Question : Automatically save / read attachments

I need to get information from a .txt that is sent to me as an e-mail attachment. I use Thunderbird as my e-mail client, but am happy to use Outlook if absolutly neccessary.

From Access, using DAO, is there a method to save attachment files:
* received by an e-mail account
* by file type (e.g .txt)
* to a specific folder

The name of the attachment is known.

I know how to get the data from the.txt file. My challange is to get the .txt file!

I have tried the "AttachmentExtractor" Thunderbird addon, but this only appears to save attachments following one set of rules - e.g one e-mail address to one folder. I need to to be able to do this to numerous e-mail accounts

Many thanks

Answer : Automatically save / read attachments

The code is fairly straightforward, once you know the Outlook VBA Syntax.

Read the full artical, then see the "Additional Enhancements" section called:
