HELP!! Using a vba script in Outlook to copy attachments to c:\temp folders automatically

Question

Hi
I'm brand new to Visual Basic really - you will be able to tell that I am a complete beginner. I wouldn't be posting here but I had tried asking other Forums but have not got any responses.
This is the problem:- I've found a basic VB script to copy attachments within Outlook 2000 Inbox to the c:temp folder when a new email arrives in. When I debug the script in Outlook > Tools > Macros , it just seems to loop round and round within the
top function called Application_Startup () and never attempts the objInbox_ItemAdd() function which is the important part. Please can anyone say what is wrong.
I'm putting all this code within Project1 > Microsoft Outlook Objects > This OutlookSession - I bet I'm putting all this code in the wrong place aren't I? Please help anyone.
Dim WithEvents objInbox As Outlook.Items
Private Sub Application_Startup()
Set objInbox = Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).Items
End Sub
Private Sub objInbox_ItemAdd(ByVal Item As Object)
If Item.Class = olMail Then
If Item.Attachments.Count > 0 Then
Dim objAttachments As Outlook.Attachments
Set objAttachments = Item.Attachments
For Each objAttach In objAttachments
' Does not handle duplicate filename scenarios
objAttach.SaveAsFile "C:\temp" & objAttach.FileName
Next
Set objAttachments = Nothing
End If
End If
End Sub
Also, I've set the Security to Low within Outlook > Tools> Macros > Security and a bit baffled why this won't run.
Just for info, I got this VBScript solution from:-
Outlook Visual Basic for Applications Rules
Kind Regards
Matt
p.s I'm stuck with Outlook 2000 due to a limitation with some Legacy software that my company is still using.

Thanks jrv.
At the moment - I don't have the time to learn VBA better along with learning the other things I have an intested in already (e.g. PowerScript) - My customer has an outstanding fault which need fixing urgently. I've spent about 5 hours so fa trying to get
a VBA script to work withing Outlook but to no avail. I might ask around my company to see if any one else can help or post this on a non-Microsoft forum I think.
Cheers all the same

So you sold a job to do something you do not knowhow to do.  You are getting paid.  It is your job to learn or to hire someone with the skills you have sold.  We cannot produce custom scripts for an obsolete version of Outlook 2000.. 
O2000 is almost 15 years old. It is not secure as no security patches have been released for it for almost 10 years.  It is old technology which none of us care to remember unless you want to pay us for the assistance.
Here is the link to the instructions in th KB that you completely ignored:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/235852/EN-US
It shows you exactly how to do this in Outlook 2000.  You must read all of the instructions carefully.  YOu must try all example code and be sure you understand how it works.  Post all issues with how to use VBA in the Outlook VBA developers
forum AFTER you have tried that code and have a specific question and not just a requirement for someone to fix this for you.
The code in the article is explicit to Outlook 2000.  The code you are using is only usable in Outlook 2002 and later.,  You must follow the examples for Outlook 2000 as outlined in your original article.
If you want to be a technician you need to learn all of these things.  Just knowing how to install a PC is not sufficient if you are going to be a contractor.
VBA is VBA.  Posting here will not change that.  This is an Admin scarping forum and not an office VBA forum.  VBA is NOT VBScript.  No matter how much it looks like VBScript it is not.
You cannot just copy VBScript into a VBA module and expect it to work. 
You have sold the job of a programmer and Outlook developer with no skills in that area.  Is that fair to your customer?
There are hundreds of skilled developers who have spent good money and time learning to do these things. You cannot just past some things you found on the Internet into a file and ask someone to fix it for you. 
Start by learning the difference between script and VB.  Next you need to learn what an event is and how it is generated.  The code you posted does nothing in Outlook because it is not Outlook code.
No.  I am not picking on you.  I am trying to get you to wake up and spend time learning your profession.  It is a lot of fun and actually pretty easy but only if you do your homework.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
