Script for Outlook 2007 to move attachments to desktop and rename attachments.

My apologies if this is in the wrong "Discussion area" if so, please let me
know where it needs to go and I will repost it.
Also, Please forgive me as I am NOT a scripter... I do not know coding, but am finding
myself in need of a script... I can copy and paste, and know enough to make adjustments
to wording as necessary, but lack the knowledge of how to write my own code.  Please help me.
I currently recieve about 50 emails DAILY with attachments in each of them 
within outlook on my network.  I need a script that will copy the
attachments from the emails, and then paste them into a special folder
on my desktop.  I would like to have the script also rename the attachments
to a date based upon when the email was received. (ex: 18OCTOBER)
To be more specific, this is what I am trying to accomplish:
There are 2  folders on my desktop called "TRUCKS" and "CARS". 
Within each of those Folders are other folders named "2011", "2012", "2013", and "2014".
I receive about 20-25 emails daily going to a folder called "INCOMING TRUCKS" in 
Outlook. The email always contains an attachment called "AD Form.pdf".
I need to copy this "AD Form.pdf" from my Outlook email and have the
attachment placed in the 2014 Folder of the TRUCKS folder on my desktop,
(and come next year, go to the 2015 folder...that I will create later)
Then I would like to script to Rename the "AD Form.pdf" attachment to 
"18 OCTOBER.pdf" (The date I received the email)...
AND 
I also receive about 25-30 emails daily going to my "INCOMING CARS" folder from my 
Outlook account. The emails contain attachments called "AD Form.pdf".
I need to copy this "AD Form.pdf" attachment from my Outlook email and have the
attachment placed in the 2014 Folder of the CARS folder on my desktop,
(and come next year, go to the 2015 folder...that I will create later)
Then I would like to script to Rename the "AD Form.pdf" attachment to 
"18 OCTOBER.pdf" (The date I received the email)...
I would need this script to go through all of the emails within
the INCOMING TRUCKS and INCOMING CARS folder and once complete,
give an "alert" type of message saying "Process complete!" for me 
to click on an "OK" button.
I do hope that I explained this well enough to be understood.
Is there a script out there that already does this? 
If so, please point me to it, as I have not been able to find it through 
Google, or any other sites I have looked into (Been looking for over 3 
weeks now).
If not, I am wondering if this can even be done by scripts?
Right now I am manually doing all of this work, and it takes about 
20 minutes of my time away from handling other items that need my 
attention.  I am hoping a script can do this for me in less than 20 seconds.
I understand if for a script to work, I have to be there and open programs or folders to
make it work.  If Anyone can assist, it would be greatly appreciated.
My Specifics, if needed...I have a Windows XP-SP3 Desktop PC, and I use Office 2007.  This is NETWORK computer at work. The IT guy "doesn't get paid to write scripts."  :(
Email me direct to: [email protected] 
Thanks again for any assistance.

Yes, this can be done with scripts, e.g. with VBScript. Script execution time should be between one and two wooshes. To save you 20 minutes each day someone will need to invest perhaps half a day to write the script, debug it, fine-tune it and document it.
As Bill Stewart suggests, this is far beyond giving you some hints. You will need to pay a consultant to create this time-saver for you.

  • Set the properties Editor of Add-in for Outlook 2007

    Hi All,
    I've developed an add-in for outlook 2007, the setup doesn't give any errors but when I open the Outlook the add-in is disabled.
    May be because is the only add-in with <any Author>.
    How can I set this properties in visual studio 2010?
    Thanks,
    Thomas

    Hello Thomas,
    First of all, check out the Trust center settings in Outlook. Are macro security settings applied to add-ins as well? Are only signed add-in allowed to run?
    Microsoft Office applications can disable add-ins that behave unexpectedly. If an application does not load your add-in, the application
    might have hard disabled or soft disabled your add-in.
    Hard disabling can occur when an add-in causes the application to close unexpectedly. It might also occur on your development computer
    if you stop the debugger while the Startup event
    handler in your add-in is executing.
    Soft disabling can occur when an add-in produces an error that does not cause the application to unexpectedly close. For example, an application
    might soft disable an add-in if it throws an unhandled exception while the Startup event
    handler is executing.
    When you re-enable a soft-disabled add-in, the application immediately attempts to load the add-in. If the problem that initially caused
    the application to soft disable the add-in has not been fixed, the application will soft disable the add-in again.
    Read more about that in the How to: Re-enable an Add-in That
    Has Been Disabled article.
    P.S. You need to sing the add-in files with a digital signature to see the author name in Outlook. 

  • Validate for Outlook 2007 (Word 2007) on Mac

    Hi, we are creating HTML email campaigns here that we want to be as compliant as possible across all email clients. I've learned a great deal about properly coding the HTML files so that they break down as gracefully as possible (inline styles only, tables, etc, etc). The files hold up pretty well across all major clients, including Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, AOL, Outlook 2003 or older, Mac Mail, etc.
    AND THEN THERE'S OUTLOOK 2007...
    So Outlook 2007 pretty much destroys my 'almost' completely compliant HTML.
    - So I've seen there is a validator for Outlook 2007 and Dreamweaver, but it appears to be PC only. Are there any plugins or similar ways to quickly validate your HTML against Outlook 2007 (which uses the lovely Word 2007 engine) if on a Mac???
    Thanks. We have Dreamweaver CS3 here on our Macs. We do have one token PC in the office, but it does not have Dreamweaver (or any Web editor) installed on it. So the Microsoft validator won't really help us here.
    - Any other sites or tips to figure out some of the major issues in coding for Outlook 2007???
    THANKS. Microsoft once again is enduring itself to designers everywhere...

    Hi, thanks for the tips!
    I ended up digging up an installation of Studio 8 that I was able to load onto our PC. So I was able to get the Word 2007 validator working, but it's really not very helpful here. It told me a couple things weren't valid, such as 'text-transform', which actually DO work. And then some things that are not working at all it doesn't mention (such as my side-column 'borders' that have fixed-width DIVs in them, but totally collapse)!!! Frustrating when I'm trying to figure out workarounds.
    And I did check out the articles, thanks. The Email-Marketing reports basically spells out the problem in general terms, I think I need some more specific issues/workarounds. And the Microsoft article is helpful, just a bit hard to decipher (core, core extended, full).
    I'll keep digging, or any other resources would be GREATLY appreciated.
    And, in case anyone knows these tricks, I'll post my biggest issues as this emailer was supposed to go out this morning:
    - Background images totally gone, no workarounds??? This was a decent part of the design, but we'll include a background color on the table cell as a backup.
    - I was using DIVs with a 'width: 20px' to define the width of my side columns (inserted into the empty TDs), which are basically just empty white side margins. It looks like 'width' is not supported. How can I 'prop' these columns open best? I don't want to use spacer gifs, as these can sometimes be picked up as spam.
    - Any tips for getting the margins & padding around type more consistent? I have large type that breaks onto 3 lines, and is using a pretty large 'line-height'. It looks like this line-height is added to the top margin pushing the type way down. Looks fine in all other email clients.
    THANKS FOR ANY HELP!!!
    PS - we do use MailChimp for some of our clients, and could get an account for ourselves. But I think the only way they would help us is if we used their templates. We're designing these pretty custom from scratch (though they are pretty basic).

    How best to sync Outlook 2007 Calendar ad Contacts to Ipad2 and Android phone

    As for the Android device... try googling for options.

  • I'm using the sync option for when I'm not near my desktop and no matter what it won't work its telling me my account name or password is not correct and it is!

    I'm using the sync option for when I'm not near my desktop and no matter what it won't work its telling me my account name or password is not correct and it is!

    This is from my personal experience:
    It almost happens every time I tried to connect with Sync from my Android phone, the window asking me to enter my account name and password always shows up. And if I enter the information, it'll say I have the wrong password, etc. My workaround is to click the "cancel" button. But it does not cancel immediately. The window will stay on for a while (usually a few minutes), then it'll disappear and start connecting to Sync. And it'll connect and sync successfully.
    You can try this workaround but you have to be patient to wait for the window to disappear.
    I don't know what is the cause of this, but it has happened ever since FF4 for Mobile came out. I have searched around and couldn't find any solutions.

  • 10.1.3.0.9 available via metalink  - still no support for Outlook 2007

    It's available as Patch 6120041 via metalink...

    Well, AFAIK 10.1.3.10 was the version released for Outlook 07. In any case, for me it doesn't work either...
    Clean XP SP3 install, and Office 2007 Enterprise SP1. When I install the connector, it crashes trying to connec to the calendar server (outlook hangs, crashes, etc.)
    Cleared out profiles, deleted the files as well, uninstalled, reinstalled - nothing.
    Tried out 10.1.3.11 released in metalink but still same issues.
    Tried to configure it as calendar only - still nothing.
    I'm back at uninstalling Office 2007 - Installing Outlook 2003 and then installing back Office 2007, keeping Outlook 03.

  • Outlook 2007 with iPad not sync Calendar and Address~!!!

    My itunes already update and works fine on all iPAD application.. Evething work fines other then OUTLOOK 2007. itunes could see OUTLOOK and my address folder, but when sync between iTunes and iPAD, it simply ignore my calendar and address book sync.... it just check music, movie, photo... but not my data.
    I already reinstall OUTLOOK 2007, itunes latest version and recovery my iPAD, still not success. Please help.~! Thx.~!

    Here's the solution provided by Risco in the iPhone 3GS forum. It's the only one that I found that works for exactly the same problem on both the iPhone 3GS and the iPad. I might add that I was also getting two other error message every time I connected to iTunes ("Mobile Sync stopped working," and "Yahoo Go Sync stopped working").
    Here it is (for Windows):
    Go to Program Files ( x86 if using 64 bit )
    Open Common Files
    Open Apple
    Open Apple Application Support
    Copy the Sqlite3.dll
    Go to the windows folder
    Open system32 if on 32bit, or syswow64 if on 64bit
    Find the sqlite3.dll
    Rename it to sqlite.dll.bk (if none there, go directly to Paste step below)
    Paste the new one in there
    Open iTunes and it should sync everything fine and no errors!

  • Outlook 2007 mail not syncing. Contacts and calendar working fine.

    I upgraded to 7.7.1 and it did not help either. I imported the email acct into my iPhone, and Outlook is working fine. I cannot figure out how to get Outlook mail sync'd to the phone. I appreciate any assistance.
    Thank you.
    Carroll

    Sorry for adding to this, but I am still confused a bit.
    For business I send a ton of emails from my iPhone, and they aren't syncing in my OUTLOOK 2007 sent items folder. I am not very tech savvy when it comes to email formats. My work email address is a mail.****.com format.
    So, if it isn't IMAP, (If I understand you correctly), Outlook will never sync sent messages that were sent from my iPhone?
    It's a shame if that is true, I just assumed it would have native support for such things - from a business perspective it only makes sense. I have read through literally 100 topics on Outlook issues but can't find a clear and concise answer. I do have a mobile ME account thinking that would solve the issue. (I am assuming it only solves the issue if you are sending the email from a mobile ME account?)
    Thanks, if anyone can answer, been banging my head against this for a week now =)

  • I started my computer and the icons for firefox said "Whywhy" both on my desktop and in the strat menu.

    The wording under the icons on both desktop and start menu was changed to "Whywhy". I have not used those icons to run firefox for fear that it would launch a virus or malware. I have never seen this happen before, and I have attempted to search the internet for a solution as to why it happened. There are no results for that intrernet search, both in your knowledge base and google.

    The following link shows you what files/folders to remove if the uninstaller does not work - http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox

  • GPO for enabling the 'My Computer' icon on Win 7 desktops, and renaming it with the machine's hostname?

    Is there a GPO that can allow me to enable the My Computer icon on my Windows 7 SP1 Pro clients, as well as automatically renaming it from 'My Computer' to the actual hostname of the machine?

    Even in Windows 7, there still isn’t a Group Policy setting that will let you add the ‘My Computer’ icon to the desktop (unless you forcibly change the Start Menu to Classic) and then change the name from My Computer to anything else. I am very
    surprised this isn’t a setting but we can still modify the registry to achieve this (either inside a GPO or with a script):
    To show the ‘My Computer’ icon on the desk"text-decoration:underline;">
    [HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel]
    Name = {20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}
    Type =REG_DWORD
    Value = 0
    To change the ‘My Computer’ icon to computer or user name:
    [HKCR\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}]
    Name = LocalizedString
    Type = REG_EXPAND_SZ
    Data value = %computername% or any combination you like – eg %username% %computername%
    Don’t forget you will need to change the permissions / ownership on this registry key so that you can change it – by default even Administrators cannot modify it.
    These both apply to Windows XP and 7 and Windows Server 2003 and 2008.

  • Send and Receive script for Outlook 2011 not working

    I used to have a script to send and receive mail in Entourage. When I change the script to:
    tell application "Microsoft Outlook"
    connect to every pop account
    connect to every imap account
    send
    end tell
    It hangs at the second line and I am not able to fix it, anybody know how to do this?

    I don't have any accounts in Outlook to test, so this is a bit of a long shot, but could it be that you want something as simple as the following? I assume this is part of something bigger, as cmd-k will do the same thing.
    <pre style="
    font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
    font-size: 10px;
    margin: 0px;

  • Rented movie on my desktop and want to watch on my laptop

    I just wanted to clarify a movie rental issue.
    I keep my iTunes library on an external HDD so I can use it with either my MacBook Pro or G4 MDD as needed, wired or wirelessly. Last night I rented a movie that I downloaded through iTunes on my G4 MDD which was connected directly to the HDD. After it was done, I closed iTunes on my G4 then wirelessly connected to the HDD from my MacBook, started iTunes and tried to watch the rented movie only to find that I could not because the MacBook was not authorized.
    I haven't found this specific issue covered, but from what I've been able to gather here and elsewhere online, there is probably no way around this.
    Has anyone else had this issue and been able to figure out how to watch a rented movie on a laptop that you downloaded on a desktop or vice versa?
    Thank you,
    Todd

    You can have the rented movie on only one device at a time.
    Did you authorize you MacBook?
    You also need to be connected to the Internet as I remember to watch a rented movie.
