    Sorry if this is in the wrong section.

    This will save me a few hours in work.

    I need to extract the attchments from a ".msg file" which is a microsoft outlook email with attchments that is saved to a single file.

    When these are opened, "they" launch outlook, and the message with
    embedded attachments ,which you then proceed to download is displayed.

    I've written some code in VBA to open an .xls file and import specific values, and apply certain formula(s) on them.

    The opening and extraction of the attachments is the part I need automated. Is there any bits of code that can do this, or even a freeware program?

    Cheers.

    Given the the .msg format is a MS one, there is probably lots tools in the MS development environment... I'd be surprised if there wasn't a defined API.

    There are tools out there for those working in the non-MS development area too such as http://auxilii.com/msgparser/

    I would have though google could provide any number of solutions for something like this.
