PostItem.SaveAs method (Outlook)

  • Makale

Saves the Microsoft Outlook item to the specified path and in the format of the specified file type. If the file type is not specified, the MSG format (.msg) is used.

Syntax

expression.SaveAs (Path, Type)

expression A variable that represents a PostItem object.

Parameters

Name Required/Optional Data type Description
Path Required String The path in which to save the item.
Type Optional Variant The file type to save. Can be one of the following OlSaveAsType constants: olHTML, olMSG, olRTF, olTemplate, olDoc, olTXT, olVCal, olVCard, olICal, or olMSGUnicode.

Remarks

Also note that even though olDoc is a valid OlSaveAsType constant, messages in HTML format cannot be saved in Document format, and the olDoc constant works only if Microsoft Word is set up as the default email editor.

Example

This Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) example uses the SaveAs method to save the currently open item as a text file in the Documents folder, using the subject as the file name. To run this example, make sure a mail item in plain text format is open in the active window.

Sub SaveAsTXT() 
 Dim myItem As Outlook.Inspector 
 Dim objItem As Object 
 
 Set myItem = Application.ActiveInspector 
 If Not TypeName(myItem) = "Nothing" Then 
 Set objItem = myItem.CurrentItem 
 strname = objItem.Subject 
 'Prompt the user for confirmation 
 Dim strPrompt As String 
 strPrompt = "Are you sure you want to save the item? " & _ 
 "If a file with the same name already exists, " & _ 
 "it will be overwritten with this copy of the file." 
 If MsgBox(strPrompt, vbYesNo + vbQuestion) = vbYes Then 
 objItem.SaveAs Environ("HOMEPATH") & "\My Documents\" & strname & ".txt", olTXT 
 End If 
 Else 
 MsgBox "There is no current active inspector." 
 End If 
End Sub

This Visual Basic for Applications example shows you how to create a template using the SaveAs method.

Sub CreateTemplate() 
 Dim MyItem As Outlook.PostItem 
 
 Set MyItem = Application.CreateItem(olPostItem) 
 MyItem.Subject = "Status Report" 
 MyItem.Display 
 MyItem.SaveAs Environ("HOMEPATH") & "\My Documents\statusrep.oft", OlSaveAsType.olTemplate 
End Sub
