i need save excel attachement received inside outlook messages in specific sub folder (daily final) located in inbox , knowing emails in subflders including excel attached file. had below example excel vba not working kindly advie me

 sub saveattachmentstofolder()  ' outlook macro checks named subfolder in outlook inbox  ' (here "daily final" folder) messages attached  ' files of specific type (here file "xls" extension)  ' , saves them disk. saved files timestamped. user  ' can choose view saved files in windows explorer.  ' note: make sure specified subfolder , save folder exist  ' before running macro.  on error goto saveattachmentstofolder_err  ' declare variables  dim ns namespace  dim inbox mapifolder  dim subfolder mapifolder  dim item object  dim atmt attachment  dim filename string  dim integer  dim varresponse vbmsgboxresult  set ns = getnamespace("mapi")  set inbox = ns.getdefaultfolder(olfolderinbox)  set subfolder = inbox.folders("daily final") ' enter correct subfolder name.  = 0  ' check subfolder messages , exit of none found  if subfolder.items.count = 0  msgbox "there no messages in sales reports folder.", vbinformation , _  "nothing found"  exit sub  end if  ' check each message attachments  each item in subfolder.items  each atmt in item.attachments  ' check filename of each attachment , save if has "xls" extension  if right(atmt.filename, 3) = "xls"  ' path must exist! change folder name necessary.  filename = "c:\email attachments\" & _  format(item.creationtime, "yyyymmdd_hhnnss_") & atmt.filename  atmt.saveasfile filename  = + 1  end if  next atmt  next item  ' show summary message  if > 0  varresponse = msgbox("i found " & & " attached files." _  & vbcrlf & "i have saved them c:\email attachments folder." _  & vbcrlf & vbcrlf & "would view files now?" _  , vbquestion + vbyesno, "finished!")  ' open windows explorer display saved files if user chooses  if varresponse = vbyes  shell "explorer.exe /e,c:\email attachments", vbnormalfocus  end if  else  msgbox "i didn't find attached files in mail.", vbinformation , "finished!"  end if  ' clear memory saveattachmentstofolder_exit:  set atmt = nothing  set item = nothing  set ns = nothing  exit sub  ' handle errors saveattachmentstofolder_err:  msgbox "an unexpected error has occurred." _  & vbcrlf & "please note , report following information." _  & vbcrlf & "macro name: getattachments" _  & vbcrlf & "error number: " & err.number _  & vbcrlf & "error description: " & err.description _  , vbcritical, "error!"  resume saveattachmentstofolder_exit  end sub 

it seems have cut-and-pasted website not familiar vba. when paste code vba code wondow, highlight lines there problems. apply knowledge fix these problems. example, line above should 1 statement:

msgbox "there no messages in sales reports folder.", vbinformation , _  "nothing found" 

like so:

msgbox "message", buttons, "title" 

you can put statement on 3 lines have it, must use line continuation character (_), have one, need two.

msgbox "there no messages in sales reports folder.", _ vbinformation , _  "nothing found" 

here

filename = "c:\email attachments\" & _  format(item.creationtime, "yyyymmdd_hhnnss_") & 

you have &. statement cannot end &

the f1 key can helpful in these situations.
