Please find the following code snippet for retrieving various Outlook attachments - Reference, Value, Embedded and OLE using Outlook Object Model (OOM) & VBA:
'Code Snippet : How to retrieve Outlook attachments using Visual Basic for Application (VBA)
Dim omailitem As Outlook.MailItem
Dim oattach As Outlook.Attachment
Dim ofolder As Outlook.Folder
Set ofolder = Application.Session.PickFolder
Debug.Print "Total Items available in Folder : " & ofolder.Items.Count
For Each Item In ofolder.Items
Set omailitem = Item
Debug.Print "Item Subject :" & omailitem.Subject & " Size (in bytes):" & omailitem.Size
If omailitem.Attachments.Count > 0 Then
For Each oattach In omailitem.Attachments
If oattach.Type = Outlook.olByReference Then
Debug.Print "By reference : " & oattach.FileName & " Size (in bytes) : " & oattach.Size
ElseIf oattach.Type = Outlook.olByValue Then
Debug.Print "By Value : " & oattach.FileName & " Size (in bytes) : " & oattach.Size
ElseIf oattach.Type = Outlook.olEmbeddeditem Then
Debug.Print "Embedded item : " & oattach.FileName & " Size (in bytes) : " & oattach.Size
ElseIf oattach.Type = Outlook.olOLE Then
Debug.Print "OLE : " & oattach.FileName & " Size (in bytes) :" & oattach.Size
End If
Debug.Print "-------------------"
Next
Here, - olByReference The attachment is a shortcut to the location of the original file. - olByValue The attachment is a copy of the original file and can be accessed even if the original file is removed. - olEmbeddeditem The attachment is an Outlook message format file (.msg) and is a copy of the original message. - olOLE The attachment is an OLE document
