MS Office Forum / Outlook / Programming VBA / April 2008Trouble saving a text attachment
Hello I want to save a text attachment to a certain directory, using the SaveAsFile method. When I open the saved text, I cannot be readable; what should I do? The attachment is "details.txt", typical attachment when a mail sent bounces back. Thanks a lot. Are you specifying the save as file type as OlTXT? Please show your SaveAsFile code statement.

Saving an attachment with a .txt extension makes sense only if the attachment is in fact a plain text file. If it's a .doc file, for example, changing the extension to .txt is going to leave you with gibberish.

In fact the attached file is txt: "Details.txt", which is the typical file that returns when a previous message is bounced back, and this file reports the error. The file can be opened and be seen within Outlook, but when using the SaveAsFile method the content cannot be readable. > Sorry, I misread your original post and thought you were saving a message, not an attachment.

Sorry, but I can't think of any scenario in which an attachment would be readable when double-clicked from the message and unreadable when saved with the same file extension.
