this likely can be done, but you'll need someone familiar with VBA in Outlook.
Maybe this thread will from Outlook | Programming-VBA will put you on the

Hello,

I have posted this query in the OUTLOOK newsgroup 2 days ago, but no
responses yet. I am not sure if this can be done. I know I should not post
the same message, but I was hoping that someone in this Excel newsgroup
could help/direct me.

Thank you

Hello,

I receive a considerable amount of emails each with one Excel file
attachment, and the name of the attachment has a distinct name.

I would like to move these messages to a distinct directory in OUTLOOK (done
manually), and then apply a macro to those messages which would
automatically save the attachments from each message to a specific directory
for later use. I don't want to open the files from the email, just save the
attachment. Can this be done? I have seen how macros can help in Excel,
but don't know if it can also be done in Outlook.

Thank you in advance.

André
