On which line?

If it was this one

Set mi = fldr.Items(78)

then you may not have 78 emails in your inbox. You need to set mi equal to
the email that you want. For tips on this see

http://www.dicks-clicks.com/excel/olRetrieving.htm

This sub takes the body from the email and parses into lines on a sheet.
Having the body in A1, doesn't matter, because it's not taking the body from
the worksheet, rather, straight from the email.

Post back if that doesn't answer your question.

Dick,

In XP and with the body of the email in cell "AI" I tried the
"emaillines" sub but ran into "Run-time error '-2147352567
(80020009)':

Array index out of bounds."

How to fix please.

TIA

Ron

The Body property is just a string, so you can manipulate it like any
other
stirng. Here's an example

Sub emaillines()

Dim ol As Outlook.Application
Dim ns As Outlook.NameSpace
Dim fldr As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim mi As Outlook.MailItem
Dim stBody As String
Dim LineBreak As Long
Dim i As Long

Set ol = New Outlook.Application
Set ns = ol.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set fldr = ns.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
Set mi = fldr.Items(78)

stBody = mi.Body
LineBreak = 1
i = 1

Do
ActiveSheet.Cells(i, 1).Value = _
Mid(stBody, LineBreak, InStr(LineBreak, stBody, Chr(10)) -
LineBreak)
LineBreak = InStr(LineBreak + 1, stBody, Chr(10)) + 1
i = i + 1
Loop Until LineBreak = 0 Or LineBreak Len(stBody)

End Sub
