Sergey,
Thanks for the pointer. I'm sure the answer is there, but I can't quite get it to work -

=GETOBJECT("o", "Outlook.Application")
FOR EACH i in o.ActiveExplorer.Selection()
	i.SaveAs("c:\temp\test.msg")
NEXT

The FOR EACH line indicates a syntax error and I can't see what is wrong with it.

I have tried having a single email item selected in Outlook and reducing the offending line of code to

o.ActiveExplorer.Selection(1).SaveAs("c:\temp\test.msg")

but then I get an OLE error: Parameter not optional.


Any advice greatly welcomed!
Thanks
Barry Sutton
