Here's the code. What it does is run through all the messages in your inbox, if the sender is a specific person, check for attachments and save them to your hd

private Sub Command1_Click()

Dim OLApp as new Outlook.Application
Dim OLNS as Outlook.NameSpace
Dim OLFL as Outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim OLMI as Outlook.MailItem
Dim OLAT as Outlook.Attachment

set OLNS = OLApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
set OLFL = OLNS.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)

for Each OLMI In OLFL.Items
If OLMI.SenderName = "Cakkie" then
for Each OLAT In OLMI.Attachments
OLAT.SaveAsFile "c:\" & OLAT.FileName
next OLAT
End If
next OLMI

End Sub
