Sending email attachments from Excel via VBA

Question

I\'ve written a macro that at the click of a button it sends an automated email via Outlook. Everything runs smoothly except I just can\'t figure out how to attach a file to

Answer 1

You need the Attachments.Add code inserted into the MailItem setup:

With objOutlookMsg
    Set objOutlookRecip = .Recipients.Add("blah@blah")
    objOutlookRecip.Type = olTo
   .Subject = "Blah " & WeekendingDate
   .Body = "blah blah blah"
'Add attachments to the message [some code]
   .Attachments.Add "pathToFile"
   For Each objOutlookRecip In .Recipients
       objOutlookRecip.Resolve
   Next
   If DisplayMsg Then
       .Display
   Else
       .Save
   End If
End With
Set objOutlook = Nothing

In one of my own scripts I pass a collection of attachments to the MailItem to be attached using a Dictionary object and the following code:

With oMailItem
        Set .SendUsingAccount = oOutlook.Session.Accounts.Item(iAccount)
        .To = EmailData("To")
        .CC = EmailData("CC")
        .BCC = EmailData("BCC")
        .Subject = EmailData("Subject")
        .Body = EmailData("Body")
        sAttachArray = Split(EmailData("AttachmentPaths"), ";")
        For Each sAttachment In sAttachArray
            .Attachments.Add(sAttachment)
        Next
        .Recipients.ResolveAll
        .Display    ' debug mode - uncomment this to see email before it's sent out
    End With
