hi every one,

the below codes works very well, however, i was just wondering if it is possible to add multiple attachments instead of just one attachment per email. every thing else in the code is fine, just to add additional code to add multiple attachments. for example, in the below macro, outlook picks up information from cell a, cell b and cell c in an excel file containing file name, email address and file path. Now is it possible that multiple file names and be put in cell A to attach to a single email? or any other way to do this. Because I have list of clients to whom i send a set of files to each of them. The below macro only allows me to send one file in one email and i have to send each client multiple emails for each attachment.

please help me in this as this will really solve my problem if the below code can be modified to include multiple attachments.

thanks and best regards,
CJ

Firstly, copy and paste the following code into Outlook. You can do this by selecting Tools/Macro/Visual Basic Editor and pasting in the following code.

In the code, you will notice that I have also added in the commands for you to put in a subject and send the emails, but these are remarked out as your request was just to add the address and attachment and not send the email. You can adjust these as required later.

Code:

Sub ReadExcel()
    Dim ExcelObject As Object
    Dim OutlookApp As Outlook.Application
    Dim NewMessage As Outlook.MailItem
    Dim OutlookNamespace As Outlook.NameSpace
    Dim fName, fLoc, eAddress As String
    Dim fNameAddress, fLocAddress, eAddressAddress As String
    
    ' Set up the spreadsheet you want to read
    On Error Resume Next
    Set ExcelObject = GetObject(, "Excel.Application")
    If Not Err.Number = 0 Then
        MsgBox "You need to have Excel running with the appropriate spreadsheet open first", vbCritical, "Excel Not Running"
        End
    End If
    
    ' Read in the data and create a new message with attachment for each Excel entry
    CellRow = 1
    Set OutlookApp = Outlook.Application
    Do Until ExcelObject.Range(fNameAddress) = ""
        fNameAddress = "A" & CellRow
        eAddressAddress = "B" & CellRow
        fLocAddress = "C" & CellRow
        fName = ExcelObject.Range(fNameAddress)
        fLoc = ExcelObject.Range(fLocAddress)
        eAddress = ExcelObject.Range(eAddressAddress)
        fName = fLoc & "\" & fName
        Set OutlookApp = Outlook.Application
        Set NewMessage = OutlookApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
        Set myAttachments = NewMessage.Attachments
        myAttachments.Add fName
        With NewMessage
            .Recipients.Add eAddress
            .Attachments = fName
            .Display
            ' .Subject = "Put your subject here"
            ' .Send
        End With
        CellRow = CellRow + 1
        fNameAddress = "A" & CellRow
    Loop
End Sub
