My Macro problem
 

Sorry, The previous posting "escaped" before I could
complete my request.
In the macro I refer to the file that has to be attached.
Instead of pointing to the file using the path etc. I want
to attach the active workbook.
Could someone tell me how to to that please?
Many thanks.

objRecipient.Type = 1 '1 = To, use 2 for cc
objMailItem.Subject = "The extract has finished."

'Instead of the path to the file -

objMailItem.Attachments.Add ("C:\Al Jager\! Book

objMailItem.Display
End Sub

Al,

You can't use activeworkbook, as an attachment has to be from disk. So if
you want to attach the activeworkbook, you need to first save it, and then
use Activeworkbook.Fullname.
