Hi there,

Trying to get the VBA command in Excel macro below to add an attachment
in Outlook 2000. The attachment needs to be read from a location in the
Excel file. My friend used the command below but works for Outlook in
XP and not in 2000 it seems.

..Attachments.Add CStr(ActiveCell.Offset(0, 4).Value)

The Cstr thing doesn't seem to work in 2000.

This is what I have so far:

With olMyEmail
.To = ActiveCell.Text
.CC = ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Text
.Subject = ActiveCell.Offset(0, 2).Text
.Body = ActiveCell.Offset(0, 3).Text
.Attachments.Add ----- NEED HELP HERE TO LOCATE FILE IN EXCEL CELL
.Save
End With


Thanks in advance.

I would try setting up an input to bring in the attachment destination. For
example:
mynewattachment=range("A1").value 'or whereever the location is
Then, i would try to attach it as follows (in place of .Attachments.Add in
your code):
Set myAttachments = OutMail.Attachments
myAttachments.Add mynewattachment

Hope this helps!
