Hey All,
Trying to send an email with an attachment. I keep getting this error
"Can't find this file. Make sure the path and file name are correct" They are correct I am using a code sample I found on the forum.
I'm stumped. HELP
Thanks
Rich
Here's the code.

Option Explicit
' You need to declare a reference to the Outlook library, and the filesystemobject.
' this is not as hard as it sounds.
'
' Look in the menu above, and click Tools, then select References
'
' Scroll down the list until you see
' Microsoft Scripting Runtime -- and put a check next to it (if one is not there already)
'
' Microsoft Outlook Object Library -- check that.
' There will be some version number there as well; it doesn't matter.
' This will work with Outlook98 and Outlook2000 and OutlookXP. It hasn't been tested on Outlook 2003 yet.
