objOutlookMsg.Attachments = "C:\test.txt"

Mark,

I think this is what you are after. I've not tested it, so you might have to tweak it slightly.


Set myOlApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set myItem = myOlApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
Set myAttachments = myItem.Attachments
myAttachments.Add "C:\Test.txt", _
olByValue, 1, "Test File"
