  • Article

Contains a set of Attachment objects that represent the attachments in an Outlook item.

Remarks

Example

The following Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) example creates a new mail message, attaches a Q496.xls as an attachment (not a link), and gives the attachment a descriptive caption.

Set myItem = Application.CreateItem(olMailItem) 
 
myItem.Save 
 
Set myAttachments = myItem.Attachments 
 
myAttachments.Add "C:\My Documents\Q496.xls", _
