Attachment object (Outlook)
Represents a document or link to a document contained in an Outlook item.
Remarks
Use Attachments (index), where index is the index number, to return a single Attachment object.
Use the Add method to add an attachment to an item.
Example
The following Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) example creates a new mail message, attaches Q496.xlsx as an attachment (not a link), assigns the attachment a descriptive caption, and displays the mail message with this attachment. This example assumes that the specified spreadsheet, Q496.xlsx, exists in the specified path, D:\Documents.
Sub AddAttachment()
Dim myItem As Outlook.MailItem
Dim myAttachments As Outlook.Attachments
Set myItem = Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)
Set myAttachments = myItem.Attachments
myAttachments.Add "D:\Documents\Q496.xlsx", _
olByValue, 1, "4th Quarter 1996 Results Chart"
