I have a module which sends emails from Access to Outlook. If there are attachments I am using an InputBox for the filename. It occurs to me however that there may be a way to bring up the Insert File Box from Windows to find and insert the file (in the same way as you would from within Outlook). So far I have not been able to find if it is possible. Is it? And if so where do I find it?
Thanks
Peter

Patch reliability is unclear. Unless you have an immediate, pressing need to install a specific patch, don't do it. |

Have a look at Call the standard Windows File Open/Save dialog box from the Access Web
It’s for Access 97 but it works in Access 2000 also. -

You’re right when you say that it looks complicated.
But the only thing you have to do is copy the code in a new module
Select the Menu Tools, References and uncheck reference if the are marked MISSING
Remove or change these two lines in the GetOpenFile function:
strFilter = ahtAddFilterItem(strFilter, _
“Access (*.mdb)”, “*.MDB;*.MDA”)Save the module with any name but not the same name of a function in the module.
The when you need you file to attach, just use
MyAttachFile = GetOpenFile
That’s all. -
