Attachments Object (Outlook)

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

Remarks

Use the Attachments property to return the Attachments collection for any Outlook item (except notes).

Use the Add method to add an attachment to an item.

To ensure consistent results, always save an item before adding or removing objects in the Attachments collection of the item.

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", _ 
 
 olByValue, 1, "4th Quarter 1996 Results Chart"
