Hello,

Can someone point me in the right direction? Or some sample code that
would do the following:

1. Save the current active document in Word.
2. Attach it to the current email
3. Save the email since it will be in "Edit Mode".

I can do number one without a problem, but it's the second portion
that's giving me problems. I know I'll have to use GetInspector to use
the current item, but I'm having troubles. Thanks.

Cheers,

Darrin

That was what I was starting to get at but it's still not working for
me. Here is my code so far:

Sub Save_Attach()
Dim objMSWord As Word.Application
Dim itmWord As Word.Document
Dim objOutlook As Outlook.Application
Dim objInspector As Outlook.Inspector
Dim objItem As Object 'Allow any Outlook item type.
Dim itmAttach
Dim objAttachments As Outlook.Attachments

itmAttach = Environ("userprofile") & "\Desktop\Sticky.doc"
' Convert it to a string.
itmAttach = StrConv(itmOpen, vbProperCase)
' The ActiveInspector is the currently open item.
'MsgBox itmAttach
Set objInspector = objOutlook.ActiveInspector
Set objItem = objInspector.CurrentItem
Set objAttachments = objItem.Attachments
Set objMSWord = Word.Application
Set itmWord = objMSWord.ActiveDocument
itmWord.Save
objAttachments.Add "C:\Documents and Settings\dhenshaw\desktop
\sticky.doc"
End Sub

As you can see I'm pulling the environmental variable userprofile,
tacking on the "\Desktop\sticky.doc" to it. That works fine in another
macro I created to open that document.

If I uncomment the MsgBox itmAttach I get a blank message box, so it's
not pulling that variable right. However, even if I hard code the file
it's not working for me.

A little background info on this. I created one macro which does the
following:

1. Programatically calls the Edit Edit Message command.
2. Then opens this sticky.doc which is located on the desktop.

Then this second button will need to do the steps I outline above. Can
anyone see the problem with my code? Thanks.
