Hi,
If you figured out how to do this, would you be willing to share?

Michael,

Thanks for your response. Sometimes I don't do such a great job at
communicating ideas that I don't fully understand.

The list I was refering to was the distribution list.

This is what I had in mind:

creat an array of values for my D/L

(xyz, abc, 123) etc.

start a loop

if finished with array
end
else
open new message
sendto: (next array value)
enter subject text : "monthly report"
add attachment (file location based on array value) file based on most recent
send
loop

I mainly stuck on the choosing the file and I am thinking your suggestion
of scripting runtime would go in the middle of the loop where I am trying to
select the file.

As far as my mentioning prompting I was thinking about for only file
selction that it would just prompt me for a file and once I selected the file
the code would continue to the next value in the array.

I may be way off in my design.

Hi Michael,

sorry, but I don´t understand you.

What kind of list do you mean? And when do you want to be prompted?

Did you take a look at the Scripting Runtime, as I suggested?

Thanks for your answer Michael, I am trying out somethings based on
your
response.

How would I macro it to just populate a new mail with the list and
then
prompt me for a file to attach. That would be quicker that what I do
now.

I was thinking that since my directory is the same name as my
distribution
list I could some how piece together a way to choose the file from
that?

Eventhoug I am learning some basics I am still a total novice when it
comes
to writing these pieces.

Thanks

Michael

Hi Michael,

the easiest way for getting the file informations would be the using
of
the FileSystemObject (Microsoft Scripting Runtime, scrrun.dll).

Once, you have the newest file, you can call CreateItem for a new
MailItem, and it´s Attachments.Add for adding the file.

Is there a way to macro sending attachments to multiple
recipients. I
have
14 reports that go to 14 distribution lists. Each report going to
its
own
distribuing list. I do this once permonth and the distribution
list
is the
same but the report names are different. Example

xyz distribution list gets "c:\report\xyz\xyz report jan.xls"
abc distribuion list gets "c:\report\abc\abc report jan.xls"

etc.

The report being sent is always the most recent in the respective
directory.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated

I have an Excel spreadsheet with some vba code to do this. It worked until
our IT dept "upgraded" to a new version of Outlook. If someone can help me
debug, I'll gladly share it.
