I am trying to make a VBA to save a file and email it as an attachment. I have gotten it to save file as pdf. But cant for the life of me get it to send as attachment through outlook

Code for save is

Sub Save_as_PDF()



Dim wsA As Worksheet

Dim wbA As Workbook

Dim strName As String

Dim strPath As String

Dim strFile As String

Dim strPathFile As String

Dim myFile As Variant

Dim lOver As Long

On Error GoTo errHandler



Set wbA = ActiveWorkbook

Set wsA = ActiveSheet



strPath = wbA.Path

If strPath = "" Then

strPath = Application.DefaultFilePath

End If

strPath = strPath & ""



strName = wsA.Range("A1").Value _

& " - " & wsA.Range("A2").Value _

& " - " & wsA.Range("A3").Value



strFile = strName & ".pdf"

strPathFile = strPath & strFile



If bFileExists(strPathFile) Then

lOver = MsgBox("Overwrite existing file?", _

vbQuestion + vbYesNo, "File Exists")

If lOver <> vbYes Then



myFile = Application.GetSaveAsFilename _

(InitialFileName:=strPathFile, _

FileFilter:="PDF Files (*.pdf), *.pdf", _

Title:="Select Folder and FileName to save")

If myFile <> "False" Then

strPathFile = myFile

Else

GoTo exitHandler

End If

End If

Else



wsA.ExportAsFixedFormat _

Type:=xlTypePDF, _

FileName:=strPathFile, _

Quality:=xlQualityStandard, _

IncludeDocProperties:=True, _

IgnorePrintAreas:=False, _

OpenAfterPublish:=True



MsgBox "PDF file has been created: " _

& vbCrLf _

& strPathFile

End If



exitHandler:

Exit Sub

errHandler:

MsgBox "Could not create PDF file"

Resume exitHandler

End Sub

'=============================

Function bFileExists(rsFullPath As String) As Boolean

bFileExists = CBool(Len(Dir$(rsFullPath)) > 0)

End Function

After this line:

Code:
wsA.ExportAsFixedFormat _   Type:=xlTypePDF, _
   FileName:=strPathFile, _
   Quality:=xlQualityStandard, _
   IncludeDocProperties:=True, _
   IgnorePrintAreas:=False, _
   OpenAfterPublish:=True

Put:

Code:
     Dim dam
        Set dam = CreateObject("Outlook.Application").CreateItem(0)
        dam.To = email@gmail.com
        dam.Cc = another@gmail.com           'with copy
        dam.Subject ="test"
        dam.Body = "test send mail"
        dam.Attachments.Add strPathFile
