Hi Peeps,

I'm stuck again and need the brains-trust!

I am sending an email from Excel. At the moment I am pasting a file address and name into a cell and completing the email. I would like VBA to be able to call the "Insert File" pop up box so I can use the directory to select the file to attach. Is this possible?

O4 & O5 are the cells holding the attachments.

My Code so far -

Sub Sent_Test_Email()
On Error GoTo ErrHandler

' SET Outlook APPLICATION OBJECT.
Dim objOutlook As Object
Set objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")

' CREATE EMAIL OBJECT.
Dim objEmail As Object
Set objEmail = objOutlook.CreateItem(olMailItem)

With objEmail

.to = ActiveCell.Offset(, 6).Value
.CC = ActiveCell.Offset(, 7).Value
.Subject = ActiveCell.Offset(, 8).Value
.Body = ActiveCell.Offset(, 9).Value
.Attachments.Add Range("O4").Value
.Attachments.Add Range("O5").Value
'.HTMLBody = strbody & "<br>" & Signature
'.HTMLBody = "<HTML><BODY><span style=""color:#80BFFF"">Font Color</span style=""color:#80BFFF""> <br>the <b>bold text</b> here.</br> <br><u>New line with underline</u></br><br><p style='font-family:calibri;font-size:25'>Font size</br></p></BODY></HTML>"
.Display ' Display the message in Outlook.
End With

' CLEAR.
Set objEmail = Nothing: Set objOutlook = Nothing

ErrHandler:
'

ActiveCell.Offset(, 1).Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=TODAY()"
Selection.Copy
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
Application.CutCopyMode = False
'ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select
' Down - Across

End Sub

Thanks for any help.

Workdays for a market open Mon, Wed, Friday?
Yes! Use "0101011" for the weekend argument in NETWORKDAYS.INTL or WORKDAY.INTL. The 7 digits start on Monday. 1 means it is a weekend.
Add this immediately after the Sub line:
VBA Code:
    Dim attachmentFullName As String
    With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
        .Title = "Select file to attach to email"
        .AllowMultiSelect = False
        If Not .Show Then Exit Sub
        attachmentFullName = .SelectedItems(1)
    End With
and replace one of the .Attachments.Add with:
VBA Code:
    .Attachments.Add attachmentFullName
