<tbody>

I had a code below, possible to attach a code which will attach any file tht found in Path of Attachment folder?
If no folder or nth in the folder, it will be ignored.



Code:
Sub SendEmail()


'START of confirmation message box'
    response = MsgBox("Start sending email?", vbYesNo)
    If response = vbNo Then
    MsgBox ("Macro Canceled!")
    Exit Sub
    End If
'END of confirmation message box'


Dim i As Integer, Mail_Object, Email_Subject, o As Variant, lr As Long
Dim wks As Worksheet


lr = Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row


Set Mail_Object = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set wks = Worksheets("send_email")


For i = 2 To lr
        With Mail_Object.CreateItem(o)
            .To = wks.Range("B" & i).Value
            .CC = wks.Range("C" & i).Value
            .Subject = wks.Range("D" & i).Value
            .Body = wks.Range("E" & i).Value
            .Send
            '.display 'disable display and enable send to send automatically
            Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("0:00:03")) 'Pausing an application for 3s, before next email
    End With
Next i
        MsgBox "E-mail successfully sent", 64
        Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Set Mail_Object = Nothing
End Sub

I tested the code.
I got an error.

The pop-up say
Run-time error '52'
Bad File name or number

-> Debug

wFile = Dir(wPath & wPattern)

Try this.

In column H the folder. In column I the pattern. It can be:
*.pdf
*.xlsx
or directly the file
dat.jpeg

Code:
Sub SendEmail()
    Dim i As Integer, Mail_Object, Email_Subject, o As Variant, lr As Long
    Dim wks As Worksheet, wPath As String, wFile As Variant, wPattern As String


    'START of confirmation message box'
    response = MsgBox("Start sending email?", vbYesNo)
    If response = vbNo Then
        MsgBox ("Macro Canceled!")
        Exit Sub
    End If
    'END of confirmation message box'
    Set Mail_Object = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
    Set wks = Worksheets("send_email")
    lr = wks.Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row
    For i = 2 To lr
        With Mail_Object.CreateItem(o)
            .to = wks.Range("B" & i).Value
            .cc = wks.Range("C" & i).Value
            .Subject = wks.Range("D" & i).Value
            .Body = wks.Range("E" & i).Value & vbNewLine & _
                wks.Range("F" & i).Value & vbNewLine & _
                wks.Range("G" & i).Value
                
            wPath = wks.Range("H" & i).Value
[COLOR=#0000ff]            wPattern = wks.Range("I" & i).Value[/COLOR]
            If wPattern = "" Then wPattern = "*.*"
            If Right(wPath, 1) <> "\" Then wPath = wPath & "\"
            If Dir(wPath, vbDirectory) <> "" Then
                wFile = Dir(wPath & wPattern)
                Do While wFile <> ""
                    .Attachments.Add wPath & wFile
                    wFile = Dir()
                Loop
            End If
            .Send
            '.display 'disable display and enable send to send automatically
            Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("0:00:03")) 'Pausing an application for 3s, before next email
        End With
    Next i
    MsgBox "E-mail successfully sent", 64
    Application.DisplayAlerts = False
    Set Mail_Object = Nothing
End Sub

I have an app with something similar your need, you can download the file and maybe it will help you.

Excel Facts

Format cells as currency
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+4 to format cells as currency. (Shift 4 is the $ sign).
I tested the code.
I got an error.

The pop-up say
Run-time error '52'
Bad File name or number

-> Debug

wFile = Dir(wPath & wPattern)

But what did you put in the cell in column I. You can show me.


Obviously the file that you put in column I must exist in the folder.

I using this one which given by you. Not the dropbox one.

My idea was
Use either Folder or Direct Full link under Col H.


But tht code given by ur is

H = Folder Path
I = Filename.**

But since is SINGLE Direct Full link, i tot is better to use Col H rather than add more 1 col just for a filename

Code:
Sub SendEmail()
    Dim i As Integer, Mail_Object, Email_Subject, o As Variant, lr As Long
    Dim wks As Worksheet, wPath As String, wFile As Variant, wPattern As String


    'START of confirmation message box'
    response = MsgBox("Start sending email?", vbYesNo)
    If response = vbNo Then
        MsgBox ("Macro Canceled!")
        Exit Sub
    End If
    'END of confirmation message box'
    Set Mail_Object = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
    Set wks = Worksheets("send_email")
    lr = wks.Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row
    For i = 2 To lr
        With Mail_Object.CreateItem(o)
            .to = wks.Range("B" & i).Value
            .cc = wks.Range("C" & i).Value
            .Subject = wks.Range("D" & i).Value
            .Body = wks.Range("E" & i).Value & vbNewLine & _
                wks.Range("F" & i).Value & vbNewLine & _
                wks.Range("G" & i).Value
                
            wPath = wks.Range("H" & i).Value
[COLOR=#0000ff]            wPattern = wks.Range("I" & i).Value[/COLOR]
            If wPattern = "" Then wPattern = "*.*"
            If Right(wPath, 1) <> "\" Then wPath = wPath & "\"
            If Dir(wPath, vbDirectory) <> "" Then
                wFile = Dir(wPath & wPattern)
                Do While wFile <> ""
                    .Attachments.Add wPath & wFile
                    wFile = Dir()
                Loop
            End If
            .Send
            '.display 'disable display and enable send to send automatically
            Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("0:00:03")) 'Pausing an application for 3s, before next email
        End With
    Next i
    MsgBox "E-mail successfully sent", 64
    Application.DisplayAlerts = False
    Set Mail_Object = Nothing
End Sub

Dont like the idea of spilting folder path than filename.*


Try this

In H put the folder and the pattern
Examples:

C:\Users\ABC\Desktop\SavedFolder\Email1\test.JPG
C:\Users\ABC\Desktop\SavedFolder\Email1\*.pdf
C:\Users\ABC\Desktop\SavedFolder\Email1\*



Code:
Sub SendEmail()
    Dim i As Integer, Mail_Object, Email_Subject, o As Variant, lr As Long, d As Long
    Dim wks As Worksheet, pf As String, wPath As String, wFile As Variant, wPattern As String


    'START of confirmation message box'
    response = MsgBox("Start sending email?", vbYesNo)
    If response = vbNo Then
        MsgBox ("Macro Canceled!")
        Exit Sub
    End If
    'END of confirmation message box'
    Set Mail_Object = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
    Set wks = Worksheets("send_email")
    lr = wks.Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row
    For i = 2 To lr
        With Mail_Object.CreateItem(o)
            .to = wks.Range("B" & i).Value
            .cc = wks.Range("C" & i).Value
            .Subject = wks.Range("D" & i).Value
            .Body = wks.Range("E" & i).Value & vbNewLine & _
                wks.Range("F" & i).Value & vbNewLine & _
                wks.Range("G" & i).Value
             
            pf = wks.Range("H" & i).Value
            d = InStrRev(pf, "\")
            wPath = Left(pf, d)
            wPattern = Mid(pf, d + 1)
            If wPattern = "" Then wPattern = "*.*"
            'If Right(wPath, 1) <> "\" Then wPath = wPath & "\"
            If Dir(wPath, vbDirectory) <> "" Then
                wFile = Dir(wPath & wPattern)
                On Error Resume Next
                Do While wFile <> ""
                    'If Dir(wPath & wFile) <> "" Then
                        .Attachments.Add wPath & wFile
                    'End If
                    wFile = Dir()
                Loop
                On Error GoTo 0
            End If
            '.Send
            .display 'disable display and enable send to send automatically
            Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("0:00:03")) 'Pausing an application for 3s, before next email
        End With
    Next i
    MsgBox "E-mail successfully sent", 64
    Application.DisplayAlerts = False
    Set Mail_Object = Nothing
End Sub

Now, you already have 2 versions, in a column and in 2 columns.
