How to send attachment with MS Outlook automation?

[Mike Pliam]

Found a method that works. Turns out you do need both Attachment and Attachments interfaces from the Class Wizard type library.
The following code adopted from this site works to send an email with an attachment.
see: http://us.generation-nt.com/answer/s...-49590791.html

	CAttachments atts;

	 //COleVariant oAttachLocation(oStr);
	 COleVariant oAttachLocation(m_vcsAttachments[0]);
	 COleVariant covOption((long)DISP_E_PARAMNOTFOUND, VT_ERROR);
	 CAttachments olAths = olMailItem.get_Attachments();
 	 CAttachment olNewAth = olAths.Add(oAttachLocation,
	 covOption,
	 covOption,
	 covOption);

	// Send the message
	olMailItem.Send();

I'll need to do some extensive testing to see which types of files are acceptable and how many attachments including images, pdf, txt, etc will go through. I've posted this painful step by step in the hope that it will help some others.

BTW Igor, I use the Microsoft Outlook type library as a wrapper for all that COM code which frankly makes me a bit dizzy whenever I see it. But thanks for your input which I always appreciate. : )
