Need to Send a Certain amount of pictures as attachments via Email in Access 2010
i am using the following code to generate an email from my form by clicking a button
What i need it this
the txtSearchBAM value will determine what pictures to send
but that value has anywhere from 1 to 15 pictures...
All pictures are located at this address
C:\Users\Addie\Desktop\Dro
The next folder is the BAM number and then that folder contains the pictures...
how can i make this code send to how many ever pictures are in the specified folder?

oh and i do get the security alert from outlook before it gives me the error...

..."oh and i do get the security alert from outlook before it gives me the error."
This is unrelated to your main question , but I will address it here.
This is the Outlook Automation Security popup.
It can be bypassed by using a product like this:

...Or by using a product that bypassed the entire Oultook Client issue (LSM can tell you more some of these products)

I use vbMAPI from www.everythingaccess.com. It's simple and intuitive, and will take care of the security prompt.
Did you do as the error message suggested and check the Folder permissions? It looks as if you're on a Vista or Win7 box, so be very careful where you place these items. It looks as if you're attempting to "create" a file in some fashion
Check the format of your string. To do that, add this line immediately before your Attachment add line:
Debug.Print C:\Users\Addie\Desktop\Dro
This will print the fully formed string to the Immediate window. Paste that value back here.
