I get this error:

Line: 174
Column: -1
Source:
Description: Object doesn't support this property or method: 'AddAttachment'
Err #:
Com Err #: -2146827850
Category: Microsoft VBScript runtime

From the first .AddAttachment
[code]
                  Set cdoMessage = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
                  With cdoMessage
                        Set .Configuration = cdoConfig
'                        .To = SendTo(3, i)
                        .To = "bob.schneider@gopherstateevents.com"
'                        .BCC = "bob.schneider@gopherstateevents.com"
                        .From = "bob.schneider@gopherstateevents.com"
                        .Subject = "Line-up Confirmation: " & sMeetName
.AddAttachment = "/cc_meet/coach/read_rate.pdf"
.AddAttachment = "/cc_meet/coach/change_order.pdf"
                        .TextBody = sMsg
                        .Send
                  End With
[/code

Any help would be much appreciated!

AddAttachment is a method, not a property, so it should be used like:

.AddAttachment( "/cc_meet/coach/read_rate.pdf" )
.AddAttachment( "/cc_meet/coach/change_order.pdf" )

if you comment out the AddAttachment lines, does it work?

you may also want to try specifying the physical path:

AddAttachment( Server.MapPath( "/cc_meet/coach/read_rate.pdf" ) )
.AddAttachment( Server.MapPath( "/cc_meet/coach/change_order.pdf" ) )

I concur, you have to use the full path with addAttatchment.

How is this SMS? Did you mean email?

not that I care too much, but why was https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/28969754/SMS-AddAttachment-Protocol-Error-Classic-ASP.html#a41799107 used as part of the answer? I don't see how saying "i agree" adds any value to people looking at this answer in the future...

I guess my protocol is to reward each person who contributes to the solution. Has the scoring changed? Usually when I include multiple responders they share the points based on the number of responses they contributed. I was surprised that both individual responders received 250 point even though you were clearly more engaged in the post but I had already hit submit when I noticed that.

again, not a big deal to me, as I'm not here for points. (well, not entirely true, as long as I get enough points every month to maintain a free membership, then I stop caring about points!)

You are entirely free to close out a question however you want, but I think awarding points to someone simply because they responded vaguely to your question may rub some experts the wrong way, plus it could confuse people in the future who come across this post and wonder why it was used as part of the answer.

i haven't closed out a question for myself in awhile, but the last time I did you could adjust how many points each person got. Not sure if they changed that or not.

bottom line, as long as you got the answer you needed, I'm good :)
