Macro which automatically sends attachment to Outlook

Hi Guys, I have a macro which sends an Excel attachment to Outlook, sends it and then kills the attachment, then deletes the attachment.

I want the macro to save the attachment to the drive o:\ProductControl\DailyBS\Sep 16. How do I do this?

I got the error message "Method 'SaveAs' of object '_Workbook' failed on this part of the code.

With Destwb
        .SaveAs strFolder & Format(Date, "MMM YY") & "\" & TempFileName & FileExtStr
        .SaveAs TempFilePath & TempFileName & FileExtStr, FileFormat:=FileFormatNum
then try
MsgBox strFolder & Format(Date, "MMM YY") & "\" & TempFileName & FileExtStr
 .SaveAs strFolder & Format(Date, "MMM YY") & "\" & TempFileName & FileExtStr, FileFormat:=FileFormatNum
 .SaveAs TempFilePath & TempFileName & FileExtStr, FileFormat:=FileFormatNum

What is the result of the msgbox?

Result is "o:\ProductControl\Daily BS\Sep 16\ECB 15 Sep 2016.xlsx" in MsgBox

Then Method 'SaveAs' of object_Workbook' failed

.SaveAs strFolder & Format(Date, "MMM YY") & "\" & TempFileName & FileExtStr, FileFormat:=FileFormatNum
Does the folder already exist

I am not sure why, but I recorded a Macro and saved it to that Folder and I received the message "Errors were detected whilst saving '\\10.32.64.28\Accounts\PRODUCT CONTROL\Daily BS\ECB 15 Sep 2016.xlsm" Microsoft Excel may be able to save the file by removing or repairing some features."
I meant this folder
o:\ProductControl\Daily BS\Sep 16

Sorry, I was wrong . The path is o:\Product Control\Daily BS"
then try
 MsgBox strFolder & TempFileName & FileExtStr
  .SaveAs strFolder & TempFileName & FileExtStr, FileFormat:=FileFormatNum 
  .SaveAs TempFilePath & TempFileName & FileExtStr, FileFormat:=FileFormatNum 

Open in new window

"Run time error '1004': Method 'Save as of object_ Workbook failed"
Since the error mentioned before
I am not sure why, but I recorded a Macro and saved it to that Folder and I received the message "Errors were detected whilst saving '\\10.32.64.28\Accounts\PRODUCT CONTROL\Daily BS\ECB 15 Sep 2016.xlsm" Microsoft Excel may be able to save the file by removing or repairing some features."
