Macro to automate attaching specific file to a new email

I always have to attach specific files to multiple emails I send each day.  I'd like a macro that I can run after I draft a new email which attaches the following files:

Attach the file: J:\Portfolio\_Reporting & Operations\Cash Flow Sheets\Morning Cash Recon.xlsx

Thank you.

Hi,
pls try 
Sub InsertAttachments1()
    Dim myAttachments As Outlook.Attachments

    Dim NewMail As MailItem, oInspector As Inspector
    Set oInspector = Application.ActiveInspector
    If oInspector Is Nothing Then
        MsgBox "No active inspector"
    Else
        Set NewMail = oInspector.CurrentItem
        If NewMail.Sent Then
            MsgBox "This is not an editable email"
        Else
            Set myAttachments = NewMail.Attachments
            myAttachments.Add "J:\Portfolio\_Reporting & Operations\Cash Flow Sheets\Morning Cash Recon.xlsx"
        End If
    End If
End Sub

Open in new window

You can do that without macros. The free Add Attachments utility can add files from specified folder in one click on Outlook ribbon.
