Good Morning,
I would like to use the following code that I found here on Experts Exchange. I have altered some for my needs. I get a compile error if I attempt to use this as an On Click Event. I have also copied and pasted this in a module to use it as a Private Function. I am not familiar with functions and how to call them or if you can even call them from an on click event. The compile error occurs at the "DIM appoutlook as new outlook application. I am using Access 2013. I appreciate any help with this.
Private Function SendPDFReport()

With itm

.Body = "Your message"
.Attachments.Add strFileNameAndPath

'To send automatically
'.Send
End With

Exit Sub
ErrorHandler:
MsgBox "Error No: " & Err.Number & "; Description: " & Err.Description
Resume ErrorHandlerExit
End Function
What's the error message?
