Hello experts,

I have a macro that creates an email, attaches two excel files and all the pdf files in a specified folder.

The macro does not return any errors, but there are certain pdf files that don't get attached.

Those files have in the name "‐". This is not a normal hyphen. When I use the code formula, it returns 63, not 45 as expected.

If I replace the symbol when saving the file, the files are attached.

Can someone please help me with this.

Please find below my code.

Code: 
    Option Explicit

Thank you Odin,

you insights were helpful.

I was not able to solve it yet. What I could do was on our workbook, everytime we introduce information having the unrecognized character, it replaces it for a regular hyphen.

Replacing it in filenames is something I was not able to figure out so far.

I was trying this:
Code: 
    Do While Len(invoicepath) > 0
        strchr = Mid(invoicepdf, n, 1)
            If AscW(strchr) > 255 Then
            invoicepdf = Replace(invoicepdf, strchr, "-")
            End If


    invoicepdf = Dir()
    Loop

But I get an invalid procedure error on the strchr line. It probably only works in strings inside the workbook, not filenames.

If you have any other insights, I would appreciate.

If not, it was already great to understand why it was failing.
