Hi,

I'm trying to put piece of VBA code together to attach some PDF files in outlook and send out.

However, I sometimes work from my personal laptop and my business laptop. How can I code something like this

VBA Code:
.Attachments.Add "C:\Users\arazaq\Documents\Black\PDF Reports\Demo PDF\UK FTSE 100 Equity.pdf"

So that if I open the workbook on a another machine I would not need to to re-map the location of the PDF files to be attached. The PDF files are stored in the same folder as the workbook

Many Thanks in advance

Can you sort left to right?
To sort left-to-right, use the Sort dialog box. Click Options. Choose "Sort left to right"
You can get the path to the workbook the code is in using ThisWorkbook.Path.

just tried this and it failed

VBA Code:
.Attachments.Add "ThisWorkbook.Path.\PDF Reports\Demo PDF\UK FTSE 100 Equity.pdf"

Thanks

It would be:

Code:
.Attachments.Add ThisWorkbook.Path & "\PDF Reports\Demo PDF\UK FTSE 100 Equity.pdf"

I usually go for something like this.
VBA Code:
.Attachments.Add ThisWorkbook.Path & Application.PathSeparator & "UK FTSE 100 Equity.pdf"
