Shuli,

The property you're looking for is "Attachments.add()". The code I use is

OleMessage.attachments.add(cFile,1)

where "OleMessage" is the outlook object, cFile is my file name including path. Somebody smarter will know what the final '1' does - I remember it was required, but I don't remember WHY.

Are you sending reports as ASCII files or as print-to-file which includes printer codes? The former gives a "DOSy" report with no formatting, and the latter means the file can only be printed on a matching printer. You might consider putting the data into an EXCEL file or a WORD document, also with OLE Automation. The person getting the file will then be able to look at it, change it or print it in any format.
