That is the exact code I am using. The only thing is, when I get the .ZIP and look in it, there is nothing there?!?!?

>The one thing that I've not figured out is why after doing this do I have to sign in again to actually send to message and attachment???

If you do the .SEND with 0 instead of 1, it will send the message without prompting you (You have to programatically add the TO: and CC:, etc's to the message). I have also seen that it takes a few seconds for MAPI to actually send the message. It sits in your OutBox until the program does it's next send.

Anyway, thanks for the help, but I guess I will look on MSKB for an article about sending files.
