Hi,
i have a code that prints a range as a jpg, opens outlook and puts it in.
What i need it to do is name itself as the filename to which it is created in.
Example:
c/data/excel/1234 myclient.xls ( file it is to be created in)
i would like it to name itself 1234 myclient.jpg

it doesnt save anywhere, only as an attachement but it needs a name. i can
alter the code and give it a standard name like Quote.jpg but when you send
alot to the same person and they save the attachment, they all have the same
name so this is why i need the change. Can this be acheived?

REgards,

Nigel

If you don't save it, you can't name it, as that is how it gets its name.

Hi Bob,

save it in order to give it a name?

Nigel,

The attachment is a file on the disk, so youn could rename that just prior
to attaching, then rename back.

Something like

oldFile = "C:\Documents And Settings\Nigel\My Documents\myFile.xls"
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
NewFile = Left(oldFile, Len (oldFile-3))
Name OldFile as Newfile
' do you Outlook stuff
Name NewFile as oldFile
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
