I am using Ron De Bruin code shown below to email a range in the body of an email and it works great but in addition to emailing a range in the body I also need it to email a user selected file (most likely it would be a PDF file) along with the range in the body.

Ideal Results: The user would run the code and a browser box open and have the user navigate to a file on the server, select the file from the server, and attach the file for emailing along with the range in the body.

Is the possible? Thank you for your time and any help with this matter.
