When sending an email message the paperclip button opens the "Insert File" dialog box. I want to write my own code to do that.
I found the "Insertfile method" which will automatically insert a file. However I want to be able to pick a file every time from a file list.
What I really want is to be able make a few different insert file buttons. Each one will always go to a certain folder. The built in button (the paperclip) always goes to to last used folder. I do a lot of attaching, and I am sick of the extensive folder tree hunts I have to do to attach files.
I use Word as me email editor.
I thought I had a simple solution, but it does not work:
Sub Attach1()
ChangeFileOpenDirectory _
"C:\Documents and Settings\tsuser\MyDocuments\Invoices\"
SendKeys "%IL", True
'The above line should send Alt+I, wich opens the insert menu, and
'then the L selects the "file..." menu item.
End Sub
When I run that macro the "Mark Citation" box opens.
However when I manualy type Alt+I, L the proper dialog box opens.
Stupid mistake. The I and the L need to be lower case. I don't use sendkeys much. Now I know.
