Add attachment with varying date in file name to Outlook mail - excel

Question

I have an Excel file named "Home Audio for Planning (28-3-2013).
The date will change every day but the text will be the same.
How do I attach those files to Outlook?
Sub Test()
Dim OutApp As Object
Dim OutMail As Object
Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)
With OutMail
.To = ""
.CC = ""
.BCC = ""
.Subject = "This is the Subject line"
.Body = "Hello World!"
.Attachments.Add ("C:\Users\Desktop\Today\Home Audio for Planning (28-3-2013).xlsx")
.Display
End With
On Error GoTo 0
Set OutMail = Nothing
Set OutApp = Nothing
With Application
.ScreenUpdating = True
.EnableEvents = True
End With
End Sub

Answer 1

Try below code : strLocation will be generated dynamically. You can just pass this variable to your attachments. File name generated would be like Home Audio for Planning_28-03-2013.xlsx
Sub Test()
Dim strLocation As String
Dim OutApp As Object
Dim OutMail As Object
Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)
With OutMail
.To = ""
.CC = ""
.BCC = ""
.Subject = "This is the Subject line"
.Body = "Hello World!"
strLocation = "C:\Users\Desktop\Today\Home Audio for Planning" & Format(Now(), "_DD-MM-YYYY") & ".xlsx"
.Attachments.Add (strLocation)
.Display
End With
On Error GoTo 0
Set OutMail = Nothing
Set OutApp = Nothing
With Application
.ScreenUpdating = True
.EnableEvents = True
End With
End Sub

Answer 2

Easy,
.Attachments.Add ("C:\Users\Desktop\Today\Home Audio for Planning (" & FORMAT(DATE,DD-MM-YYYY)")

Answer 3

Did you try to change the attachemnt name dynamic. For ex;
.Attachments.Add ("C:\Users\Desktop\Today\Home Audio for Planning (" + timeVariable + ").xlsx")
and you can set the time variable before to match the date of the date in the required format.
Cheers

Private Sub Application_ItemSend(ByVal Item As Object, Cancel As Boolean)
Dim strSubject As String
Dim StrSub As Integer
Dim AttachCnt As Integer
AttachCnt = Item.Attachments.Count
strSubject = Item.Subject
StrSub = Len(strSubject)
strBody = Item.Body
strBod = InStr(1, UCase(strBody), "ATTACH")
cnsolidateMsg = ""
If strBod <> 0 And AttachCnt = 0 Then
cnsolidateMsg = cnsolidateMsg & "Attachment is Null." & vbNewLine
End If
If StrSub = 0 Then
cnsolidateMsg = cnsolidateMsg & "Subject is Empty." & vbNewLine
End If
If UCase(Trim(strSubject)) = "FW:" Then
cnsolidateMsg = cnsolidateMsg & "Forward mail subject is empty." & vbNewLine
End If
If UCase(Trim(strSubject)) = "RE:" Then
cnsolidateMsg = cnsolidateMsg & "Reply mail subject is empty." & vbNewLine
End If
If cnsolidateMsg <> Empty Then
If MsgBox(cnsolidateMsg & vbNewLine & "Are you sure you want to send the Mail?", vbYesNo + vbQuestion + vbMsgBoxSetForeground, "Check for send mail") = vbNo Then
Cancel = True
End If
End If
End Sub
