Have you looked at the MailItem.Attachments.Add method? That's what you use to attach a file programmatically.

I am trying to write a subroutine that automatically attaches a files of
varying type (.zip, .xls, ...) from varying locations (C:\My Documents, C:\My
Pictures, ...) to some Outlook forms that I've created. I think this would
be best accomplished with a command button on the compose page of the form.
I'm also pretty sure that this would require a message field in the form to
work properly. Any ideas?
