Just to add to what Ken says, if Word is the email editor, you have an additional option: Return a Word.Document object using the Inspector.WordEditor method, then use Word methods to insert a picture. In this instance, the Word macro recorder can be your friend.

Dear newsgroup.

I am trying to insert a picture into a new email using vba code in Outlook
2003. The attachments.add method seems to add an attachment (or an icon),
but what I want is to automate the functionality of the menu command "Insert
Picture" that will display the picture inline. How can this be done using
VBA?

Thanks in advance,
Wolfgang
