Thank you Eric and Sue for the solution.

I have used a slightly different one:

For i = myattachments.Count To 1 Step -1

If Left(myattachments(i).Filename, 7) "Situaci" Then
myattachments(i).Delete

Next i

The other way is with a countdown loop:

count = myattachments.Count
For i = count to 1 Step -1
Set attach = myattachments.Item(i)
attach.Delete
Next

I have found some code that solves my needs:

While myattachments.Count 1
For Each attach In myattachments
If Left(attach.Filename, 4) "Situ" Then attach.Delete
Next attach
Wend

Apparently the attach.delete affects the attachment index.

The iteration above with the while .count1 works.

Is there a more direct way to do it?

Thanks,

Antonio

the following code is called from whithin an Excel VBA module.

It works fine but it leaves an attachment that should not be left, its name
does not start by "Situ".

The attachment that is left is a workbook .xls that I click on and then run
the excel macro.

How can I get rid of this unwanted attachment?

When I loop through it in the For each attach it does not go through it, as
if it did not exist.

Dim myolApp As Outlook.Application
Dim myinspector As Outlook.Inspector
Dim myItem As Outlook.MailItem
Dim myattachments As Outlook.Attachments
Dim attach As Outlook.Attachment

Set myolApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set myinspector = myolApp.ActiveInspector

If Not TypeName(myinspector) = "Nothing" Then
Set myItem = myinspector.CurrentItem.Forward
Set myattachments = myItem.Attachments

For Each attach In myattachments
If Left(attach.Filename, 4) "Situ" Then attach.Delete
Next attach

With myItem

.To = "
.Subject = "test"
.BodyFormat = olFormatHTML

.HTMLBody = "HTMLBODYSaludos cordiales. br/brBbrb
AntoniobrN/b/br/BODY/HTML"

.Display

End With

Else
MsgBox "There is no active inspector."
End If
