Variable Attachments in CDO/OL2K7?

Greetings, geniuses.

I have a standard CDO send sub that works just dandy, except for one

small detail.

For each email there will be a variable amount of attachments -

anywhere from 1 to maybe 15 tops.

In the .With statement, I have this (all required statements beforehand

are present. I'm just omitting them here for space's sake.):

Code:

------------------
'looped for each email sent

With iMsg

Set .Configuration = iConf

> To = EML 'email address from database

> CC = ""

> BCC = ""

> From = "Me@MyMailbox.com"

> Subject = Subj 'defined in the db

> TextBody = strbody 'defined in the db

> AddAttachment (Atch1) 'AHA!! Here's the rub!!

> Send

End With

[\code]

How may I:

a) Loop around the .AddAttachment statement to add the required attachments, or

b) define a variable that would contain the necessary attachment values (Atch1), and have the statement needed only once, and

c) which is best or does it matter?

I've seen solutions for non-CDO programs and earlier OL versions but I'm wary since what I'm doing is different, and spending 2 or 3 hours trying to force something that won't work anyway is demoralizing.

Please ask for whatever additional and needed items I have mindlessly omitted, and thanks in advance!!!

Whereever you get the filenames of the attachments from, loop through it,

for instance with:

for i=1 to count

next

The variable is cleared, or overwritten respectively, automatically as soon

as you write the next file name into it. However, atch1="" will also do it.

Alrighty, then . . .

I'd tried that, but it still 'stacked up' the attachments; then I

noticed that I had only one CDO session opened, and was looping through

the records within that one session. Evidently the session was

remembering the attachments and sending them as they piled up.

What I finally did (using the 'Atch="" ' command) was to loop through

the records, opening and then closing a CDO session for each email. It

still went just as fast, so evidently that's acceptable.

Thanks and best regards!
