Attachment file size checker

Hi,

I'm trying to find a way to display a warning box when users attempt to

send attachments above a certain size. I have found some VBA code to

achieve this from here:

http://www.vboffice.net/en/developers/check-email-size-before-sending

I can't, however, get it to work, I think this is because we are using

Outlook 2002 (SP3) and this code is incompatible with that version.

After some testing I've found that the line of code:

lSize = oMail.Size

always returns a value of zero. Can anyone point me in the right direction

to amend this code so it works how I want it to. I've not programmed in VB

for years so apologies in advance if this is obvious.

Thanks, Jason
 
Call oMail.save first, then you can retrieve the Size property.

Best regards

Michael Bauer
