Macro to send Outlook folder

[Mike Miller]

I have a macro (see below) I use in Outlook 2003 to automatically send some
external files via email, and it works fine. Is there a way to use a
similiar macro to send a specific Outlook folder, such as the Calendar folder?

Sub SendFiles()
Dim myItem As Outlook.MailItem
Dim myAttachments As Outlook.Attachments

Set myItem = Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)
Set myAttachments = myItem.Attachments

myItem.Recipients.Add "<email address>"
myItem.Subject = "Files"

myAttachments.Add "<path and filename, repeated for each file>"

myItem.Send

Set myItem = Nothing
Set myAttachments = Nothing

End Sub

No, that's not possible with a macro. You could, however, save all the items in the folder as .msg files and attach them to a message.

Hi Mike,

a folder isn´t a file that you could send. Instead you´d need to send
each object of the folder´s items collection.

Michael,

Is there a way to grab all of the appointments/events in the Calendar
Folder, or optionally select only those after a specified date?

Could you provide me some sample code on how to do that, or point me to a
site with such a sample?

These samples show how to save items as .msg files:

After that, it's just a matter of attaching them to an outgoing message, which you already know how to do.
