[Jules]

Hi VBA to send Word document to Outlook 2007 and prior without opening
Outlook. Code I have still wants to open Outlook before it sends it from
Outbox?

Option Explicit
Sub SendDocumentAsAttachment()

Dim bStarted As Boolean
Dim oOutlookApp As Outlook.Application
Dim oItem As Outlook.MailItem

On Error Resume Next

If Len(ActiveDocument.Path) = 0 Then
MsgBox "Document needs to be saved first"
Exit Sub
End If

Set oOutlookApp = GetObject(, "Outlook.Application")
If Err <> 0 Then
Set oOutlookApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
bStarted = True
End If

Set oItem = oOutlookApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)

With oItem
.To = "(e-mail address removed)"
.Subject = "New subject"
'Add the document as an attachment, you can use the .displayname
property
'to set the description that's used in the message
.Attachments.Add Source:=ActiveDocument.FullName, Type:=olByValue, _
DisplayName:="Document as attachment"
.Send
End With

If bStarted Then
oOutlookApp.Quit
End If

Set oItem = Nothing
Set oOutlookApp = Nothing

End Sub
