Is het ook mogelijk om een filter te zetten op de selectie van de bijlagen, zodat er alleen pdf-bestanden aan de mail kunnen worden toegevoegd?

Hi Alex de Graaf,
The code directly calls the Microsoft's file selection window. This makes it easy for VBA users to select needed files.

Hi Crystal,
Yes, I do understand that. However, is it possible to restrict users to only select pdf-files?

Hi Crystal,

Yes, I understand that. However I want the users to only be able to select pdf-files.
Is this possible?

Hi Alex de Graaf,
The following VBA code lists only the PDF files in the Browse window. Please give it a try.

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
'Updated by Extendoffice 20220714
    Dim xStrFile As String
    Dim xFilePath As String
    Dim xFileDlg As FileDialog
    Dim xFileDlgItem As Variant
    Dim xOutApp As Outlook.Application
    Dim xMailOut As Outlook.MailItem
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Set xOutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
    Set xMailOut = xOutApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
    Set xFileDlg = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
    xFileDlg.Filters.Add "PDF", "*.pdf", 1
xFileDlg.FilterIndex = 1
    If xFileDlg.Show = -1 Then
        With xMailOut
            .BodyFormat = olFormatRichText
            .To = ""
            .Subject = "test"
            .HTMLBody = "test"
            For Each xFileDlgItem In xFileDlg.SelectedItems

I have enjoyed working through this solution for adding multiple attachments to an email from within Excel VBA. Thank you. I know that a lot of us benefit and then want some aspect customized for exactly what we are trying to do. I am no different, but for step 8. Can we set the path that the Browse window will open with? I can browse over to another folder at a different location but if I could set the path that would be a time saver.

I am able to "Quickly send email with multiple attachments attached in Excel with Kutools for Excel" using your steps above, but would like to take it one step further and personalize each email by inserting their names (from a column in the Excel sheet) into the body of the email. While in the body of the email, I try selecting the field and clicking on "Insert Placeholder" but nothing happens. Any idea why or how I can fix this? Thank you!
