how do you print attachments in multiple emails but with a certain page range
This comment was minimized by the moderator on the site
I tried the multiple emails option of pasting the VBA code, but when I press F5 to run it, I get a syntax error with this line highlighted:
If xItem.Class = olMail Then


Any ideas?
