Do you want the user to pick a folder, or one or more individual files? If files then Application.GetOpenFilename is what you need to look at.

    Set olApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")

    Dim olMail As Outlook.MailItem

    Set olMail = olApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)

    Dim lngCount As Long



    olMail.To = "email@email.com"

    olMail.Subject = "Subject Line"

    olMail.Body = "Body of the Email"





    ' Open the file dialog

    With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogOpen)

        .AllowMultiSelect = True

        .Show



        ' Display paths of each file selected

        For lngCount = 1 To .SelectedItems.Count

            attFilePath = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogOpen).SelectedItems(lngCount)

            olMail.Attachments.Add (attFilePath)
