I'm getting runtime error 80040212H (errInvalidDisposition) what's wrong?

Error 80040212H (errInvalidDisposition) is most often caused by attempting to set the .Filename property to an invalid MIME value. A filename may be valid on a particular file system but not as a MIME filename parameter. Filenames containing SPACE characters are a common example.

The problem is easilly resolved by presenting the filename as a quoted string.

msg.Sections(1).Filename="test.xls" 'OK - msg.Sections(1).Filename="test 1.xls" 'Error 80040212 msg.Sections(1).Filename="""test 1.xls""" 'OK

There may also be issues if there are international characters in the filename. International characters in the filename are not strictly supported by the MIME standard - see FAQ S13E30 for more information.

Error 80040212H can, more obviously, also be caused by attempting to set the value of the .Disposition property to a value other than inline or attachment.
