Hi,

 

Is it possible to send an email with multiple attachments using MS outlook. (Using activex)

No idea regarding ActiveX but why don't you use the built in send Email functions?  In 2013 there were several updates to the SMTP VIs but in older versions they existed in the Find Examples too.  There you can attach multiple files.

That' "requirement" sounds like it was written by someone who is trying to drive the design of the application.  Without knowing your personal situation it's hard for me to say, but if I had to guess I would say the real requirement is to send an email with multiple attachements, and the person giving that requirement thought sending it through Outlook would be the best way.  You should get clairification on what the real intend of that requirement is.

If you use the built-in functions and the mail server that you specify is outlook, then you'll be using outlook and won't need the silly invoke nodes and complicated ActiveX.
