I then just follow it up with a
Press CTRL
press Enter
Release CTRL
and it goes out w/o any problems

I've found that by altering the VB code that was in the examples I was able to add an attachment and send out many reports with speed improvements so impressive I need to learn more VB scripting.
I'm thinking about using the Windows 2000 scripting guide. Does anyone have any feedback on the best way to learn VB scripting?
