Visual Basic Shell command works great for one attachment

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\OUTLOOK.EXE /a
s:\test\test-coverletter.pdf"

but I am trying to send more than one attachment into shell

ex: s:\test\test-coverletter.pdf s:\test\test-sealed.pdf
s:\test\test-tpp.pdf are 3 files I have verified that exist on system and
user wants to send via e-mail from within VB program shelling to Outlook.

I have tried several variations on shell command line but cannot seem to
find the correct solution. Any Help would be appreciated.

Thanks Ted
 
Use the Outlook Object Model instead or compress the files first into a
single zip-file.
 
Great Idea. Thanks.

Fine. But what it one wants to specify a recipient on the command
line also. It seems that the /a option for attachments and the /m
option for specifying a recipient email address are not allowed to be
used together. Any idea why?
