email tool error when trying to attach an excel file

Hi all,

 

I'm trying to send an email with an attachment but get the below error from the Email tool.  I have made sure that the output Data tool is configured properly with my formula tool creating an 'xslx' file and have confirmed that the files are indeed in the folder.  I've read a few discussions on this before but I'm not finding a solution just yet.

@sammyb84 of course! 

 

You could also do both options within a workflow. You could use the temp option for the attachment that goes out via email and use a regular output / render tool to save the file locally.
