I need to know how to attach a file to an email rather than specifying a directory folder. I think maybe I have to do that in the output variables, but I have not found a link that tells me how to do this. However, the online chat person (Tim) said: "When creating a project, you can select a template "Database to CSV to Email" which can serve as an example."
and "For more files, use a file list variable in the "Input Files Variable" field of the Attachment subtask."

To attach a file to an email, you need to utilize the "Attachment" sub-task when executing a "Send Email".
From the Project Outline, right click on the "SendEmail" task, then select "Attachment".
From the prompt, you can provide the name of the file to attach, or you can provide a variable that is the full path and name of the file to attach.
Files that have been pre-defined by a FileList variable can be attached as well.

Is it possible to attach the joblog for the current job to an email? I am wanting to send out an email should the job fail and would like to attach the log.

Yes ...
Just right click on the "SendEmail" task and choose the "Add Attachment" to the email.
For the FileName, click on the ${var} tab. In the LEFT column, you should see a system variable called "system.job.log".
Just attach that as your file name and you can email the joblog with your email ... up to that point of the email.

I am just now getting back to this but it's not working to email the joblog. I have ${system.job.logsystem.job.log} for the attachment but I get an error "Variable not found: system.job.logsystem.job.log". Any tips on what I might be doing wrong?

Nevermind! I was double clicking that value in the box so it was adding it twice. Goodness!
