Default Email Mail Merge w/ Attachment Problems

Hello,

I am using the article submitted by Doug Robbins to send an email with an
attachment; however, I am running into a problem. I know I must be doing
something wrong but I can't figure out what it is. Can someone please help?

Here are the steps I've completed. I am using Microsoft 2003 for Outlook and
Word.

1. Selected Microsoft Outlook 11.0 Object Library under Tools-References.
2. Created a new Directory under Tools-Letters&Mailings-Mail Merge
3. Selected Directory as my Document Type
4. Added an Email and Attachment column from my data source (excel document)
5. Executed this to a new document
6. Saved and closed
7. Created a new Word document
8. Selected Letters under Document Type
9. Go to Complete the Merge (step 6)
10. Run the Macro
11. An open file window appears as if it wants me to select a file. I've
tried cancelling it and I've tried selecting the attachment.
12. The Enter the Subject message comes up. I enter a subject.
13. The message "a program is trying to automatically...." appears and I
select Yes. I only have this setup to send one email, however, every time I
try this it trys to send multiple documents.

It opens a new Word document than this message reappears from step 13. It
keeps cycling between a new Word document (every time the word document
number changes to the next number). I got to Document45 before ending the
program via the task manager. Nothing appears in my sent items either.

What am I doing wrong?
