I am not a computer professional and many people who are not computer
professionals have successfully achieved what they are after by reading that
article. As a computer professional familiar with the abbreviation for the
Visual Basic Editor, one would expect that you would know what it was and
how to access it.

If you read the article you will see that is says "to create a separate
Catalogue (or in Word 2002 and later, Directory) type mail merge main
document", not just "create a separate Catalog" and then goes on to detail
how that main document should be set up.

If that is all foreign to you RTFM.

Doug, That link leads to one of the most un-well-written explanations I
ever
saw.

"set a reference to the Microsoft Office Outlook Object Library from
within
the Visual Basic Editor" but with no explanation of hot to get into VBE

"create a separate Catalogue" - what is a catalogue?

I really need to do what is explained in that document, but i can't
unerstand word one, and I am a computer professional. Can you lead me to
something more specific, on how to merge an email so that the merged
document
goes to the specific email address within the database file along with a
specific attached file for that specific email address.

Thansk!

Use a modification of the method in the article "Mail Merge to E-mail

You won't need the attachments in the catalog or directory type merge
document, and comment out the lines to do with attachments in the macro.

I am trying to email a mail merged document to 130 different contacts.
How
do I go about doing this? I want to be sure that each contact only
receives
their letter with their info in it and not the other contacts' info.
Please
help.
