That's what a merge to e-mail does? Merged attachments are a lot more
trouble to create.

I've been trying to send a confirmation notices. I merge a file from
Access to word, then want to send in the body of the email the
confirmation. I don't want to send as attachment. I'm finding
several people can't open the attachment. So then I have to cut and
paste.

Any help would be greately appreciated.

Well, the way Word sends emails when it does a merge is different
from the way the "merge with attachments" does it. Merge with
attachments basically uses the Outlook Object model via automation,
whereas I suspect (but do not know for sure) that Word mailmerge
uses MAPI rather than the Outlook object model. It's difficult to
know with applications where the source code is not available.
However, I am pretty sure that when you used the Outlook object
model in Office 2003, you needed ClickYes even for the merge with
attachments, as Doug's page suggests.

AIUI Outlook is supposed to "protect itself" whichever route you
take, and I think most implementations that work around that use the
Outlook Redemption library or something like it. I'd have thought
ClickYes intercepts the Windows messages that display the security
dialog and inject the appropriate keystroke messages so it wasn't
completely clear why the non-Pro version would /not/ work with
Office 2007 unless the authors had deliberately disabled that
facility.

It's also possible that I have some leftover MAPILabs stuff that
means Outlook object access is smoother, but I don't think I have.

How very odd. The messages do pop up when you merge to email as
plain text but not as html, and ClickYes does suppress them in
Outlook 2007.
The MAPILabs Toolkit suppresses the messages whichever format you
select. It also allows you to pick which e-mail account you want to
send the messages from

You're right, the merge with attachment procedure doesn't need it
- I assume that the way that the Outlook object model behaves was
changed.

(You still get the dialogs when doing direct merge to emails to
Outlook that use plain text or attachment, though not HTML, as with
2003. The MAPILabs toolkit may well alter that behaviour).

Is it even necessary with Office 2007? I have not seen the prompt
for some time - I do however have MAPILabs Outlook mailmerge
toolkit installed (which incidentally should overcome the OP's
problem also - though it is not a no cost addition) which may
affect the outcome?

Does the non-Pro version of Express Click Yes actually work with
Outlook
2007 (the product info. page suggests that it does not) ?

Hello,

I have tried to follow the steps mentioned by you, in the link
below, verbattim:
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MailMerge/...ttachments.htm

But, still I am quite UNABLE to send the "mail merge with
attachment" successfully (tried both with 1 attachment & 2
attachment) . I am not getting any error BUT the VB script
continues to show the output as:
"0
messages sent" & there is no activity in my Outlook 2007
mailbox. Please Note: [I have tried the basic mail merge
without the attachment with
MS Word 2007, and it works just fine with Outlook 2007.]

I have a requirement to send 2 attachments to my recepients.
Have done the following:

1) Created the VB scriot and assigned it as a macro in Word 2007
2) Downloaded and installed the utility - Express Click Yes 1.2
3) Used the same data source for email addresses, attachments
and other contact details.
4) Attached is the Word 07 document created - with the MACRO
along with it.
5) Matched the diredtory path of the attachment, and tested it
too to ensure
its correct.

Will really appreciate any help extended.

Many Thanks,
Abhishek.
