Hi Everyone

I'm having problems with my email merge - I currently use this method of
merging with attachments
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MailMerge/...ttachments.htm and I haven't
had any problems with it, however lately when I try and run the Macro its
like it gets stuck in an infinate loop and I have to terminate the program to
get it to stop.

It seems to send the first email and then it sends a second email with this
sort of garbage

And so on listing all of the email addresses in my "contacts" file. And then
it doesn't send any more emails but appears to.

I've tried recreating the macro and I'm still having problems.

Any ideas? I was thinking that maybe one (or more) of my Word settings had
changed but I've got no idea what to look for. I'm using Word 2003.

Thanks

Sam.

Are you saying that the







are not in the mailmerge data source being used for the exercise, but are
addresses from your Outlook contact list?

I don't think that I can tell without being on the spot what the problem is,
but I do know that everything has to be EXACT for it to work properly.
Unfortunately, it is probably a case of "overlooking the obvious", though
some recent update to your system may be causing it. Can you restore your
system to a point at which it last worked and try it?

Hope this helps.

Hi Doug

I can't do anything with my system its a work computer so its completely
locked down.

Those email address are in my data source but instead of sending them my
email with the attachment the 2nd email address in the source is sent an
email listing all the remaining contacts and the directory where the
attachment is. I put an example of how the email looks in my first post. Its
weird because the first email sends fine.

Sam.
