Include a message in e-mails with attachments?
I have successfully used Doug Robbin's "Merging with Attachments" procedure
and macro to sent multiple attachments using mail-merge. (Thank you, Doug!) Is there a way to include an actual message in the body of the e-mail? I'd like to include a simple description of the attachments and some basic instructions (e.g., If possible, please print CDOrder on green, blue, or lavender paper.) as an e-mail message. I am using Office 2003. |

Include a message in e-mails with attachments?
In the procedure to which you refer, the document (i.e. message) for each
record that is produced by executing the merge becomes the body of the email message to which the attachments are attached. -- Hope this helps.

Include a message in e-mails with attachments?
Doug,
Thanks for your prompt reply. I had not understood the paragraph that describes this process so had missed what I was supposed to do there. I'm familiar with basic merges, but not so much with this terminology (execute to a new document, etc.). I went back, reread the instructions, and managed to muddle through it. Again, thanks for taking the time to write the macro and document the procedure. I'm not comfortable with the process just yet but I now know that I can do what needs to be done. BTW, this is actually a better solution for me than trying to merge several PDFs into one. I am generating some attachments as individual PDFs from mail merge (thanks for that, BTW) and some as individual PDFs from Access. I used Access to generate the data file used to create the catalogue/directory document.
