Problems with Mail Merge with Attachments
I am trying to Mail Merge with Attachment. I followed the instructions on
http://word.mvps.org/FAQS/MailMerge/...ttachments.htm. I set up the Excel Data Source page. I have several columns (email, attachment, name, contact, notes). I use Word to create a template. I use Mail Merge to input the name and contact into the template. I complete and execute the mail merge. I run the Macro and Word starts sending out the emails with the attachments. Looks like it is going great, but here is the problem. The name/contact and actual attachment do not match up. In addition, the last email does not have any text in the email, just an attachment. It seems like all the attachments are off by one (if that makes sense). Has anyone experienced this problem or have any suggestions on how I can fix this? |

Problems with Mail Merge with Attachments
You do not mention anywhere about creating the catalog or directory type
mail merge that is required by the procedure. That catalog or directory merge must be created from the same data source as the formletter type merge that is used by the macro to obtain the text that is to appear in the body of each email message. If it is not working correctly for you, there is something that you have done that is not one hundred percent correct. There is no near enough is good enough in this situation. -- Hope this helps.
