The instructions in that article detail all of the steps that are required,
and they must all be followed. There are no shortcuts. Basically, you must create and EXECUTE to mail merges, BOTH OF WHICH MUST USE THE SAME DATA SOURCE. The first one is the catalog/directory type mail merge which is the one in the main document of which you setup the table with the mailmerge field that contains the email addresses in the first cell and, in your case as it sounds like you are sending the same file to each person, the path and filename of that file in the second cell like the second example in the article. You must execute that merge to a new document and the document produced by that merge will contain a table with a row of data for each record in the data source. In the first column will be the email addresses and in the second column of the table the path/filename of the attachment will be repeated over and over. You must then save and close that file. Below, I will refer to this as DOCUMENT A Next, you create a letter type mail merge main document using the SAME data source. This document will for the text of the email messages. When you have this document set up, you MUST EXECUTE the merge to a new document. Then with the document created by executing that merge as active document, you then run the macro. When you do that, it will display a FileOpen dialog in which you must select DOCUMENT A. After you do that, the rest of the code in the macro will run. -- Hope this helps.

I have been trying to figure out how to follow the directions given at the site: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MailMerge/...ttachments.htm I get to the part of making the table. I was able to paste and save the macro into VBA. Now I am stuck figuring out to make this mail merge with attachment work. I have a document I want to send out as the email message along with a attachment which I know the path and file name. What should I do with the table and where do I run the macro so that the document I have can be sent to the email addresses from the table along with the attachments from the attachment row of the table. I think I'm half way there. I'm just missing something. Can anyone please guide me through? I hate to quite half way. Thanks so much! |
