How do I include a file attachment with a mail-merge mailing

[BobV]

I created a mail-merge job using Outlook and my Contacts list. I included a
pdf file as an attachment. The mail-merge worked as expected but the attached
file was excluded.

You can't using outlook's native tools. See

or http://www.slipstick.com/addins/mail.htm for addins to do it.

Hi Diane

I have followed the instructions according to Doug Robbins, which are fairly
straightforward, and enables the attachment to be sent, but I lose the body
of the message. In other words, I write a message and follow the instructions
to add the attachment and send the emails, but the message is deleted from
each email. They are blank - although they have the attachment. Is this the
result that I should expect, or am I doing something wrong here? Is there
something that I should be adding to the macro? At the moment I am literally
cutting and pasting it into the macro editor.

Thank you for any help.

Michele
