I have been searching the forums about how to send an email using a mail merge Word document with attachments and have not found a way to accomplish this. There are numerous posts on haw to send email using the SendObject function with attachments but I really need to use a Word mail merge to satisfy the requirements set forth by my superiors.
The database uses a query to pull the list of recipients. The query contains the name, email address and a few other informational items that need to be put in mail merge. I also need to attach a second 5 page Word document. At this point, I don’t care if I have to deal with the Outlook security or not, I only have about 20 a day to send but if there is a way to get around it, that would be cool.
Would it be possible to create a Report that looks the same as the mail merge document and send it to each of the recipients from the query and attach the document to that email?
I am running up against a deadline that is fast approaching and any help would be greatly appreciated.
