Attachments to direct document

[Dave]

How can I attach a document to an email and send it to another coworker...and
have that attachment directly relate to the document that I saved in our
shared folder???

Here is my situation...
I attach a document (normally word or excel) that is saved on our company's
shared folder to another individual in my office. When they open it and
enter data it will only change the attached document and not the document in
our shared folder.
How can I send them the document so that when they open it and enter data,
the saved document on the shared folder changes/updates when they save???

I am using Outlook '07 and I remember in our previous version ('03 I
beleive), when making an attachment in the Browse window you could slick the
drop down list under Insert and select a command that would allow you to
attachment the document and have it relate back to where it is saved.

If it's in a shared folder why send the document as an attachment at all?
Just send them a link to the original....

Gordon, I totally agree with you- However, my boss liked the old way and was
requesting me to figure it out. Thanks for the input though.

Also, How do I send it as a link?

Something like \\server\folder\filename
