Automatic emailling of attachments - Outlook 2000

[Simon Ayling]

Hi

Using Word and a scheduled task, I currently email a mail merged document
from Word 2000, but the subject line gets set as one standard bit of text
for each email sent. I would like to be able to set the subject to something
more meaningful about the document attached (which, to all intents and
purposes can be regarded as a 'works order', containing a date and
customer). Ideally, I would like the date of the visit and the customer in
the email subject.

Having posted in the Word forums, the furthest I can get is to do the merge
to separate documents in separate folders, and name each of the documents
created separately. I can name each folder as the email address for each
recipient.

So, to my mind, the next step would be to have Outlook email either the
whole folder to the relevant recipient or the contents of each folder
individually - if you see what I mean - which I would like to do unattended.

Anybody have any ideas, please?

Thanks

The only way to accomplish what you want would be to write your own VBA code or buy a tool that's can set the subject for each message in a merge. See http://www.slipstick.com/addins/mail.htm#massmail for links to such tools.
