Good Day all:

I'm currently working the the de'facto mail-merge VBA from http://word.mvps.org/faqs/mailmerge/mergewithattachments.htm

However, the code is failing and I'm at a complete loss as to why (my fear is because I'm in Office 2010).

Full code is below, but the line that is failing is:

For j = 1 To Source.Sections.Count - 1

When I place a watch on "Source" it's showing the proper document location which contains my e-mail and attachment file (redacted the e-mails)

Edit(my columns aren't showing up, this is a two row, two column table, with e-mail in the left column, and the image address in the right), 1 e-mail/image per row.
(e-mail address removed)
H:\My Documents\My Pictures\caduceus-8.png
(e-mail address removed)
H:\My Documents\My Pictures\caduceus-8.png

However, Source.Sections.Count is returning a value of 1. Which means the loop effecitvely says, For J = 1 to 0, and it skips the section.

Is there something I'm issing either in my table or because it's 2010?

I really appreciate your assistance!!

.Attachments.Add Trim(Datarange.Text), olByValue, 1
Next i
.Send
End With
Set oItem = Nothing
Next j
Maillist.Close wdDoNotSaveChanges
' Close Outlook if it was started by this macro.
If bStarted Then
oOutlookApp.Quit
End If
MsgBox Source.Sections.Count - 1 & " messages have been sent."
'Clean up
Set oOutlookApp = Nothing
End Sub

The issue was I had to do a mail-merge in the Word Document first (so that I have all the different page sections)! Duh. Sorry for the hassle!
