How to email an attachment using email merge

[Guest]

Issue To Resolve: Send an unchanging pdf attachment during an email merge.

Objective: The email body text will contain text using merge codes and data.
Attached to the email would be a pdf.

Comments: I cannot find any free resource that allows me to send an email
merge with an attachment. Other than paying a service, can this be done
within MS Outlook?

Thanks for any assistance!

Using Outlook alone, the only solution woul be to write your own VBA code to create the messages, add recipients and attachments, then send them.

No, this is not a default (Word/Outlook) feature.

Sue,

Do you have the VBA code you mention or know where I can see an example so
that I can write my own VBA code to accomplish this?

Thanks!

Hmmm. Apparently you are correct - but not at all complete. To a question
by jemimaj13 (copied here for reference), which seemed to be almost the same
question I posted, you made a an excellent, complete reply (and the product
does indeed work as advertised)

You can only do that with an add-in like

I'm trying to send an email merge which contains an attachment of a word and
a pdf document, however although the attachment appears to be there when I
compose it, the recipients are not receiving it at their end. The merge
itself works fine.
