Outlook Email Merge with Attachment

A

Ann Campbell

I am sending out five mass emailings to clients. I'm able to setup
the email merge and message in HTML format for the body of the email;
however, I need specific pdfs to attach to the mass mailing.

This is the code that I have so far and when it runs successfuly on
the email merge template (and any email window that is open); however,
when I click email merge as the final step, the emails go out without
attachments. I've tried to save the emails in the Outbox, open the
emails and run the macro there, but the files attach to only one
email.

Sub AttachPDF()
Dim objItem
On Error Resume Next
Set objItem = Application.ActiveInspector.CurrentItem
objItem.Attachments.Add "K:\filepath\filename1.pdf"
objItem.Attachments.Add "K:\filepath\filename2.pdf"
objItem.Attachments.Add "K:\filepath\filename3.pdf"
objItem.Attachments.Add "K:\filepath\filename4.pdf"
objItem.Attachments.Add "K:\filepath\filename5.pdf"
Set objItem = Nothing
End Sub

I know very little about macros and VB in Outlook, so your patience
and guidance is greatly appreciated!!

Thanks,
Ann

Ann, probably you have to call objItem.Save in the end.

Ok, I thought that :) As mentioned, please write:
objItem.Save.
