Mailmerge object extending

[tf]

Hello,

with aVBA mailmerge object,
I want to send with each mail the same body.

Since it can't be done directly, how to use the main merge document
(I have only one *.doc)
to add another field in which I insert the "body" message
BUT with giving only this field in the body (plain text)
and all the other fiels in an attached file ?

Thank you

For Each afield In ActiveDocument.MailMerge.DataSource.DataFields
Selection.WholeStory
With ActiveDocument.MailMerge
.Destination = wdSendToEmail
.SuppressBlankLines = True
.MailSubject = "My subject is _____"
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//////////////////////
// Insertion ici du .Body de l'objet Outlook ??

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
////////////////////////

With .DataSource
.FirstRecord = ActiveDocument.MailMerge.DataSource.ActiveRecord
.LastRecord = ActiveDocument.MailMerge.DataSource.ActiveRecord


End With
.Execute Pause:=False
End With

ActiveDocument.MailMerge.DataSource.ActiveRecord = wdNextRecord
Next afield

Hi TF,

AFAIK you cannot do that, at least not that way. You should be able to do
something with the information in the article "Mail Merge to E-mail with
Attachments" at

http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/MailMerge/MergeWithAttachments.htm

You would need to save each of the documents created by the mailmerge as a
separate file so that it could be attached to a message in which the text
did not change.

Here's a method that I have used that involves creating a separate
catalog type mailmerge maindocument which creates a word document containing
a table in each row of which would be your data from the database that you
want to use as the filename.

You first execute that mailmerge, then save that file and close it. Then
execute the mailmerge that you want to create the separate files from and
with the
result of that on the screen, run a macro containing the following code
and when the File open dialog appears, select the file containing the table
created by the first mailmerge

Dim Source As Document, oblist As Document, DocName As Range, DocumentName
As String
Set Source = ActiveDocument
With Dialogs(wdDialogFileOpen)
.Show
End With
Set oblist = ActiveDocument
Counter = 1
While Counter < oblist.Tables(1).Rows.Count
Set DocName = oblist.Tables(1).Cell(Counter, 1).Range
DocName.End = DocName.End - 1

'Change the path in the following command to suit where you want to save
the documents.
DocumentName = "I:\WorkArea\Documentum\" & DocName.Text
Source.Sections.First.Range.Cut
Documents.Add
Selection.Paste
ActiveDocument.SaveAs filename:=DocumentName, FileFormat:= _
wdFormatDocument, LockComments:=False, Password:="",
AddToRecentFiles:= _
True, WritePassword:="", ReadOnlyRecommended:=False,
EmbedTrueTypeFonts:= _
False, SaveNativePictureFormat:=False, SaveFormsData:=False, _
SaveAsAOCELetter:=False
ActiveWindow.Close
Counter = Counter + 1
Wend
