Add attachment to outlook mail merge

To add an attachment to an Outlook mail merge, you'll need to use a combination of VBA code and the Outlook Object Model. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you achieve this:

Prerequisites:

1. You have Outlook 2010 or later version installed.
2. You have a mail merge template set up in Microsoft Word.
3. You have the Outlook Object Model reference added to your VBA project.

Step 1: Create a new Outlook VBA project

1. Open Outlook and press Alt + F11 to open the Visual Basic Editor.
2. In the Editor, click Insert > Module to create a new module.
3. Name the module, for example, "MailMergeAttachments".

Step 2: Set up the mail merge

1. In your Word document, go to the Mailings tab > Finish & Merge > Edit Recipient List.
2. In the Edit Recipient List dialog box, select the recipients you want to send the email to.
3. Click OK to close the dialog box.

Step 3: Add the attachment

1. In the VBA Editor, add the following code to the module you created:

   Sub AddAttachmentToMailMerge()
    Dim olApp As New Outlook.Application
    Dim olMail As Outlook.MailItem
    Dim wdDoc As Word.Document
    Dim wdMailMerge As Word.MailMerge
    Dim strAttachment As String
   
    ' Set the attachment file path and name
    strAttachment = "C:\Path\To\Your\Attachment.pdf"
   
    ' Set the Word document object
    Set wdDoc = ActiveDocument
   
    ' Set the mail merge object
    Set wdMailMerge = wdDoc.MailMerge
   
    ' Create a new Outlook mail item
    Set olMail = olApp.CreateItem(0)
   
    ' Set the mail item's subject and body
    olMail.Subject = "Test Mail Merge with Attachment"
    olMail.Body = "This is a test mail merge with an attachment."
   
    ' Add the attachment to the mail item
    olMail.Attachments.Add strAttachment
   
    ' Send the mail item
    olMail.Send
   
    ' Clean up
    Set olMail = Nothing
    Set wdMailMerge = Nothing
    Set wdDoc = Nothing
    Set olApp = Nothing
   End Sub

   Step 4: Run the VBA code

2. In the VBA Editor, click Run > Run Sub/User Form to execute the AddAttachmentToMailMerge subroutine.

3. The code will create a new Outlook mail item, add the attachment, and send the email to the recipients specified in your Word document.

Tips and Variations:

• You can modify the strAttachment variable to point to a different file path and name.
• You can add multiple attachments by using a loop to iterate through an array of file paths and names.
• You can customize the mail item's subject, body, and other properties as needed.
• You can use this code as a starting point and modify it to fit your specific requirements.
