I am in the process of setting up a mail merge for my boss(data from excel, through word then send from Outlook). I am using the code below to try and include an attachment to the email. I am getting an error (invalid use of ME keyword). Any idea how to fix this? Thanks!!
Private Sub emailmergewithattachments()
Dim Source As Document, Maillist As Document, TempDoc As Document
Dim Datarange As Range
Dim i As Long, j As Long
Dim bStarted As Boolean
Dim oOutlookApp As Object 'Outlook.Application
Dim oItem As Object 'Outlook.MailItem
Dim objOutlookAttach1 As String
Dim mysubject As String, message As String, title As String
Set Source = ActiveDocument
' Check if Outlook is running. If it is not, start Outlook
On Error Resume Next
Set oOutlookApp = GetObject(, "Outlook.Application")
If Err <> 0 Then
Set oOutlookApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
bStarted = True
objOutlookAttach1 = "Y:\Meradia Documents\Marketing\Press Release\Timothy J. Rodgers" & "SDOC" & Me.AppFileName & ".doc"
If Len(objOutlookAttach1) <> 0 Then
objOutlookMsg.Attachments.Add (objOutlookAttach1)
End If
' Open the catalog mailmerge document
With Dialogs(wdDialogFileOpen)
.Show
End With
Set Maillist = ActiveDocument
' Show an input box asking the user for the subject to be inserted into the email messages
message = "Enter the subject to be used for each email message." ' Set prompt.
title = " Email Subject Input" ' Set title.
' Display message, title
mysubject = InputBox(message, title)
' Iterate through the Sections of the Source document and the rows of the catalog mailmerge document,
' extracting the information to be included in each email.
For j = 1 To Source.Sections.Count - 1
Set oItem = oOutlookApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
With oItem
.Subject = mysubject
.Body = Source.Sections(j).Range.Text
Set Datarange = Maillist.Tables(1).Cell(j, 1).Range
Datarange.End = Datarange.End - 1
.To = Datarange
For i = 2 To Maillist.Tables(1).Columns.Count
Set Datarange = Maillist.Tables(1).Cell(j, i).Range
Datarange.End = Datarange.End - 1
.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
