EMail a mail merge letter

I am using Access 2000 to email invoices to clients as attachments (in PDF
format). In addition I want to attach a personalised letter (Word 2000
mailmerge). The email SendTo, invoice details and mailmerge fields all come
from the same query. No problem synchronising the invoice with email, but
has anyone any ideas how to attach the correctly addressed letter

Thanks

Phil

why not just use CDOSys and skip the gimpy SendTo stuff entirely?
then you can just add a normal attachment. IIRC, Lyle posted an
example like 3 years ago.
