Attachment Object

  • Article
Publisher Developer Reference

Represents an attachment to a merged e-mail message.

Version Information
 Version Added:  Publisher 2007

Remarks

An Attachment object corresponds to one of the attachments in the list of attachments in the Attachments box in the Merge to E-mail dialog box in the Microsoft Office Publisher user interface. (On the File menu, point to Send E-mail, click Send E-mail Merge, and then click Options.)

To remove the attachment from the merged e-mail, use the Delete method of the Attachment object.

Example

The following Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) macro shows how to use the Add method to add an attachment to an e-mail merge message. It adds an Attachment object that represents a bitmap image to the Attachments collection of the active document.

Before running this macro, place a file named image.bmp in the root of the C drive on your computer, or change the name and file path of the file in the macro to specify the one you want to attach.

Note that to send an e-mail merge message, you must connect to a data source, create the e-mail merge, and then send the message. For more information, see the EmailMergeEnvelope object topic.
