Snirhe,

How do you create mailmerge in Outlook? And do you want to send the same attachement to everybody, or a different?

I select few contacts and choose tools>Mail Merge...

There I choose merge to E-mail.

I want to send the same attachment to everybody, but if it is possible, maybe in the future I would like to send different attachments.

Thanks

You would have to alter the mailmerge 'code'.

The mailmerge is likely a VBA application or 'macro' and you would have to upgrade it to include your new needs. Beginning programmer skills required so don't feel bad if this is all gibberish at first.
