Could anyone please help me with a problem

I am using Outlook 2000, but can switch to Outlook XP if needed.

I need to be able to automatically add an attachment, and send an email out to a distribution list at a set time each day, without any human intervention.

The attachment can be called the same thing every time, or kept in the same network folder - that isn't a hard thing to do

Does anyobdy have any ideas ?

Thanks
[2thumbsup]
 
Im not sure what kind of data you are trying to send but MS access is able to attach files and send out emails automatically, although be warned that if the file you want to attach contains ny pictures or tables then access is not the answer your looking for. Actually thats not entirely true, if you were willing to send the files using MS snapshot then it will work. Snapshot is MS version of PDF although it is not as commonly used, but it comes with access and is free to download off the MS website.
