E-mail Updated Word Document as Attachment

[DaveL]

After having the user populate fields on a form, I would like to allow the user to click on a button that would merge the data from the fields on the form with a Microsoft Word Template, save the updated Word document to a predetermined path and name, then open up a new e-mail (email address is one of the fields on the form) with the updated document as an attachment.

Can anybody point me in the right direction on this issue?

Thank you!

look up "Word Automation" & "Outlook Automation"

.. bit of a learning curve!

Thanks Zion7! I will start researching those topics.

Does anyone have any examples of how they have accomplished similar tasks?
