How to read a Word file into outlook email body via access vba

[Baggie]

Hello all,
I have borrowed some code from thread 705-1367295 which shows how to send an email via Outlook from Access. I am having trouble with one item so far and that is where the program declares this variable:
Dim fso As FileSystemObject
I get a compile error: User-defined type not defined.

Is that something I need to set in the reference library and if so what is it?

Once I get past that I'm hoping that it works to read in an HTML body from a Word document.

If someone has a better suggestion I would welcome that as well. This is the first time I've tried to control the Outlook object
