    Access e-mailing a report with pdf file as attachment

    Since installing windows 10 64 bit and Office 365 2016 version I've noticed that when I want to
    e-mail a report in PDF format the report isn't attached to the e-mail using


    outlook 2016, however a pc running the same access application on win 7 and
    office 2013 does it correctly am I missing an add in there are none in the add
    in section of access

    I am not finding that command. Is it a custom function? Post your code.

    Okay, I don't use macros so didn't think to look there.

    You might try VBA DoCmd.SendObject method and see if that works better.
