Hi

I am using Thunderbird to send email via access 2007 vba. Everything is ok until I get to the email send.

In the body, the text is duplicated using text that is not in the application. I have copied my code below, I cannot spot anything that is incorrect, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in anticipation

Attachment1 = Environ("userprofile") & "\desktop\Batley Cemetery Grave Enquiry.pdf" 'Grave Enquiry

 Attachment2 = Environ("userprofile") & "\documents\bleak house\batley cemetery\pdfs\BatleyCemeteryFullplan.pdf"    'Full Graveyard Plan
'Attachment3 added in Grave Plans Section                                                                            Section Plan
 Attachment4 = Environ("userprofile") & "\documents\datafiles\batley cemetery\pdfs\batleycemeteryinfosheet.pdf"
