Hi Murtaza,

From my research, when we open one excel workbook by this way in Office 2000. One temporary Ecxel workbook will be created for the mail. Even
we put one workbook in the XLSTART folder. In this scenario, our excel workbook will not be used.

So my suggestion is: you can create one COM add-in for delivering the mail with your specified Excel workbook or write Macro in outlook for this. Two
KB articles will introduce these for you.

Though this kb article demonstrate how to mail the workbook in Excel, you can also use them in Outlook.

Please feel free to let me know if you have any further questions.
