Does anyone know if it is possible to email an attachment which is not one of the available Object Type formats of the SendObject action (.xls, .rtf, .html etc) using the SendObject action. I am talking about using the SendObject action to automatically email a non-MS Access object such as a .pdf file in a certain directory, from within VBA from Access... thanks
 
No. SendObject is designed to send only Access objects or no object at
all.

You might want to investigate using Automation with Outlook. There is
sample code at the following links that can get you started:
