I have been able to successfully send e-mail via Access and the SendObject
command, but I see that the objects which I can attach are only of the
Access variety. How can I use the SendObject command to attach an unrelated
file, e.g., an Excel spreadsheet or Word document from My Documents?

You can't. For that you would need to automate a third party Email program
or library like Outlook or CDO. See link below for example of that.
