want to do a certain thing, the effort requied to make it do that thing
reliably is usually expensive. If you are coding in Word all the time, and
you have to support your code every day, then you probably learn what
actually works and what does not. I am not really in that position.


I agree with you. Even if I'm an experienced programmer, I'm not in
this position, too. For the moment I will concentrate on other topics
of my Word application. Maybe I'm going to do a second try in a couple
of weeks. It would just take too much time and would make it to
expensive as I believe. As a compromise, I will tell the users, they
have to use Words dialog if they want to include/exclude recipients.

Thank you again for your time an help.

Kind regards,

Steffen
