Word & Access email merge without Outlook
Am creating emails in Word mailmerge based on contacts from Access. How do I
stop Outlook from doing Check Names after clicking on Word's Merge to E-Mail? I am not very familiar with Outlook but do not want to have to add hundreds of contacts into it, one at a time. -- Michael S |

Although I have come across this problem before, I never knew exactly what
caused it, and it no longer occurs here. As a temporary workaround you should be able to import, but avoid "one at a time" using Outlook|File|Import and Export...|Import from another program or file|Microsoft Access etc. You get an opportunity to "map" your field names to the appropriate Outllok fields, If you need to get rid of these contacts later, you could try a. importing them into a new contact folder (don't know if this would solve the problem) b. map a field from Access in such a way that it is very easy to identify which contacts you imported, create a view in Outlook that allows you to select only those items, etc. Peter Jamieson "Michael S" wrote in message ...

Word & email merge with Excel Database
We are trying to merge to e-mail with Excel but it doesn't actually send the
e-mails. I've tried Plain Text, HTML, etc., but nothing makes a difference. I have tried to use contacts from Outlook, but it doesn't work. I have a feeling that there is a set-up step that I'm missing - something that tells Word who our e-mail provider is, etc. I set up a Hotmail account, but still cannot get this to work. Any help you can provide would be GREAT! Teri G. "Peter Jamieson" wrote: Although I have come across this problem before, I never knew exactly what caused it, and it no longer occurs here.
