QUESTION!! Can you send mail merges through windows mail? Cant think of why
else my mail merge would send on other computers but not my personal one?
ALSO!!... how do i set different emails in mail merge to send on different
dates (for birthdays for example) (BTW my database is in excel)

I cannot confirm the first as I don't have Windows Vista or Windows Mail
available. Is Windows mail your default e-mail application?
For the second question, you could filter the data on the birthday field and
merge the file or you could probably set a skipif field at the start of your
merge document
{SKIPIF {Mergefield Birthdate \@ "yyyyMMdd"} {Date \@ "yyyyMMdd"}}

You should be able to merge via Windows Mail, but only if
a. you do not mean Windows Live Mail (which is Microsoft's web-based
email facility)
b. Windows Mail is your default email package (see Vista-Control Panel

c. you use the plain text or attachment options. The HTML option only
works with the full Outlook that's part of Microsoft Office.
