E-Mail Merge from Access to Outlook

[Todd]

I've seen the question asked in other threads, but not answered. Can I do an
e-mail merge using data and e-mail addresses from Access through Outlook?

I am using Office XP.

Actually, it's done through Outlook *and* Word.

So I can do an e-mail merge sent to individual e-mail addresses with content
like:

Dear [name],

Your allotment this month is [amount].

Sincerely,

Todd

if I go through Word? Like exporting my fields from Access to Word? Can
you walk me through that?

Start with Word's Tools | Mail Merge command, select the data source (your
Access table), add merge fields to the document, then merge to email.

I merged to email and it went through each e-mail but I can't see any proof
anything was sent (nothing in my SENT box). How do I know if it worked?

I also tried setting up a folder under my contacts and importing the data
from my Access table into my new contacts list, then doing the merge in
Outlook - but only the first letter of the e-mail address imported. What
could cause that?

One way is to disconnect from the network (or use File | Work Offline in
Outlook). You should then be able to see everything in the Outbox before
it's delivered.

I don't know anything about the import problem.
