autoemailing Please Help

[Jeremy]

I am in need of help with 2003. I have a database that
stores address and email address along with the date
sent. I am currenty running a report in access
downloading the emails in excel and then email the
recipients in outlook under blind copy. I need to send a
letter to individuals in the database, that will put
there email address in TO field, put the words Thank You
in the Subject line. Put a message in the Message box,
with there name after the Dear _______: and then update
the date field to say that the message was sent. Please
help me I have about two thousand emails that need to be
personalized and sent out. P.S. I work in HR, this is not
for Spam.

This piece of code will send a personalized email to every contact that has
an email address, assuming there is a table called "tblContacts", a field
called ContactEmail and a field called ContactLastName in that table.

Create a new module in Access, and paste this code in there. Then, run it.
