I am trying to do an email merge - send the same email to multiple recipients
- and am using a Microsoft Excel file as my data source. I have a column in
the file that is name Email and all the email addresses of my clients are
listed there. Everything goes great until the last minute after I complete
the merge and then I use the Electronic Mail button. Nothing happens!
Nothing gets sent. I don't see the email addresses being imported in the To
line of the email I've created. WHAT AM I MISSING? SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME
WITH THIS ~ I DO NOT WANT TO SEND ONE EMAIL FOR EVERY PERSON IN MY CLIENT
LIST.

Thank you so much!!
 
Have you considered copying all the email addresses into the bcc filed of the
message composition? You do not have to put anything in the 'to' field. Each
person will get an email but they will not see all the other email addresses.
 
Cristin,

Are there other fields in the emails you are sending that use data from the
excel file or are you just trying to send a non-customized email to
everyone's email address that is listed in the excel file? I'm not sure what
you meant by:

"I DO NOT WANT TO SEND ONE EMAIL FOR EVERY PERSON IN MY CLIENT LIST."

Did you mean that you didn't want to have to manually create emails for
everyone or that you didn't want 100 emails showing in your sent items folder
- meaning 100 emails sent to unique addresses, or is 1 email with 100
addresses in the BCC field acceptable? (Using BCC means that recipients won't
know who else you sent the message to)

Please don't multipost. I answered you in the other newsgroup.
