Email Merge
City Brat 11/13/2008 12:26:01 AM
I want to create an email via mail merge and I want the same email to go to
three different email addresses (essentially it's an email to one person that
I'm trying to copy two other people on). The email addresses are all in
separate columns on my datasheet. I can't figure out how to select all three
addresses in the merge so that they all get the email. If all of their
addresses were in the same column, it would be easy but then I'd have to
duplicate all the other data fields which seems really silly. I tried
entering the email addresses in the same field separated by semicolons, but I
get an error message. This has to be possible, right?

Email by itself cannot do that.

You will either have to modify the datasource as you mention, or you could
use a modification of the method in the article "Mail Merge to E-mail with
Attachments" at
