    Question

    This program that I'm working on requires email merging.
    My company needs to send emails to mass number of people.
    What is the fastest way to do this with database? I'm planning to first get the names and email address from the database and then store them into a linked pointers or an array, finally running the loop to send emails using outlook express. I downloaded a program called "autoemail" and have tried using it and it seems to require some editing which I'm not capable of doing. Help needed ASAP.

    What problems are you having with AutoEmail?

    I frequently use a program based on that for sending multiple emails using a contact database.

    I would have a solution without VB

    You can generate a serial-letter with word97 and instead of creating a new document you can select to email it. It will ask for the field of your database with the email address and send the emails there using outlook (at least in my case)
