Hello - I have encounterd an issue with email merge and it is totally
infuriating me with Microsoft to the point that I am going to try an
Apple or even Open Office. I can not email merge HTML - only Text.

I purchased a laptop with Vista (big mistake) and loaded office 2003
and SP3. I also purchased Outlook 2007 in hopes that this would
remedy the situation, but no chance. I can only merge text, not
HTML. Also, even with that I get the very irritating messages
stating that another program is trying to send an email (for each
message). Aside from the HTML problem, what is the remedy for the
pesky message? I have tried turing off the firewall but can not find
any other solution.

I have also tried multiple variations of SW, and will not try
removing outlook 2007 and re- installing outlook 2003 (as this
combination works fine on my other laptop (running XP).

Well, the first thing you should do is to remove the Word or Outlok add-in
that you have installed that is making Outlook complain about the access.
Adobe PDF Maker is one of the add-ins that can cause this. There are
others.

The second thing you should do is describe exactly how you're attempting to
perform the merge and state state doesn't work in detail. Just saying "it
doesn't work" doesn't help anyone form a diagnosis.
