Word will invoke Outlook for the transport, but does not have to use it for
the data source.

Russ,

Thanks for the tip, I just figured it out myself a few minutes ago. I have
done mail merges with Word and Access many times before, I just hadn't
realized Word would also do e-mail.

Thanks,
Dave

Not an Outlook question. Word can easily use an Access database as the

I have a database of club members in an access database and I would like
to
send an e-mail to the ones who have an e-mail address. (Query for
e-mail
field not null) Is there a way to do this directly, in the manner of a
printed mail merge in Word, or must I import the list into the
contacts?
And
if I must do that is there a way to keep that list separate from the
main
contacts folder?

Thanks,
Dave
