After Outlook 200 SP2, it became quite painful to use Microsoft Word mail merge for e-mail - Outlook detects that a macro is being run and pops up a question whether you want to allow the macro to continue, with mandatory 10 second wait before you can click Yes. If you have 150 recipients, I think you will have to click Yes 150 times, with 10 seconds in between the clicks. Or find a pre-SP2 version of Outlook 2000.

It changes too often to really keep track. You could also do it with API calls to AD and CDO. However, the easiest way may be to just export your users to a CSV file or an Access database and use Microsoft Word to perform a mail merge. I have used this successfully in the past and while a little kludgy, it saves you from writing code. > Hello all. I need help with automating an email to 140 users on our > Exchange system.
