Creating and Sending Emails Using Access 07 and Outlook 03

[achung]

Hi all,

I am trying to send certain selected fields from a database to several email recipients (similar to Mail Merge in Microsoft Word).

When I go to External Data--> Create Email, it says I need Outlook 07 to use the function.

Is there anyway to do this with Access 07 and Outlook 03? Or is this only possible if I have Outlook 03?

Thanks.

Why not just upgrade to Outlook2007 since you're already using Access 2007? Did you purchase Access separately? If not, Outlook is in the same package.

There were a lot of features added in Office 2007 that involve "joint operations" between applications. Those just were not available when 2003 was released, so it makes sense you need the newer version of the programs if you want those features to work.

Otherwise, you can always get an Access add-in or do some custom programming in VBA within Access to send your emails.
