    Emailing to a Database

    Hey there people,

    Basically what im looking for is a bit of closure, i have based my university dissertation on microsoft office, and must build a program within it, using VBA.

    I want to ask you lots opinion on if my idea is feasible.

    the idea:

    Basically i want to have a database with a list of company employee information, including salary.

    I then want to use VBA code to link this Database to Outlook and outlook to send emails with the imformation of the salary to the employee.

    So i suppose the database would have name, email salary for simplicity and then that information would be templated and sent off to the email and ta da.

    Feedback would be great because i want to start building it soon enough.

    Thanks in advance.

    Liam
