Thanks Ken,

Its just that I'm not sure which bits to eliminate totally ---

[VBA]MailDbName = Left$(UserName, 1) & Right$(UserName, (Len(UserName) - InStr(1, UserName, " "))) & ".nsf"
[/VBA]
do i keep the above bit?
I know how to email thru outlook, but not using Outlook MailDatabase, I've done it before by entering all email addresses in a separate sheet on the excel file. This case is different as the email addresses aren't in excel, but in Outlook.

[Kenneth Hobs]

That code is just for Lotus Notes.

Not sure that I know what Outlook database is.

You need contacts from Outlook? See if this helps. http://www.outlook-stuff.com/lang-en...anhaengen.html

[Anomandaris]

I cant access that site from work, thanks for trying to help me though. Really appreciate it.

anyone else have any ideas how to send emails to Outlook contact lists from Excel? Xld you around?

[Kenneth Hobs]

Not sure why you started another thread.

You seem to have 2 goals. (1) Use Outllook rather than Lotus Notes. (2) Use Outlook contacts rather than an Excel range of email addresses.

See this site for some good examples. http://www.rondebruin.nl/sendmail.htm

[Kenneth Hobs]

I attached the code from the site that you could not get to in Module2. It is rather long so I suggest that you try Ron's examples first.

Thanks a lot Kenneth

That file has some good clues, I hope I can come up with something using these tips!
