Mail merge to email problem extracting two email address

[RubenM]

I am using Word & Access 2003.

Trying to mailmerge to email using my customers access data base, using one
access text field that have stored two email address separated by semicolon
got the following check name error:

Microsoft Office does not recognize email1; email2
The mail is not sent.

Most of my customers have more than one email address and I want to send the
email to each of the email address. How can I do that?

Thanks for your help

The procedure that is used in the macro in the article "Mail Merge to E-mail
with Attachments" at
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MailMerge/MergeWithAttachments.htm

can handle multiple email addresses.

Sorry, I am not a programmer.
Why I can´t have a text field containing two email address separated by one
semicolon (for example: (e-mail address removed); (e-mail address removed)) in an access
table, and use that field in a mailmerge to email message and have the mail
produced?, Do I have to create different fields to keep multiple emails
address for a simple customer record?

You don't need any programming skills to use the macro. Doug has done that
for you - see http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm

In the "Setup" section of this document, instruction is given to create e
"Directory" type merge. This is to create a list of email address and the
drive/path of the attachment. The end result is supposed to be a table.
When I did this, it did not create a table. So I did a single row table and
completed the directory merge and then saed the resultant multi-row table as
"Directory.doc".

The next set of instructions says as follows: "Then execute the mail merge
that you want to send out by email with attachments and then with the result
of execution of that mail merge on the screen, run a macro containing the
following code.:

What is not clear is what type of mail merge am I supposed to do at this
point? to Letter or to email? When I did it to Letter, it generated the
letters but nothing was sent when I did the macro. When I did email merge,
the original emails were sent but not the attachments.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for any help.
