Well, Access is NOT my best trick so I'm sure someone else could do this better than me...but what I would do is this Make a copy of your original table which has some records with only one email address and other records with two email addresses Run a query on the original table (not the copy) to find all the records that have something in the SECOND email address field...then make this an APPEND query and append it to the copy you made of the original Now you have a table with one record for each email address Whenever you update the original table, run the append query again (this is the part I'm sure one of the Access whizzes could tell you how to automate with VBA...that's the part I don't know) Use your new table JUST for the mail merges Linda Linda's Computer Stop http://personal-computer-tutor.com ABC Free Ezine ~ Free Ebooks and Tutorials *all outgoing mail scanned by Norton AV.
