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

What is the fastest/easiest way to create another table..will the new table 
automatically update when the "main" table is updated? I'm not sure I 
understand
thanks
