A couple of options, use SendObject in your macro and email the list to
yourself first, or use OutputTo and create a file in a directory somewhere.
You will have a choice of formats, .txt is one, .xls, .rtf, etc.  You might
want to try several formats 1st before deciding what will work best for
your need.  hth, Cathy

I have a data base that has two columns that contain email addresses.

I can not no how no way get a decent mail merge going with word/access (it
takes about 5 minutes to send the mail out)

SO..I have to copy/paste the email addresses into notepad and send to the
boss..she pastes it all in to outlook

the boss prefers it this way anyway..so doing it this way is the only
option right now

my question:
I know I can make a macro or something that will take the contents of the
columns and put them in a txt file...but I have no idea how..I only know
VERY basic stuff

can someone get me step by step directions on doing this?
---Thanks,
Cherie
