Hi

I have code that opens up an email based on a query from Access. It
puts it in the To field, but it's a newsletter and needs to go in the
BCC field. I ahve tried placing BCC in various places, but no luck. ANy
ideas please?

Much appreciated!

Public Function SendEmailUpdates()

Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim MailList As DAO.Recordset
Dim MyOutlook As Outlook.Application
Dim MyMail As Outlook.MailItem

Dim BodyFile As String
Dim fso As FileSystemObject
Dim MyBody As TextStream
Dim MyBodyText As String

Set fso = New FileSystemObject
'Enter the subject line

Subjectline$ = InputBox$("Please enter the subject line for this
mailing.", _
                "Subject Line")

' If there's no subject, quit.

If Subjectline$ = "" Then
   MsgBox "Email composition cancelled" & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & _
      "", vbCritical, "Outlook Email "
   Exit Function
End If

' Enter body text

BodyFile$ = InputBox$("Please enter the location of the filename of the
body of the message.", _
            "Enter location of .txt file")

' If there's no body, quit.

If BodyFile$ = "" Then
   MsgBox "Email composition cancelled" & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & _
        "", vbCritical, "Outlook Email"
   Exit Function

  ' Since we got a file, we can open it up.
