MS Office Forum / Outlook / General MS Outlook Questions / May 2007Group E-mail merge in Outlook 2007
I have a contact database of 130 sales people across the country. I update them with an email merge weekly. My ISP has no problems with this procedure as I have been doing it for years. I just upgraded to Outlook 2007 on my new Vista machine and outlook is working like a champ. I select the contacts that I want to email, Hit mail merge, use existing or create new document (neither way works), compose the document, hit "finish merge" do the selections there and type in a subject line and it begins the merge. I then get a warning box with a countdown that "an application is trying to send email on my behalf" and selections of "OK" or "Cancel" come up. This is ok except that it does it for EACH of the 130 people I am sending to and honestly takes up a LOT of time. I had the same issue in Outlook 2003 and found a Microsoft registry upgrade that took care of the problem. I can't remember where I fount that upgrade and it does not work on 2007 as I mistakenly ran it on 2007. 1. where is the "patch" or edit for 2007? 2. What should I do about running the 2003 patch on 2007 product? Thanks in advance! Cecil You need to choose HTML for merge message format if you want to avoid those prompts.

Most likely you've edited a registry key to disable the integration of a certain add-in like for instance the Adobe Toolbar. FYI; The issue is caused by an add-in not securely sending instructions to Outlook. Either disable this add-in or ask contact the vendor of that add-in for an update; it has been over 6 years since this security feature has been first introduced.

Outlook 2007 will not do this. No version of Outlook has done this since Outlook 2002 as long as HTML is your message format (which it is by default). You have made some other changes or used some other add-in to trigger the security prompt. SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] >I have a contact database of 130 sales people across the country.

Since I recieved these responses I did do a emailing to my people in HTML and that worked but is it possible to do this same thin as a plain text email? > There is more to this story than you have told us.
