MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / April 2006Mail merge Contacts fields into subject line of email
How do I mail merge a Contacts field into the Subject Line of an e-mail? e.g. I want the subject Line of the e-mail to say: <<First_Name>>, I just got married! -or- Order confirmation for <<Full_Name>>. Office has no feature to do that. It would require custom code or a third-party tool; see http://www.slipstick.com/addins/mail.htm#massmail  SignatureSue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.turtleflock.com/olconfig/index.htm and Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx > How do I mail merge a Contacts field into the Subject Line of an e-mail? > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > -or- > Order confirmation for <<Full_Name>>. Wow. I stumped Outlook 2003. I didn't think that was possible, with all that can be done with VBA and VBScripts. Darn. I was hoping I wouldn't have to go to another program. If anyone else can suggest a way to stay within Outlokk, I'm all ears... > Office has no feature to do that.

As I said, it could be done with code. You did not, however, express any interest in writing any such code.

Not an option. You can look into third party alternatives. This is a first. I've never seen anyone need to customize the Subject field.

It's usually in CRM applications and Outlook isn't a CRM package. BTW Customer Relationship Management.
