Hi,

My company's software provides mail merge functionality and I'm having
an issue where the email sent to the merge document is in the format:

'asdf@domain.com; ghjk@domain.com'

i.e. multiple email addresses are specified.

When the merge to email is done, Word throws the error that 'Microsoft
Outook does not recognize the email format.'

What can I do to correct this? How should the two email addresses be
specified?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Mail merging to email can only handle a single email address per record.

To send each document to multiple users, you are going to need to use the
Outlook Object Model.

An example of how this is done is provided in the article "Mail Merge to
E-mail with Attachments" at

http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MailMerge/MergeWithAttachments.htm

Hope this helps.

Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my
