In my word mail merge file, I've defined the data source as an access table
with a field [email] that contains one or more email addresses per field.  
the addresses are separated by semicolons.  When I run my merge there are no
problems when the field contains only one address.  When there is more than
one address I get the following dialog box:
Check Names
Microsoft Office Outlook does not recognize "Jane@foobar.com;frank@foobar.com"
Select the address to use.  

In the email merge, can I have more than one addresses in the [field] I
identify as holding the email address?  What do I need to do?

Not as far as I know. I tried pretty hard to find a way to do it, and I
don't give up easily.

But you can try Doug Robbins' method which is described at
