Thanks for the correction.

And where are these addresses and in what format are they?
 
They are on my hard drive in CSV format.
Here is what I am trying to do:
I have 5 groups of people (as in Group1.csv, group2.csv etc(
and I want to be able to send them email , either to GROUP 1 or group 2 or
possibly to all the groups.
Maybe you can help me with that.
I really appreciate the help
Thanks
 
Sorry BOB I.....
I am not looking for info re OUTLOOK EXPRESS but for OUTLOOK.
Still waitingfor help from GORDON...Thanks
 
If using Outlook, then you will need to load\import the addresses into a
contact folder, and then create the Distribution Lists of group1 or
group2. I'd suggest making a Contact folder for each group you want to
create.

If you have five CSV files and with to send the same message to all of the
people in that file, use mail merge with the CSV specified as the source.
Open Help in Word and look for "mail merge".

Otherwise, you can create one Distribution List for each CSV file using the
technique described here:

in Outlook. Open the CSV in Excel, select the entries in Excel and copy them
to the Members field in the Select Members dialogue.
 
Thanks to ALL for your help
Much appreciated
