I am trying to do an email mail merge. And it works, B-U-T, it opens up
the merge document in Word and then prompts me one by one to tell me a
program is trying to send an email. And I have to sit there and hit Yes
- Yes - Yes....

Obviously this isn't very exciting since I am trying to send like 800 of
these.

Is there someway to do this without getting the prompts?

Thanks
 
If your mail format is HTML the prompts will not be triggered. Make sure all
Office updates have been applied.

Hi Russ,

Do you by any chance know a good way to keep track of people who did not
respond to an email I've sent them? (100's of them, "follow up" flag or
something like that is not what I mean. I've tried the "tracking status"
internal field, but that does not seem to do anything at all.

Thnx,

Jos
 
You can always request a read receipt, but it will be at the recipient's
discretion as to whether the receipt is sent to you, depending on their
email software.
 
A read receipt is not the same as keeping track of people who did not reply.

Then perhaps you can explain what you mean so I can understand your
question.
 
Hi Russ,

Thnx for your reply.

I am going to send out a mailing to 900 scientists. They need to respond to
the mails. So, I need to keep track of the people that do not respond, so I
can resend the mailing to those that don't respond.

Steps:

1. Send out mailing to Russ MVP.
2. A. Russ does not respond.
3. Resend mailing to Russ.
4. Russ still does not respond.
5. Resend mailing to Russ.

Etc.

Obviously, with 900 recipients I can not manage this easily "by hand"; I
want to automate it.

Thnx for any reply,

Jos

You allready wrote that. But they don't offer a trial version, and I'm not
one of those who pays first, then gets dissatisfied, and then has to go
through the horrors of getting your money back.

I see. Outlook does not have a native utility to do that. As Sue said, you'd
need to look for third party solutions for that.
