I am working on an Access contact database for a client. The database has different groups of contacts and I am trying to figure out a solution to send e-mails to these groups.
The client's mail server restricts sending e-mail to more than 50 addresses at once which is why I chose to use the MS Word mail merge feature because it sends e-mail to all recipients seprately.
Though the solution works it is not intuitive enough to use for the client. I am wondering if there is an easier way of doing this? Right now the user has to go into Word and manually configure the merge and all details about the data. Is there any way I could program some sort of Access control to open up Word with the recipients already selected so the process is simplified?
I use it every day so personally yes I need it, or rather I want it. I use OpenShell though, not the garbage modern Start Menu. I just counted and at the moment I have a total of 92 program shortcuts organized into six folders almost exactly the way I did back in Windows 95. I can get to any program I want to run very quickly. I never use Search to find or run programs.
I use the search function and little else since Windows 11 (but there are times where Saved Searches take precedence since the search feature on the Start menu is worse than before). I use other features in previous releases.
