Can I create Outlook Distribution List from Access database?
Is it possible to create a Distribution List from email addresses already stored in an Access database. I can send an email to each individual email address listed in the database, but would like to send the same email to several of the email addresses in one go.

You don't need (and shouldn't bother with) a distribution list for that.
This can be done with Outlook VBA code that creates a message (CreateItem
method) and sets the To property of the message to a semi-colon delimited
string of the desired addresses.
Note, though, that this means each recipient will see the others' addresses,
which might not be desirable for privacy reasons. Your existing technique,
which I presume is mail merge, might be better for that reason (and because
it requires no code.
Please post follow-up any questions or comments to the forum at
http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/outlooksend/threads as this
newsgroup will be discontinued any day now.
