[Hidden-tech] Outlook email question

[Gordon Alexander]

You can simply copy and paste a delimited text file of email addresses
directly into the to, cc or bcc field in Outlook, and it'll recognize them
as individual addresses.  For that matter, if you can access the database
table directly you can just copy the column and paste it into one of the
Outlook address fields and it'll add the delimiters automatically.  I do it
all the time from Access, much faster then messing with the export/import
functions.

Best regards,

  Hi,



  I'm hoping someone out there has had experience with importing a
comma-delimited file into Microsoft Outlook. My problem is that when I
import an email address it does not appear as an address when I try to send
a global email from the contact folder it's in unless I open up the contact
record, delete the email address, undo the delete (to pop the email address
back into its field) and then save and close. When I import over a hundred
names and email addresses from my FileMaker database in this way, it's a
hassle to go into every record and refresh the email address (so to speak)
in this way. Does anyone else have any experience with importing email data
from FileMaker into Outlook without having to go through this extra step?



  Thanks in advance for any insights.
