Hi
I have hijacked a bit of code to facilitate grabbing a whole lot of email address from a table and put them into an email. I have modified the code so rather than create a seperate one for each email address they all go into one email. The problem that I have is that they all go into the To: field and I need them to be in the BCC: field in the email. I have looked on this site and many others and have not found a solution. If I post the code below, I would really appreciate the help to get this working.
Also, when then the email opens up in Outlook, for some reason it does not have my signature which usually comes up when I open a new email. Is there something I can do to make this happen?
I am using Office 2003.
Thanks for your assistance.
