I have a Excel database of with names and e-mails. I want to send an e-mail
to each of those people. How do I tell Outlook to use that Excel database to
send an e-mail to each person?
You don't tell Outlook anything; you start a mail merge from within Word,
use Excel as the source and Outlook for sending. Sounds complicated but it's
all automated ;-)

Thank you for this response. I wish this was listed some where in the on-line
help. I did several searches and looked in the table of contents and found
nothing.
Microsoft really needs to improve their help system.

This was very helpful so far...but I am having problems with the last part.
I will start by saying, I am pretty new to Microsoft 2007...but I am very
familiar with merging documents from prior versions.
I made and checked my document in Word, however, I do not see where I tell
it to send to Outlook. This is new to me.
Can you help?

I know the mail merge function of outlook where you create a master word file (which acts as your content) and then roll in the data from excel, it is only good if you want to send a letter and not a letter with an attachment. I have a database in excel and want to send the people a letter along with an attachment (word document), any clue how can I do it quick and short rather than sending them individually?
