Are you actually automating Outlook of just the mailmerge? I think that if
you use code such as that in the article "Mail Merge to E-mail with
Attachments" at:

http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MailMerge/...ttachments.htm

errors in email addresses will be ignored, or you could use On Error Resume
Next before the .Send command.

Group,
Using OFFICE 2007

Within MSWORD, I created a vba script that completes a mail merge using
Excel as the data source. All works well, until there is an invalid email
address, such as missing "@", or missing ".net, .org, etc...

I realize now this error is actually coming from Outlook as it is sending
the email, I've turned off the option for "check names" from
Outlook/tools/options/email/advance, although this does not stop the error
from haulting the mail merge process. Since this mail merge/email process
completes during off-time hours, it is necessary that I am able to prevent
this error. Is it possible to intercept an Outlook error during a MS WORD
mail merge process.

Thanks,
