email merge - emails will not send

Hi there
I have been doing email merges using my Access database of contacts for
years. recently though I have had problems sending them
Could this be due to installing Windows service pack 2?
Is there a limit to the number you can send?
I have tried switching off the firewall but this makes no difference
I use Windows XP Pro
thanks
Nicola

It may be that the security measures in Windows XP are blocking the sending
of the emails, but usually in this case, you would see a message pop up for
each email asking you to click OK to send it. You do not however mention
that is the case. If however it is, you can get around having to click OK
for each email by getting hold of the Express Click Yes utility that is
mentioned in the article "Mail Merge to E-mail with Attachments" at:
