I just finished up a newsletter application for someone. All that is left is adding all the email addresses. She has all the addresses stored in her Outlook Express address book. I thought it would be as simple as exporting it to a comma seperated text file and using FSO to read them into the database....well....all the email addresses are stored in Groups within the address book. I've tried and tried to find a way to export the email addresses from those individual groups, and I can't seem to figure it out. Does anyone know if this is possible? there are about 1000 email addresses and I really don't want to go through there and grab each other them by hand. Any advice would be most helpful.
Hmm, I just opened the address book, and hit File --> Export --> Other Address Book... --> I chose "Text File (Comma Seperated Values)" and continued with the other instructions.
well, I did that and it exports the email addresses that are in the book, but none of the email addresses that are within individual groups. I don't know if I'm explaining my problem clear enough.
Only half kidding , maybe you can have her change the addresses in individual groups to individual addresses and then you pick it up from there. Sometimes people need to take responsability and "pay" for their mistakes...
I was looking to do the opposite thing for Outlook. Import addresses into a distribution list from a text file. After about 20 min, I couldn't figure it out so I gave up.
