Thanks for your help Dave, and your patience. Ok, here's what I do: In e-base I conduct a 'query', pull up a found set. I go to the 'output' window and select 'email'. I get a dialogue box: ...Delete cc/ps values..? I hit 'yes'. I get a dialogue box: ..Finished with replacement... I hit 'Ok'. I get the ' Text creation methods' window. I check the 'Create text from scratch' box. I hit 'next' on the wizard. I get the 'Edit email' window. I enter a subject on the subject line and the message text. I hit 'next' on the wizard. I get the 'Email sourcecode options' window. I hit 'No, proceed to next step'. I hit 'next' on the wizard. I get the 'Check email addresses...?' window. I hit 'yes, check email addresses'. I hit 'next' on the wizard. I get the 'invalid email addresses' window. I hit 'next' on the wizard. I get the 'Send email for found set?' window. I hit 'yes, send email now'. I hit 'next' on the wizard. I get a dialogue box: Send email as batch? I check the 'batch' box. I get a dialogue box: a text string of email address placed... on your clipboard...you must paste to bcc... I hit 'ok'. I get an Outlook email message window with my message text and subject already inserted and with [EMAIL PROTECTED] in the To: line. I delete that address from the To: line and paste my addresses to the bcc: line. ( I click on the bcc: line and hit ctrl-v). All 263 addresses are visible in the bcc: line. I hit 'send'. I get the e-base window: 'Email sending status' with the counts on it. It shows that 263 were sent. I hit 'next' on the wizard. I get the 'create contact records?' window. I hit 'no'. I get the 'summary screen' window, with recent settings. It shows 'create contacts' NO and 'send or print' YES. I hit 'done'. My Outlook window comes up. I look at the 'sent' box, 'outbox' and 'inbox' for the message. I don't see it. I hit 'send/rec' to connect with my ISP and send and receive new messages. I still don't see it.
That's it.
