Link Access to Outlook 2007

[saoconnell]

Hello,

I currently have a large database of clients in Microsoft Access. Every
month my company send out news letters and invites to the seminars that we
host. I currently do all of this manually which as you are probably aware
very time consuming.

1) Is there a way I can link my access database to outlook so our clients
would be in both, without me having to double input.

2) Once into Outlook can I send a mass mail but keep it personalised, for
example Dear ........?

I hope somebody can help me as this takes up so much of my time and I'm sure
there is an easier way to do this.

Many Thanks in Advance!

Shane
