Break up Record set
Dear Experts,
My company produces a weekly newsletter and have an MS Access 2010 database which sends out the newsletter (it's an attachment) one at a time. This works, however it sits on a network and takes a bit of time to run & every so often the connection to the network momentarily stops and then the sending fails as it can't pick up the attachment.
What I would like to do therefore is to group the recordset into blocks of 50 and BCC the recipients instead. Does anybody have a piece of code which will take the first 50 recipients from the query "AllMembersLive" (the field name for the email address is "Email"), and save the email in outlook drafts. It would then go back and repeat that for the next 50 etc etc.
The membership list does change so I am keen not to have a "static" peice of code, by which I mean I would need to hard code in the "next 50" a set number of times.
Can anybody help

> the connection to the network momentarily stops
This should not happen so this is what you should work with.
You can start by moving all this:
Dim mess_body As String
Dim appOutLook As Outlook.Application
Dim MailOutLook As Outlook.MailItem
Set appOutLook = CreateObject("Outlook.Appl
Set MailOutLook = appOutLook.CreateItem(olMa
Set appOutLook = CreateObject("Outlook.Appl
Set MailOutLook = appOutLook.CreateItem(olMa
to the top before the loop.
