I don't have an answer for you. I'm using XL2000, OL2000 and IE6 and I get
a problem around 460 characters (which is about 15 email addresses). I
don't get the same error as you, rather I get "The default email client is
not installed correctly." Then the email shows up but it has some weird
characters in the ninth listing, like this:
; ;
; ;
; ;
; ; dickk˙˙˙˙L?b
If I do 14 addresses, it works fine and all 14 show up in the mail message.
If I try 80 such email address, I get "FollowHyperlink method of Workbook
class failed."
That's not much help to you, but I thought I'd mention it anyway.

Some of the lines of code that I am using are as follows:
Dim MailLink As String
Dim SendTo As String
''''Loop to create SendTo
MailLink = "mailto:" & SendTo
ThisWorkbook.FollowHyperlink MailLink, , True
I have a loop that increments SendTo by adding a semicolon and a new name.
It worked fine up to SendTo containingf 38 names and the string had a
length
of 926 characters.
It failed with err.number = 5 when SendTo contained 39 names and 951
characters.
Can anyone tells me why it fails and how to workaround this.
I know I can paste many more than 60 names in Outlook, so I don't think
it's
an Outlook limitation
I would like to send an email to about 100 subcontractors on a project,
and
I have to go through the process 3 times right now and select about 33 or
34
names each time.
Thanks in advance for any help.
