I believe MS Outlook is expecting a "named range".

See Debra Dalgleish's instructions on how to create one:

Does that help?

Ron

One column with just names?

Select and InsertNameDefineAdd.

Give the range a name like MyRange and OK your way out.

If the one column is more than a list of names you may have to re-arrange.

i.e.

Name
Address
email address

would have to go into separate columns with headers

Name Address Email Address
