I can just simply right click a contact in the contacts group and get the "Action/send email" option. Pressing those keys seem to not make any difference. Shawn |

| | Re: Contact 'Groups' As with most Windows programs, holding down the Control key enables you to make random multiple selections. Holding down the Shift key also enables you to select multiple items, except that it highlights all contiguous items in the range between two selection clicks. -- Gary VanderMolen [MS-MVP WLM] "brink" <brink.3076q4@xxxxxx-mx.forums.net> wrote in message news:brink.3076q4@xxxxxx-mx.forums.net...

I could select multiple contacts out of order with Control and all with Shift, but it made no difference for me since you can only perform a action with one contact at a time in a opened contact group. I did not need to do anything but right click the contact and select the option to perform the action. I just did not see what benefit these keys offered. Did I miss something on them? Shawn |

When I have more than one contact selected in a group, the "E-mail" option under Action is grayed out. So, unless we are misinterpreting what the OP is saying, you're not missing anything. -- Gary VanderMolen [MS-MVP WLM] |

Ok , it's not just me then. At least this way offers a quicker way to send to just one contact. Shawn |
