Email to multiple recipients

Thank you! Your awesome!  This is what the code ended up looking like, and I have ran it on multiple tables now to get emails, but how does strEmails "know" what it's value is.  It is dim'd @ the start of the code, but never "set" to = anything....I appreciate your help, just trying to understand the "why" behind what I did.

With rs
        .MoveFirst
        Do Until .EOF
        EmailAddress = ![Email]
        .MoveNext
        strEmails = strEmails &   EmailAddress & ";"
        Loop
        OMsg.To = strEmails
        OMsg.Display


Reply from Alex Hedley:

You set it here with the assignment operator "="
strEmails = strEmails & EmailAddress & ";"

So you have a list
Fred, Joe, Alice, Bill

strEmails = ""
First loop
strEmails = "Fred"
Second
strEmails = "Fred; Joe"
etc

So its saying get what strEmails currently is and add on another string then set this back to itself so it overwrites the first person with the first and second person (lather, rinse, repeat to quote friends)
