Hi Jean, You create a keylist definition file. You then paste the address list definition file into your new file, and change the fields to reflect the needs of your own database. Information on database creation is in the chapter dealing with the address list. However, the manual recommends you create your definition files in the general folder, but I personally feel more comfortable creating definition files in the keylist folder, as Marlaina Lieberg suggested years ago when she posted notes on database creation.
