Hi Brian,

That is exactly what I'll do.  I forgot about Keep a Total because I've never used it!  Your suggestion is easy to implement.

Any idea on how to mark hte date when the record reached two returns and thus, is off the list?

P.S.  I solved the previous problem by creating an "Outside List" child panel, with an indicator in the parent panel whether there are records in the child panel.  Then with each mailing that's been specified from the outside source, I import their list into the Outside List panel (my unique ID is still with their record), run the report that creates the mailing record, then delete the records from the Outside List panel.  Works like a dream.

I guess you are storing returns in some child panel?  If so, using Keep a Total, can be used to count the number of records matching a criteria (ie formula on a flag field indicating 1 or 0 . The kept total is on the parent panel, and if you do not want to chow it or take up valuable real estate then use a G9::H field. Refer to that field to check that it is less than 2 when send ing mailings.

Hi Everybody,

Does anybody here have experience with mailing list management?  Specifically, I want to track returns, so after two returns, the name is flagged off the mailing list.  I also want the date the name was flagged off recorded. 

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Charlie Wolf
