* This is the modus mailing list * Okay here goes ...
Here's the database format. 1) Database format ... For the database, you need two fields at a minimum: a membername field (ie: Email of the member) and a fullname field Ex: table: aList mAddress, type text/varchar mFullname, type text/varchar You create a system DSN that points to the DB containing the aList table. Populate it with a couple of test members. aList mAddress mFullname [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yves Lacombe [EMAIL PROTECTED] John Troher Once you've populated the list with a couple of test members ... You go into ModusConsole, lists, create your new list as a database mailing list, in "Database Config", you put in the system DSN, the DSN username/password if applicable, and you define your select statement. With the above example: SELECT mAddress,mFullname FROM aList Click on Apply and go to members, you should see the members pop up. You should index the mAddress field. -- Yves Lacombe Vircom Technical Support ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Wimbourne" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, January 21, 2004 5:27 PM Subject: [Modus] web based listserv signup > * This is the modus mailing list * > > Thanks John, > > hmmm....can you point me at some live examples? > > regards > > - peter > > "John M.
