Others might disagree with me after some frustrating experiences related here on the list. How well it works depends on system settings to insure FileMaker knows what your default email client is. This is more or less easy depending on the email program and system you use, apparently. >2) Are you able to label contacts with multiple >customized labels (e.g., volunteer, mentor, donor, >etc.)? I have seen any one of several built-in fields used for that - affiliations, issues2, action preferences. And of course if you have FileMaker you can add your own flags. If you are asking specifically if you can mark several options in a given field, the answer is also yes, you can format a field with a value list and check boxes. > >3) If we wanted to track multiple dates, beyond just >"renewal date" is there an easy way to do this (and >subsequently sort by this?) Again, just add the fields you want to track. You can sort by any field in the file. > >Thank you! -- Dave Shaw Northwest Classics, Inc tel: 206-954-7526 fax: 206-625-1338 --- You are currently subscribed to support as: [email protected] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
