A little more general comment than Eric's. If this is more than obvious, I apologize, I'm just reading your message incorrectly. FileMaker, and therefore ebase, acts on a found set. You select a set of records to operate on, by doing a FIND with some search criteria, then you sort, report, or print labels, for example. So, you can print labels for any subset of records in your database, such as city, zipcode, or the like. You can eliminate any records from your mailing label run, if you have a field coded to exclude them. As Eric suggests, the contact flags are set up for that purpose. -- -- Dave Shaw H4 Consulting tel: 206-954-7526 fax: 206-625-1338 ------------------ Reminder to each recipient: To change your list account preferences, go to http://email.sparklist.com/scripts/lyris.pl?enter=support and enter the email address you used to subscribe to the ebase support list:: [email protected] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- ebase - Relationship Management for Nonprofits, http://www.ebase.org ---------------------------------------------------------------------
