I don't have any experience with fax solutions, other than knowing that ebaes is designed to work with Faxaway. Faxing the report you need on a "per record" basis might be possible, though, by using a portal. The found set would be the club leaders. You'd use a layout with a portal in which you see the club members. The relationship defining the portal would be with the names file and use some club ID code as the key field. I haven't thought through all the details, but I think the concept works. -- -- 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
