What if I created the field where the districts in which each member lives in can go, how do I tell ebase to enter a specific district like 'armuchee' into that empty field box? I already have a found set of 216 members that live in that district, I would hate to have to type it in by hand, is there some kind of global replace that I can do? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Walt Daniels" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "TechRocks Support" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, January 02, 2002 10:24 AM Subject: [support] RE: keeping track of renewal notices
