I'll second Walt's suggestion that Record Type is not a good place to keep this info. Label, letter, and envelope addresses have different information depending on the value of the field Record Type. A better scheme to keep the bit of data "send a newsletter" is one of the contact flag fields on the data entry screen. Put a "Y" in the one labeled "Newsletter". > >Can you suggest a way to make Label records look different or act different >so that volunteers will immediately know not to (or be unable to) make >changes there? > >Thanks again! >Ben Stallings >World Population Balance > >------------------ >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 >--------------------------------------------------------------------- -- -- 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
