Thanks for the explanation of how to do multiple finds with the "heads or not in household" check box on the query pages. We need all the help on multiple finds we can get.
But we were only doing a single find for "heads or not in household" AND newsletter flag. What we are experiencing is that when we do this search, and then go into the household label option, the same names are displayed in preview that are displayed when you preview the individual label option. We have four households. Shouldn't we expect four households when we select the label household preview option? Shouldn't we expect, when we select the label individual preview option, to see a list of individuals *without* the names of households or their members. My reading of Page 14-2 of the Users' Manual (especially paragraph 8.) seems to indicate that the household and individual label previews should be different, given the above search. If my reading of Page 14-2 is correct, how can we fix househld and individual labels so they do what they are supposed to do. Thanks, Dave Shaw, for your help.

We have added a few households to our database according to directions on Page 10-3 f. of the 9/14/99 version of "How to Use ebase." Our dificulty is that when we choose the household option in the label routine we get the same list of records that we get when we choose the individual option. (We have followed the note at the bottom of, Users' P. 14-1, to create our found set by choosing the "Y radio button for the HEADS or NOT IN HOUSEHOLD" option.) You don't say what other criteria you use in your mailing lable search aside from "heads or not in household", so I wonder if you are doing the search correctly. If you have multiple search criteria, for example, two find requests, one for current members, and one for grace period members, the radio button needs to be checked on BOTH the find requests. Here's the logic: All records must be: Current members AND [Heads or not in household] (And means both criteria need to be on the same find request) OR (new find request) Grace members AND [Heads or not in household] -- -- 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
