In the DW> left pane there are several book icons, the first of which is DW> "Personal address book". I then have a couple of others - one of DW> which is the one I'm trying to use (sending the mass email to DW> every entry in that AB) - called Trekker. Aha. Therein lies a problem methinks. It may be that the %AB macros are only using the default address book while the records you are using actually come from another. DW> IOW, there's only one entry for each recipient in the list shown DW> when I click on "Trekker" in the left pane. DW> Does each of those little blue book icons represent a different DW> AB? Yes. DW> It seems that although I have one AB open, it's taking the info DW> from a different AB? This seems a truly odd way for it to work DW> s:-/ You have a default address book. That's what's used for resolution of the macros. DW> I suppose it would work better if I had the people in the DW> "Trekker" book in the same AB as everyone else, & then created a DW> Trekker group, rather than a Trekker AB - Yes, yes, YES! That's by far the best way to do it. DW> but that has drawbacks of its own :-( It needn't. Subvert one of the unused fields (the AB has *many*) to provide the extra information used by the Trekker group and use the appropriate %AB macro to pull it out into your mass mailing. You'll love it! ;-). - -- Cheers -- .\\arck D.
