A little example: i have John (male) and Jane (female) in my adress book in the same group. Now according to their sex or their name prefix (in the adressbook) i want to salutate them, either with e.g. "Dear Mr. John, " and "My dearest Ms. Jane, ". Can you help me set that up? Maybe write me a template (just the salutation part) for this example? As far as i understood right now, the sex-field (male, female, none) acts as an "if"-clause, right. and i can use it with %ABToGender, got that too. but what is the name prefix for then? -- Regards, Ralph ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.0.1.33 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
