I think you missed the point. The "point" is to avoid a duplication of
information (ie. the email address and name in multiple locations). The
database currently contains some 800+/- names and is maintained by the club
secretary (who happens to be my wife).
What I was hoping for was a feature of Listserv (or another program if
Listserv can't do it, but I *much* prefer Listserv) which does not keep the
subscribers in a .list file at all, but instead will *automatically* pull
the addresses from a query or table in Access.
