I have rejoined this list after a rather long sabbatical ;-) Naturally, I have a question right off the top - I have a couple of clients that would like to run a listserv, but have the information (ie. subscribers) pulled directly out of his Database (MS Access), as opposed to keeping it in the traditional .list file. There's a part of me, a big part, that just *hates* having to duplicate data.... Is this possible? Specifics: A dog club with all the typical database information Name Address Phone Email Shows (logical) Trials (logical) Member (logical) etc. We would like to be able to run several lists this way, eg only the folks who are club members only the folks who participate in Shows only the folks who participate in Trials etc. Now before anyone says, "you can just do a query and reset the list subscribers" keep this in mind - doing that would work well for announcement type lists. But some of these lists are discussion types - ie. used on a daily basis by the entire "subscribership". + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Chris Barnes AOL IM: CNBarnes [log in to unmask] ICQ: 3581645
