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. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Chris Barnes AOL IM: CNBarnes [log in to unmask] ICQ: 3581645
