A user here has a list set up that we are keeping archives for. In trying to search the archives using LDBASE, we are unable to search the HEADER, TEXT(BODY), or ALL 'fields'. The SUBJECT and SENDER 'fields' seem to work, however. A message comes back and says that 'field (fieldname) not defined for database (database-name)', or some such text. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated. Rich Richard Seifert, Jr BITNET---MAINT@CLVM Systems Programmer/Postmaster/NAd [log in to unmask] Educational Resources Center Clarkson University
