Forgot to mention in that long reply..that my ultimate goal is EACH student have only ONE record until I figure out how to put two (or more ) email addresses in the ONE email field and have it work using outhouse..I have made duplicate records for students that have more than one email address..this avoids having to send a merge twice (once for email1, then for email2)..but it creates a false count for how many students are signed up. thanks Cherie ---Thanks, Cherie ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word "unsubscribe" (without the quotes) in the subject line.
