Mailing List 1.0
his Access database maintains a list of people with all their contact details (address, email, phone, fax). You can then use these records to compile and store multiple mailing lists for land mail & email. Other features include quick phone number lookup, optional password protection, easy list export to other programs, alternative mailing address, filtering, six custom categories per record, notes field.
The mailing list section is a versatile feature that allows you to select any records in your database and store them in their own category. Typical examples might be a mailout for a newsletter, a list of members, members of a committee, or media mailouts.
Mailouts can be done by sending one of your lists directly to your email program (Outlook, Thunderbird etc), or by sending the list to one of the three mail merge documents that come with this database. These are set up for form letters, envelope printing or sticky labels.
Another important feature is the filter that allows you to display records by category and by any aspect of name and address. The filtered version of the database is then available for compiling mailing lists. So you could make a mailing list to anyone living in your local area, or perhaps anyone allocated to one (or more) of the six custom categories
In summary, this database is a simple solution to maintaining an accessible and useable list of people from all the different areas encountered by community organisations.
