Thanks for your help.
Do I have to save the "file(extract)" to my local pc (client)?
Or is there a way I can save it on the server so that it would be accessible to the "mailing list program"?
What I'm thinking is that I could enable a functionality within MySql so that our membership person could update the members db and then run a make table query. Then the "mailing list program" could refresh it's list from this new table.
Which mailing list app do you recommend? I would like to avoid using MS Outlook in any capacity.
