Hi Ruth, We rarely generate mailing lables in our development department, but our grants department uses RE for Nonprofit organizations and they do generate a lot of lables. They use the RE Mail function for that purpose without any issues. We use RE Mail for other mailings, generating lists for review...

Hi Cara and JoAnn, The functionality that JoAnn just mentioned on the Org tab is a great way to avoid having someone receive 2 mailings because they are both an individual and a contact for an organization. Another tool that you can use to 'de-dupe' a record that exists in multiple queries would...

Rose, Your outuput query generates the desired results due to the filters set up in the label function. I'm guessing a filter there is looking for the constituent code. Running any of the functions in mail when you set filters and/or attiributes create a query of their own. If your criteria is selected...
