One more thing... On another note, I just realized one more kink in this wheel of a problem I've been trying to solve. I forgot to mention that this database holds around approximately 19,000 contacts. I then perform a simple search query to filter out contacts that have been in the database before 5/1/2006, and have e-mail contacts. When I get results, around 6400 contacts are found. (this is different than the previous 9000 I mentioned, I refined the search to be more detailed)
Now, it would be great if somehow the script that is in the process of being tweaked (the one barhar has graciously been writing and editing) could somehow filter this, but I feel that this might be somewhat of a hard task. I guess if worst comes to worst, all 19,000 contacts could be e-mailed; but the sheer fact that the script would take their first name and e-mail, and be able to automatically do this would be worth it.
Good Luck and Thanks to anyone helping in the past and future! |
