That way you will not kill your server.I crashed my server trying to send e-mail to ~5,000 users. Since then my users database has grown to 10,000.I have a few extra fields in my database for random purposes.I have one template which sets one of these extra fields to NO on all the records.Then I search the database neFIELD1data=YES&max=300 in founditems, I write my email message to a file in the sims submitted folder and set FIELD1 to YES.This first time I ran it I then hit that template every 5 minutes. (Seems that the SIMS activity as measured by the twinkling lights on my router quieted down after about 3 minutes)The next time I try this I will set a trigger after each pass and set the trigger to re-run the template again in five minutes until the [numfound]=0 then I'll send my self an e-mail to tell me it's all done.Thanks to Mike_Davis who suggested the concept.___Joe____________________________________________________ Joseph D'Andrea JoeDan@West21.com WEST21.com Internet services for the 21st Century http://www.west21.com/ _________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------- Brought to you by CommuniGate Pro - The Buzz Word Compliant Messaging Server.
