Hi -

I've had a look through the posts but can't seem to get my head around this one.

I have a list of email addresses which are assigned to email lists.

PK EmailID, ListID EmailAddress

I want to create a new list from two existing lists, without duplicates.

The only way I can think of doing it right now, is to create the new list, add all the emailaddresses from list 1. Going through list 2 , try and load an email address using a filter to make sure it's not there, then add it.

Must be an easier way.... disappointed Can you help?

Phil.

Sure simple_smile First select all email addresses belonging to list 1, with the filter that they aren't on list 2. Then add list 2 simple_smile
