I have two data files, one containing a list of people who are to be included in a seminar, and the other containing a list of the people who will moderate the seminar (actually three or four different seminar groupings, all to run concurrently). I need to generate two sets of letters: 1. Extract a data record from list 1 to be the addressing information, and a data record from list 2 to tell the addressee when and where the seminar is to be, and by whom it will be moderated. (For a seminar with three groups, this set will contain between 15 and 18 letters.) 2. Extract a data record from list 2 to be the addressing information, and six selected records from list 1, to tell the addressed moderator the names, etc., of the people who will be in his or her group. (For a seminar with three groups, this set will contain three letters.) Am I trying to do the impossible?
