Select Number Of Records

The Select Number of Records command displays a prompt for the number of records you want to select in the underlying list. A list must be open for this to work.

The command starts tagging with the currently highlighted record. You may tag one or more records. Use the arrow keys to move to the first record that you want tagged. You can tell which records are tagged as they will change to a different color.

Enter the number of records you would like to select, and Collect! will begin tagging from your current list position downward until it reaches the number of selected records.

Redo the command as many times as you wish. Just repeat the process until you have selected all the records that you desire. Then you can do anything to this tagged list.

When you tag records in a list, you can use the tagged list to print reports or letters. All the functions available in an unfiltered list are also available in tagged lists. That means that if you choose Quick Print, you will get a printout of the tag list. If you choose Print Reports and Letters, you can print letters to only those people in the tag list. If you choose Edit, Delete, you will delete the records in the tag list.

Remember to Clear Tags when you are finished. If you exit Collect! to your Desktop, Collect! will automatically clear all tags and search criteria.
