Additional uses of the Activity tab

You can use a database query or a stored procedure to list all the people who have the Mail Rqst (request) flag set. For example, this can be used in mail merges with Microsoft Word.

The crspFutureActivityPrint stored procedure has the advantage that in addition to retrieving key activity data it also updates fields to indicate when the letter was printed (Mailed Date) and by whom (Mailed By). See Using stored procedures to retrieve Synergetic data in the Extracting data manual.
