I would add a new field into you table, let say IsSent bit, the default value is 0 which mean didnt send yet and 1 mean sent Then just do a regular query let say
SELECT TOP 400 * FROM myTable WHERE IsSent = 0 then if you loop over the records just update every record UPDATE myTable SET IsSent = 1 WHERE ID = #ID# On Wed, Nov 19, 2008 at 8:23 AM, Elizabeth Meyer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > I have a function in ColdFusion that mails a newsletter to user in the > database.
