Elizabeth, Thanks for the tip. That however only give me the research notes that are blank. However, I didn't think about using the search feature to do what I wanted and since you pointed me to the search feature I stumbled on how to do what I want with the research notes. If you go to Detailed Search and fill it out like: Look for whom?: Individual Where to look: Notes-Research How to look: Not Equal to What to look for: (Leave this field blank) Doing this search with show all individuals that have items in the research notes. You can then print the search results. You would have to make sure that research notes is added to the List report options but it would then print out everyone that had research notes. I think that I may do mine this way now since you helped me find a way to do this because I think it is easier to add the item I need research for in the research notes instead of the To-Do list.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, Chuck On Sat, Jun 28, 2008 at 9:53 PM, Elizabeth Richardson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Chuck, you can do a search for research notes not blank and tag them.
