Rich is correct about using a focus group. I slice and dice my 218,000 individual database often to send a piece to someone for collaboration. Also note that you can "save" and "load" focus groups so you could develop a set of focus groups that would work for several different slices of the database. The best thing about a focus group is that it does not consist of the records of individuals but rather it is the criteria that is used to find individuals in the database...so if you have 400 people found by the focus group today you might have 450 people next week after working on the database but without any change to the focus group criteria.

The focus group has tagging options.

It would take quite a while to tag each and every individual I want :-) You would think that, in this day and age, there would be an easier way!
