Walt:
You are correct in regard to if you choose IND the you should have something
in the First or Last Name fields, and if you choose BUS you need not have
anything in the first and last name but put something in the Bus/Org field.
When you do this the Envelopes and Labels do indeed come out fine. It is
just that the Thank You letters do not. I appreciate knowing that REC Type
won't be in the V2, so I will not spend a lot of time messing with it at
this point. Thanks.
