Excel file has records in rows - details in columns. Records have more than one email (in separate column) attached to a name. How do I extract the extra emails to the main mailing list window. The extra emails are only into the custom field attached to the record

Hi Stephen

If you want each member two have both email addresses, then when importing assign the second email field as a custom field.

If you want each address to appear as a separate member, then import the file twice, mapping the respective source field as the email field each time.

Have I understood your problem correctly?

Nigel,
I did the first option, but it sits in the Custom Fields tab of the "Edit member Record". However I don't know how to get it from there to the main email list window. It would be a duplicate name entry but with an alternate email address. Would the email be sent to the addresses in the custom field in which case there is not a problem.

I've just deleted the whole database and started again. The 2nd and 3rd email address found their way into the custom fields tab by themselves without any field mapping input from me.

The 2nd option is a good work around. "Edit Member Record" for duplicate and triplicate names, only has single email address. Nothing is in Custom field tab which is fine.

Hi Stephen

Email addresses that are custom fields are not used for sending. So method 2 would be best for you.
