It's really up to you how you use them. All I do is have a list for each
location I need to visit, adding the people I need to look at in to the list
and adding a note in the named list panel at the bottom for each person of
what I need to check. If I need to extract say a whole surname from a set
of records I simply add the source for the set of records with a note to
remind me what I am doing.

I then simply print the Named List report.

If you want to have additional information you could use a custom query to
extract any additional information you want to have and select the rows by
existence in your named list, or perhaps print individual summaries for all
the people in your list. I seldom do this as I take a PDA with my
information on so can look it up on there, just using the named list report
as a ticking sheet.


Am confused about To Do lists. Do I have to set up a custom query for say
