Adrian,

Yes. It's in my business tracking database so it's updated almost every day.

The column I FUBAR'd holds e-mail addresses. What I'll do is set all to NULL
and find the e-mail addresses I have external to the database and enter them
in a large UPDATE TABLE.

And I think I'll set up a cron job to do a database dump each day with the
date appended to the file name in the bash shell script.

Thanks,
