Synchronization of Records for Customers/Prospects/Contacts/Mail Addresses

This program is dependent upon synchronization with the Mass Mail flag, the Selected flag, and the Mail Class in the following programs:

When changes are made to records in these programs, or when new records are added, the updates are added to a separate table that is used to synchronize the settings when this program is run. This is to allow speedy performance in this program, as synchronization of the actual tables takes a long time. Not all changes are added to the synchronization table. Records are added to the synchronization table under the following conditions.

Synchronization is automatic when the following parameters are set in program MURM, Initialization Parameter Maintenance. Once automatic synchronization in performed, the synchronization table is cleared for new entries.

Manual synchronization can also be performed. You can update the master programs with the settings in this program, or you can update this program with the settings from the master programs.
