Creating a MailList Code Number

Hi Folks:

I have a print production database that allows me to create  
production tickets for each print job we do as well as keep them  
together as a package. Now I'm adding direct mail to the database  
which may involve all or only a few of the parts of the print  
package. I want to identify the individual pieces that will mail  
using a common mail list. I have a check box field that can assign a  
letter or ALL to the mail list and I can combine that letter to the  
part number.

Looks like this: partnumber&mailcode = 09-1234-00A where A id the  
mail code. But the part might be associated with more than one ,mail  
list involved in the same print package. In other words there may be  
up to five or six different mail lists that are made up of various  
parts of the print package. Using a check box I can only get the  
first letter to appear in the code and not all of the letters checked.

So what I want to do is create a number that reflects all the mail  
list associated with that part of the print package. it might look  
like this: 09-1234-00ABC.

Any ideas before I create 5 different fields for each of the possible  
mail lists?

Thanks as always for your sage advice,
Peter
