1. What this session is and isn’t -
   1. This is: an introduction on to how to run create lists, particularly in Millennium
      
   2. This is not: a presentation by an expert on strategies for sensible create list searches
   3. This is not: a repeat of my presentation from last year. I also mention some create list tricks which I’ve learned in the last year, as well as new functions that are available in Millennium Release 2002 phase 3.

   4. Creating your search
      
      1. Name
      2. Type of record
      3. Set a range, if possible - remember that "advanced" allows you to set a superkeyword search as the range
      4. The search string: double-click, choose from pop-ups, remember boolean logic
   5. Digression about saved searches
   6. Run the search – or suspend, resume or cancel it
