Hello... We are using CTPP to update a report regarding commuter characteristics in San Diego County. Since all the information was compiled using CTPP 2000 (Part 3: Summary Level 050), we are thinking that it should be available in the new and improved CTPP. Everyone who worked on the previous report is no longer working here, so we are hoping that some of you can point us in the right direction regarding the following that has us stymied. Any guidance you can provide is appreciated. Thanks... Darlanne

Hi,
The notification process seem to force everyone on the receiving end to
reply all. I imagine that others, like me, receive all the responses:
attending, declining, tentative, etc. Is that what you’ve found and is
there a way to correct it? I suppose there’s a way to spam out anything
from certain addresses, but that’d defeat the purpose of wanting to know
about events and new, but not the meeting responses from the whole—or, much
of—the list.
