You'd need 3 tables. Client--<ClientGroup>---Group
Then you could do something like use the code from mvps.org to
concatenate all the ClientGroup record values into a single field in a
query, and send the e-mail to that list. Then you could pass that
function's return value to the SeondObject command, and it would do
the mailing for you. Here's the link:
