**Self-Hosted**
Does anyone have a way to find the corresponding customer_no's for a large number of email addresses that lives in the client? I have a way that works now, that is in an Excel spreadsheet, that queries Impresario (the user puts the email addresses on one tab and then the id's are produced when they press refresh on another), but this solution requires the user to have impresario user permissions to a specific view in impresario.
I really need a solution that can live in the client and can be accessible via "reports and utilities" so that I don't have to give the permissions at the SSMS impresario level.
Any thoughts?
We are getting all these email addresses from people who attend zoom events and such (large numbers, like hundreds of them) and my coworkers need to know the Tess ID's to match those so they can make updates to the records (like marking an activity as attended).
Like I said, the current solution works but we don't want to keep doling out impresario permissions outside of the client, and it is increasing the workload for the few people who already have it. AND we have enough things here at SLSO that operate outside the client (Like that front of house Access form I have been asking for help with in the Dev forum). Managing yet another is not ideal.

Ashley,
If the goal is marking events as attended, I have a thought, as we have been using Zoom reports in the same way. That said, our solution kind of comes at the problem from the completely other direction.
We have a custom report (that I wrote) which is a minor modification of the Performance Seating Book. The two important things it also outputs are 1) the patron's e-mail address and 2) the ticket's barcode. So our Box Office just uses that report to find e-mail address information and then scans the tickets in directly from that report.
Happy to share if you think that might be useful to you. That said, it DID require me to get RAMP to add a barcode thing to Visual Studio; not sure how to go about that for you since you are self-hosted.
