Hi, Jim,

Here's a tip Wim posted some time ago. It sounds like you should name
the new list (Names Problems List, in your case) as *part* of the
cut-and-paste process, not outside of the process.

One way to create a saved list from queries is with the
left pane from the list-window: select the header "Query
Results", rightclick, copy. Then rightclick again and select
paste. A "Paste list as"-window pops up, you can give the
list a name plus choose an option, first is "paste as new
list". Depending on the query results, this list can be
shorter than the original results because GB will filter
out duplicates. (Wim)
