Ebase creates a field called NAME_LINE out of the name fields in the record.
For an individual type record, it requires a last name to create the
NAME_LINE field. The NAME_LINE field is used for searching and is displayed
at the top of the screen in the display mode.
To fix this, either change the record type to organization and put Cher in
the organization name field (I know that's wierd), or find a dummy character
to put in the LAST_NAME field to force ebase to create a NAME_LINE field.
NAME_LINE is computed in a complex way, by the way. It considers all the
name entries (first middle last title) for both people when the record type
is Indvidual.

Subject: [support] name problem
We have some peopel that only have one name, like Cher. For some reason,
when it is listed as first name, it prints name on thank you letter, but it
cannot be found when we do a search. When it is listed as last name, we can
do a search, but it prints a plank spot on the thank you. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Matthew
