The field labeled "Level" on the payment entry screen is a calculated field which will have a value appropriate to the payment amount for every payment entered, regardless of the "Payment For" field.

The Fast Find Field labeled "Member Level" at the bottom of the Home screen is a lookup field using the relationship Dues. That is, the level in that field is taken only from the most recent Dues Payment. >I have made one change to the member level calculation.

In sum, it depends on where you're looking. Searches in the Payment file will find a value on every record. Searches in the names file will have a useful value only for those who have made a Dues payment. -- -- Dave Shaw H4 Consulting tel: 206-954-7526 fax: 206-625-1338 ------------------ Reminder to each recipient: To change your list account preferences, go to http://email.sparklist.com/scripts/lyris.pl?enter=support and enter the email address you used to subscribe to the ebase support list:: [email protected] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- ebase - Relationship Management for Nonprofits, http://www.ebase.org ---------------------------------------------------------------------
