Michael,

You can read up on this approach in my book. It has an exhaustive section on Exception List Indexes, where this approach is outlined.

Michael - it would seem to me that you'd want to use an exception index so that when a payment is made it takes the paid invoice "off" the unpaid list while keeping everything else on. That would involve posting a payment to a specific invoice, not simply an open balance. It also seems to me that you'd
want to do this on an invoice-by-invoice basis so that if a customer has
multiple unpaid invoices they would all show, not simply the last invoice
issued.

I'm setting up a database to keep records of payments of advertisers to
our village magazine:

I have a main "Contact" panel linked to a "Payments" panel where the
fields include "Payment-from" and "Payment-to".

We need to keep records of all previous payments so each advertiser will
have a number of records in the "Payments" panel but I would also like
to set up a system whereby overdue payments are flagged - something like
"if today - Payment-to is greater than 0 then flag" but I'm not sure how
to get this to operate on only the last payment record for each
advertiser.

Any help, or different approach, much appreciated.

Michael
