I have asked this question before, but I will try and be more specific. I am needing to transfer the payments portion of out database into ebase. The problem is that we were using Microsoft Works previously, which is not a relational database. Payments were fields, not separate records. Also we did not asociate a date with payment entries, only a year. So each record contained the following fields where payments were entered. Membership00, subscription00, Spring Fundraiser00, resricted donation00, unrestricted donation00, scholarship00, membership99, subscription99, resricted donation99 ect. The more I think about it, even as I write this, the more I think that there is no way to transfer the desired information using ebase import functions, but if anyone has any suggestions as to how I can avoid having to reenter all payment info by hand, I would really appreciate it. My other concern is that even if I do reenter them by hand, I do not know the date they were entered into our original database, only the year. Will ebase let me just put in a year on the add date? Has anyone ever tried to do this or anything similar? Any help would be very welcome.
