As some may remember, I'd been struggling with a corrupted payment file for a month now. After reading some of the recent semi-related mail of others, I decided not to use 103 (can't update Filemaker right now) and just start a new 102. I did that. Names imported fine, and I had an older back up of payments I used. Figured we I'd just rekey payments from that point on. Everything seemed fine. I finished Congress today. With that, of course, added new Congressional names. Okay, then I started work on getting some new and old payments keyed in. That was going just fine, too, until I came to a new member. Okay, add name. Fine. Now add payment. That seemed okay too, until I printed the thank you note. Oh...no. It had some other organizations name on it. A check of the record numbers...They match. How can that be. I spot check of the new congressional names...they, too, each share a record number with an organization that had been keyed in last summer. Okay, the names I imported were good from January 8th. The payments were from around May. HELP! I wanted to spend the weekend getting some state legislatures updated too! MY BOSS wants to do the newsletter next week! Oh MY I'm going to die! Can I go ahead and just update the legislators as long as I don't add any new names? (Just reuse the records of retired legislators??)
