YIKES.
Dave, I already DID revise the field to list, Dues, Contributions, Spring
Conference, House Pins. We want an easy way to track events separate from
merchandise and the PMT FOR field is the most obvious.
GEE, I wish the Admin docs were clearer about modifying ebay. Sounds like I
could really screw up how the program operates due to ignorance.
At least, the doc could give warnings explaining what happens if you modify
certain fields. Or the program could lock fields that shouldn't be modified.
What other warnings can you give me before I make more mistakes?
Thanks,
Marion
