You can enter a payment of $0 and make a note in the Payment For memo line.
If you need even more ways to find them you could add a category to the
Member type field for complimentaries. Also, if these people/organizations
gave some in-kind donation you probably want to figure out the dollar amount
and add another payment record with the same date as the $0 dues record and
enter that amount as a Contribution. That way they are tracked as a member
and as a contributor--full value for the money!
Lastly, for receiving a newsletter you will still need to check and uncheck
the box on Data Entry because--as noted before--the membership status is not
tied to those fields.

> I'm using Macintosh with FM Pro 5.0 and ebase 100.

> As a new user of ebase, I've been asked to make certain members
> "complimentary" members, due to their overall contributions. The
> purpose is to have our bulletins go out to these people even if they
> allow their memberships to lapse. I'm confused about changing and
> tracking these member's status.
>
> There is a calculated field called Doner type in Names which has
> values including "honorary".
>
> There's also a "mbr type" field in the dues section of the payments
> screen which can have the value "complimentary". If I change this
> value to "complimentary" the value of calculated field "status"
> doesn't change from "lapsed" to "current", so there's still a risk
> that these members would not receive bulletins if they were only sent
> to the members who's status field = "current".
>
> What's the best way to accomplish this, in other's experience?
>
> Thanks in advance for the help.
