You're correct, I did use just 2 digit years on my import data.  Is there a
global action that I could do that would let me change all my import data
now in ebase (I only have imported data there at the moment)?

As for the view payments issue, I identified all my special events
contributions as "Payment For" Event/Purchase and imported them as such.  In
addition, I created a source code for each event on my legacy data using the
ebase scheme for such codes.  What is happening is that the purchase column
is not picking up these "Payment For" events but the data is in the system.
Guess I need to figure out how to spec up the "view payments" report so that
the "purchase" column reads the data that is there.

Thanks,
hgw

There is nothing to turn on about 4 digit year processing. You must specify
all 4 digits everyplace (except on hand data entry of year where 20xx is
assumed). Persumably you only had 2 digit years on your import records.

We don't normally use the purchases feature but I just added one to my
record (and subsequetly deleted it). It shows up on both the Payments Tab
screen and the View Payments screen. You need to explain more about exactly
what you did.
