Hi. I just converted over to ebase and am trying to teach myself as I go. I am converting my information from a Microsoft Works Database. I was fairly successful in converting over my names and address data (although it seems to be very time consuming because all records need to be checked). The problem I am having is with importing payment information into ebase. We have membership records for 1998,1999,2000,and 2001. All we keep is the amount of the membership and the date that they renewed/became members. I want to bring all of this information into ebase, but it seems like I will have to import each year's data separately beucase there is only one amount and date add field. Am I correct in thinking this? I attempted to import just the 1999 records (some of which are blank) of a small part of our database and could not get the data imported. Before the final import when I checked for problems it said that there were no matching record numbers. I had entered in a number in my database for all my data and imported that when I imported the names and addresses, so I thought that that would suffice. My final question is about the legacy source code - when entering you are given three choices, perhaps I am misunderstanding an important part of ebase, but I do not understand this part. Thank you very much in advance and I apologize for the length and number of my questions.
