Hey David,

How well do you know Filemaker?  
I've put a (fairly simple) customization in for several of my clients which will check 
for an open pledge whenever someone hits the Add Payment key for a record.  If there 
is an open pledge, the script will ask the user if the payment should be applied to 
the pledge.  Easy, and pretty foolproof.  Asking a volunteer to look up a key field 
used for internal relationship is probably not the ideal way to go about this.
Contact me off-list if you'd like more info on this method.

HTH,
Matt

I am resending this note because I didn't seemed to get any comment on it the first 
time I sent it. Anyone out there have any words of wisdom for me in working with ebase 
in this way?

Hi All, 

We have some volunteers that input our pledge information and payments. Every so often 
the enter a payment as dues but forget to apply it against the pledge or create a 
pledge for it. This is easy to catch but fix seems to require deleting the payment and 
re-entering it from the pledge screen. 

I have worked out an way of saving time by putting the pledge key field in both the 
pledge screen and payment screen. That way I simply look up the PLEDGE key and enter 
it into the payment. It seems to work but I wanted to check to see if there is 
anything that I am missing in this approach to correcting the above input error. Do 
you have any comments on this?
