Thanks Walt. By made a dues payment I mean simply individuals for whom a dues payment was *posted* in 2001. (Not interested in expired members.) Your second paragraph below is more in the direction of what I was trying to do. Only, I did a Find for *all* Payment For entries (Dues, Contributions, and Event/Purchase), and then wanted to do an Omit *Dues* Payment For from that Found Set. That's where I ran into the problem of the disappeared modify/create window. Both of these queries (1, find all payments after 1/1/2001 and 2, omit dues from previous found set) use fields in the payments file. If this approach is OK as a multiple find, does the absent modify/create window indicate something wrong with the the software? Henry
