The answer to your question is yes. They should answer YES to the prompt, to delete the old enhanced data.
In essence, the process does a complete replace of the enhanced data, throwing out the old and importing the new. That way, what appears in ebase is only the current data.

Hi:
A quick question from a group in Florida.
They have just received their new list enhancement data from this year's projects. I beleive they have legacy list enhancement data on the system from last year. I think they're using a Mac, but I'm not 100% certain (I'm working off a pretty unclear voice mail message).
When they import, they get a prompt: There are records in the current enhanced voter file. Do you wish to delete?
With Yes/No/Cancel.
If they choose to delete, does this merely update those records with the new enhancements?
THANKS in advance.
Michael

Subject: [support] Re: exporting lists of donors
Searching for >0 in the $YTD field on the Home screen would be a good solution if you just want to thank the folks who have given this year so far...

I am trying to export the names of donors who have given in a certain period
so they can be acknowledged in our newsletter.
I'm having trouble getting the ranges to work -- and what I want are people
who have contributed no matter the reason (membership, regular contribution,
etc.)
I can't build a query from the payment screen that searches all donor
records rather than the records of a particular donor.
Finally, when I think I have a list by using the payment report option in
reports -- I can only print it, I can't export the data to be imported into
a newsletter list.
What am I missing? It seems that this is a pretty standard need.
Thanks to all of you who helped answer my many other questions.
