The FileMaker import function will work to accomplish the import, but the key is to match each payment with the correct names record. If you recorded the person's record number with the transaction you're set. If not, you'll have to dream up some way to match the payment to the person. If you have the address associated with the payment you can use the DupeKey, which concatenates part of the name, address and zip code, to establish a relationship to names. Other than that, manually looking up the record number for each transaction will probably take less time than posting them all. Then import directly into the payment file. -- -- Dave Shaw H4 Consulting tel: 206-954-7526 fax: 206-625-1338 ------------------ Reminder to each recipient: To change your list account preferences, go to http://email.sparklist.com/scripts/lyris.pl?enter=support and enter the email address you used to subscribe to the ebase support list:: [email protected] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- ebase - Relationship Management for Nonprofits, http://www.ebase.org ---------------------------------------------------------------------
