That's not how my copy behaves. I can run through the letter wizard, including creating a contact record, and the Contact Info Edit Date remains unchanged. If I change one of the pertinent fields, the date changes to the current date. You're right, something else is going on there, but it's non-standard. The field Contact Info Edit Date should be calculated with the following formula: If(CONTACT INFO = CONTACT INFO,Status(CurrentDate),Status(CurrentDate)) You have something different? -- -- 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
