Interestingly, I'm running into a similar problem -- but just since the
change of the year.
The
client has updated all find fields, which hasn't made a
difference.
I
received a copy of her ebase and tried the same thing on my machine, which did
fix it -- but only on my machine. Since the client is several hours' drive
from my office, I haven't been able to compare machines,
etc.
We are
using the same version of FileMaker for Windows (4.1v1),
however.
You
may want to update all find fields (admin screen) without specifying a 'start
date' and see if that helps. You may also want to execute the HOME script
for every NAME record. This can be done with a short script; I can send
you an example if that'd be helpful.

Subject: [support] Re: "Last year $" totals incorrect
I performed a query to find all who donated >= $300 in 2001. Unless the people in this found set have already given in '02, for many the amount showing in "Last year $" is the amount from 2000. So, I have folks who never gave in '01 showing up when they shouldn't and folks that gave >= $300 in '01 but NOT in '00 not showing up on the list when they should. Ebase updates to the correct info once I hit "View Payments". Does Ebase not automatically update for the new year?

Yes, I had a client with similar frustrations yesterday - the "year to
date," "last year," and "previous year" fields seem to be buggy in 1.02.
Rather than spend a lot of time tracking down the bugs, I revised one of
the standard reports in the Payments file to meet their needs.
If anyone knows a simple fix for that bug, however, we'd be happy to learn
it.
TIA,
Allen
