the emails concerning this topic have been going on for about a year now actually... but i've gone through some of those emails and have different questions about this issue:
i'm working on sending out yearly charitable contribution statements and have tried unsuccessfully to use the "last year $" field on the home screen. (i'm using ebase 1.02) the reason (i'm 99% sure about this) that my last year $ field is incorrect is because i believe it references the post date for payments, not the deposit date. this is a guess based on looking at peoples' payments. the calculation for "last year $" in the names file is "Sum(Payments Last Year::Amount)".... i'm not exactly sure of how i could change this to reference the deposit date, or the ramifications that that might have on any other fields that are somehow involved. any ideas? ps i've run replace all find fields (and do regularly), have made sure the fiscal year is set correctly in the setup wizard, and have fixed the 1.02 bug in the current fiscal year field.
