I have been given four Excel spread sheets with membership information on them - current members, lifetime members, expired members and non-member donors. Each name has a unique number - unfortunately not totally sequential as the former data base had been corrupted and redone at least once, maybe twice. It would please me to be starting all over again with totally sequentlial numbers. Do I understand correctly that although I import the old ID numbers, ebase will assign new ones? If so, where are the old ones stored - are they visible or must a search be made for them - ie will ebase display two id numbers? We do not have a joining date but do have an expiration date. I see no corresponding field in ebase - have I missed it?
