[support] Add Date

[Kathleen Ackley]

I would like to do a search of our database based on the date a record ( a new person/family) was entered.  I looked in the archive to see if anyone has asked a similar question and I see that in March, someone did ask the exact same question I have:   Posted by Stephen Bisk: "I would like to create a query which would include the date a record was first entered, but we have not been recording this info (I want to find people that have not given since 1/1/98, but have been on the mailing list for at least that time). Is there, by any chance, a field which stamps automatically the date the record was first entered? Any suggestions?" Carl Paulsen replied, "Try Add Date, displayed in the Query routine. That does what you want. Click on the Query button (which starts a Find script) and enter your range on the first screen of the query. Then you can enter 0 or a blank field for contributions and/or dues. Then execute the find."   Well, I tried this and it did not work.  It says that no records can be found matching that criteria.  Is that becasue we have never tracked when a new person was entered into the database?  Or am I doing something wrong?   Thanks, Kathleen Kathleen Ackley Development Director Hells Canyon Preservation Council 541-318-5963 www.hellscanyon.org ------------------ 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:: archive@jab.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- ebase - Relationship Management for Nonprofits, http://www.ebase.org ---------------------------------------------------------------------
