Dave, what if I modify the Pymt Frequency field so there is no calculation? I enter whatever I need in there and forget about the niceties. Because it is clumsy to have 3 - 5 entries per person for a multi-year gift. I've looked at the Pledge Report and I don't see that field in play there. It shouldn't be a problem. Might there be a problem with changing that field that I don't see? Anyone?
