This means that you have payment records with a record number corresponding to someone else's names record. The data is faulty, and you should go back to the most recent backup before the import that started this all. Something went astray in the import process and you will need to restore the orginal data set and try again. > >what do you get when you switch from the Home screen for one of the new >people to the "Payments" tab at the top of the screen >(not the "view payments" button which switches you to the Payments file)? >Are any payments shown there? > >When I switch to the payments file there are payments there as well and also >the same record number. >I really appreciate everyone's help on this huge mess.
