Actually, can be a real problem.

In most instances, NO. (if contributor has webmail elsewhere, etc). But some find getting this type of information AT THEIR WORK email account (where most notifications go), to be a bit disconcerting. What would be nice would be to create a locked PDF document, or a password protected WORK file, for...

We deposit same day. But WOULD like renumber

I've seen something like this to help. Either an 'effective date', or another field in the database record. For instance, main key = envelope 1; Also known as key(snyonym) is 10001; during the program lookup of envelopes, it searches for the Primary key (1), if not found, it searches for the synonym...

Is this what I need in order to get the proper posnet barcode? Finally, if I have you guys CASS certify my list, what will I ...

Works great! Opter possible options for 'safe' backup stg

Thanks for adding those options into the Maintenance Release. Works GREAT. I added a directory share, and then mapped a drive to the same PC. Zip-zap-boom and the mapped drive pops up in the backup list. ------ So it's on disk as well. We have some extra email accounts with our service. So I just em...

The file version 8.5.195.0 is not shown anywhere, nor is the file creation date (09/09/2004 09:09:51pm). All that is shown is when the MR was APPLIED (which won't match any of the dates /etc in the PowerChurch site). Is the PCPlus9.exe program version or creation date shown for a user anywhere? Coul...

Using Powerchurch for more than just Contributions? LikeIt?

We are older users of PowerChurch, and have recently upgraded to Version 9. Historically, we have only used the Contributions module. Our Treasurers are using QuickBooks for the accounting aspect. Is there a way to bridge the gap and import QB transactions into the accounting modules? Is using Power...

OK. What is that unique number, and is it accessible?

I understand I can print the barcode field out, using that font. Our excel/word guy is asking it there is a way to just include that (regular, human-readable number on a report of his choosing?) It that number available? If so, how to get it. Do I need to export from the foxpro database, if so pleas...

Making name tags for church. How to get barcode# on nametag?

I like the barcode report for attendance. We are trying to get the same type of thing on our nametags. Since there is not a direct option to do this, we thought we'd export a file as text/csv something. Then our nametag guru would print off laser tags and we barcode software to have the persons ID s...
