Buy a seperate copy of Power Church for each church, licensed to each church. Instal each copy in a seperate dirwctory on your computer. You can give each copy anindividual name. It will work fine. I did something like this with our churches program, where I wanted to play with the setup of one copy...

Printing fund reports, I would like to be able to pick and choose on individual funds, like 1-5; 7-9, 15-20, not just 1-99 as in an earlier request

I can't help you with that, but if you want to dump MS Office, down load a FREE copy of OpenOffice 2.0. It does everything that MS Office does, is fully compatible, and its FREE!!! Download site is OpenOffice2.0.org

It looks to me as if most of these new members are Spammers. Just look at the info they gave in registering. No Church or religeous affiliation. Many have posted Spam or only invitations to visit a web site, many with very suspicious names or subjects in the site name. For example, the long post tod...

Might be its time to screen all posts or replies prior to allowing them on the forums. Not something i'd like to see, but there has got to be some way to stop these bad (expelitive deleted by sender) guys.

There is a new spam message on the Maint release board, dated 8/12/06.

I agree 100% with Neil. And always save a complete backup of the program version you are using, as data backups can only be restored on that version. For example, a backup made on version 8 cannot be restored on version 8.5 or version 9, only on version 8. Unless you have a saved full backup of the ...

I'm trying to delete individual funds, not accounts. Using the Delete funds the way you suggest would wipe out all funds, and restoring the backup would restore all of the funds, including the ones i want to delete. Some of the funds had one or two accounts assigned to them, but there was never any ...

We have several old funds that are no longer used. The funds report shows zero begining balance, (since we first started using version 9) and zero ending balance as of june 06, the end of our accounting year. I cannot find any transactions in those funds during that period, yet when I try to delete ...

It is not advisable for churches to hold donated stocks. Sell them and record the net proceeds as a donation.

I have been user of Power church since version 4(?).way back in any event. At first we just used it for membership and Contributions. Worked great back then, and still does now with version 9. We slowly expanded into using the accounting module, and use it for everything but payroll and school tuiti...

At present we use PC+ ver 9 to record all Church and School transactions, while the School uses Peachtree to do their internal bookkeeping, done by a part time School employee who functions as a bookkeeper in addition to her other duties. A report of all of the Schools transactions is given to the C...

I have had to restore my windows 98SE OS. Since then when I try to open PCPlus Ver 9, I receive a notice "Cannot locate the Microsoft Visual FoxPro support Library"
Will reloading the last maintenance release solve this problem?

In many of the accounting reports, you can select including just one fund, or selecting from "fund #" to "fund #". Our funds are set up in the sequence Fund 20, Church account. Fund 30, Church Restricted account, Fund 40, School account, and Fund 50, School Restricted account. There are also a few o...

Please remember to permanently save a full backup copy of the Power Church version that the original records were created in. For example if they were created in 8.5, save a copy of 8.5, as 9 cannot read 8.5 backups. When first setup, 9 can convert earlier version files to 9, but after that it canno...
