Re: Eliminating a Fund # and transferring the funds to new f

I have a fund called Easter Giving. We have recently begun a fund called Seasonal Giving (for all holiday contributions). I would like to transfer the funds from Easter to Seasonal and then delete the Easter Fund number. I know I can do this by individual members, but is there a way to do all of th...

Re: Pension Act of 2006

The Pension Act of 2006 (passed Congress in August 2006) has amended the tax code to the extent that cash contributions must be substantiated by either a bank record (cancelled check) or written receipt from the charitable organization/church. This places a significant burden on our contributions c...

Re: PCP 9.0 E-Mail Statements

I run PCP with latest MRs on WinXP SP2 using a P4 3.5GHz machine. I prepared third quarter giving statements to be emailed within PCP. While I asked for full details to be sent, and indeed, that is what prints out for those of our congregation who do not have email addresses listed, what has been s...

I understand that the data could be converted for a fee. But I need to know if the data could be converted by hand through the import and export mechanism. 1) First, do you have some kind of import mechanism that an external file (a csv, an excel, a tab delimited, or access) could be brought in at ...

Thanks for the suggestion. I see I forgot to give vital info, such as version 9 and WinXP, but it looks as though the specific thing I was hoping to do is not possible anyway. In your old church, Neil, did you have a way to indicate that someone had been trained but hadn't yet submitted their paper...

Re: Posting to a closed month/year

Our church is currently using PCP version 9 (maint release 11/05) under Dell machines with Windows XP Professional. I was asked to do an extensive audit of the church books. I discovered that the church and parsonage mortgages have not been amortized since 12/31/03. I have the amounts, but I can't ...

Re: How to import members from Excel ?

We have our member list information details stored inside an excel file (which could be easily be converted to a comma delimited, or a tab delimited file). Is there a way to import that file into the membership table of powerchurch ? P.S. We can format the column names and order if needed. Thanks. ...

Re: New user question

My church just purchased power church. Our secretary uses access now for our labels. Can we transfer that information directly to pcp or is it easier to reenter everything. There is no direct way to transfer that data into PC+. I know that for a fee, the Powerchurch office will convert the mailing ...
