Have I clarified what I was asking ?? Thanks, Certainly :D That is something that will have to be a suggestion. You can also make the suggestion, because if an option is suggested and wanted then it will make the decision easier to include it. So although I am going to make the suggestion, if you w...

The file involved with the check reader process is called coscan.DBF and its formatted as follows: KEY (the routing, account, and check # encrypted), ENV_NO , LAST_CO I am unfortunatly not familiar enough with SQL to be able to give you those commands. There are some commands you could use through ...

In PowerChurch, if you go to Utilities and Database Manager, at the command prompt type use <table name> (where <table name> is the name of the table you want, like CO) and then hit enter. At another blank command prompt type list stru and it will tell you the structure of the table you just use d. ...

A selected restore would work fine. It would probably be better for you to list what specific information you are trying to keep and we can try and match up a list of files you need to restore. The other alternative would be to restore the whole backup and then delete old data under the modules you ...

Just to make sure I am following you, the backup you have is in version 8 and you are restoring into version 8 on the new computer and then want to upgrade the date on the new computer from version 8 to 8.5?? If that is the case you need to uninstall version 8.5, then open My Computer and browse to ...

You may want to consider using a custom report. You can create a tailor reports to your needs. There are examples or walkthrus of creating reports here and also some in the manual. We also have a custom report service here that can create custom reports. If you would like to go this route you can fa...

Like I said above, the computer I use to work on data with is not the top of the line computer and I have probably something like 4 versions of 6.2, 5-7 versions of 7, 5-10 of version 8, and 10 or so of version 8.5. I am not writing this from the office computer so can't tell you exactly how many bu...

If you have contributions unposted (contributions-->modify unposted contributions) you will be able to post under contributions. if the option to update fund accounting is greyed out for you then you need to look at your setup under contributions-->maintain list of contribution funds and make sure t...

To have it go to Fund Accounting you need to be choosing the update Fund Accounting Option question 2, if you go to Fund Accounting-->maintain check register-->fill out the options or l...

As someone who also works on customer data, I have 15-20 installations of PowerChurch on my machine and it causes no problems. When you close the Fund Accounting year all data from the previous fund accounting year is lost except unreconciled transaction at year end. The only way to view that inform...

To start from scratch you would have to go to Contributions and delete old data. Once you have deleted old data you can go back to Membership and Personal profiles and remove the envelope number from everyone and reassign as you please. Make a backup before doing this method. The other option would ...

Ok, now I see what you are talking about. The only way currently to get that is to run seperate reports for different dates, and you can limit the date on the report options screen and just run it for one particular date.

Your suggestion will be noted though as it sounds like a good suggestion

In version 8.5, when you run the Unposted Contribution it gives the report options screen where it has the sort options, and the available sort options are as follows: Data Entry, Envelope Number, Date, Entered By.

Those options are also available in version 8.

I believe the version of Visual FoxPro that PowerChurch version 7 was developed in will not work with to much memory. Here is the Microsoft Article . Newer version of Powerchurch are developed with different versions of Visual Foxpro and don't suffer this problem. Unfortunatly the only solution woul...

The only way you could turn off the pledge would be to change the dates to make it inactive. Alternativly, once a Contribution is posted you can go to Contributions-->view Posted Contributions, find that person, then find that Contributions and click change. There it will give you the option of unap...
