Can anyone share with me their ideas of how they are linking up donor information from bookkeep software to the database? We are now doing double entry. We like to be more efficient about this.

Greetings from South Los Angeles, everyone.

I wanted to know if anyone could recommend a Video Conferencing program and if anyone had any success/failure stories in using such technology at their organization. Please post or e-mail if you do. Thanks!

Warmest regards,

I am trying to help another organization export all of the payment information and all contact information for all individuals from ebase. I'm not sure what I'm doing - or what I'm doing wrong - but when I get the payment file it does not match the names file. I don't know much about ebase, but I'm assuming that the 'contribution62' from the names file should match the 'contribution62's in the payment file. When I checked what's in the export against what is in ebase, they don't match. Does anyone have any experience with this? I am really not very familiar with ebase and I'm not even sure that I'm exporting the correct payment information. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Looking through the evaluation forms, it looks like a number of you had questions related to databases that you didn't get addressed over the course of the first COaTI session. If you have questions that you'd like answered, please consider posting them here.
