When trying to decide whether AND, OR, XOR, or SUB is the right choice, sometimes I just draw it out on a Venn Diagram to get a visual of the right result set: en.wikipedia.org/.../Venn_diagram.

When I select the Reports Tab I do not see "Gift Preferences".

Where is it?

Good idea, Paul. You can also try using the caret (^) character in the field you want to delete. (See Knowledgebase solution BB108568.)

Very true! Each user should have his own login so it is easy to tell who did what, and the user should keep his password secure so no one else can log in as him. Locking one's computer when one steps away is also a good idea...

Here's one of my tips:

If you leave a field blank in an import file, and it will not override any values that may be in that field, but will leave them alone. If you want a value to be explicitly blanked out, then put in a "magic" value, such as 1/2/71 for a date. After the import has been completed, then use global change in Database Administration to delete this value.

This story also serves as a reminder to have a secure log in and password, so no one can change your user preferences while you are not looking.
