Robert, I can't help you with the integration piece, as we haven't integrated Raisers Edge and Financial Edge here. However, I can tell you that it is possible to run multiple Financial Edge databases on the same server.  We're doing it here.  We've got four different corporations (three not-for-profit, one for-profit ...

I don't think losing points is really an issue here.  You're talking about deleting unanswered posts.  If someone's contributor ranking is "at risk" because of this cleanup, have they really been contributing?  Or have they just been posting stuff that isn't useful? On some of the less-frequented forums, ...

It's been about five years since I've worked with barcode scanners, for retail use.  But I remember that the scanners were programmable.  The manual was full of barcodes to use in programming.  You just scanned one code and it went into program mode.  Then you scanned other codes to set various options.  ...

Hope, You don't have to change the $775 to $322.  It's already built into the calculations.  For a single person earning $7,180 or less, their tax is 0%.  Once they earn more than $7,180, they are now in the 10% tax bracket (but only on the income over $7,180).  Let's say this person earns exactly $10,400.  ...

I set it up as a new table.  Our payroll period started February 16, so I used that as the starting date of the tax table.  I'm guessing that Financial Edge will probably use the pay date to determine which tax table to use, but we like to record changes here on pay period boundaries for consistency.  Paul

Blackbaud now has something on their Financial Edge blog about this, but no indication of whether they're planning to release new tax tables.  Better plan on making those changes yourself... Here's a tip for the Advance EIC tables.  You only have to change one dollar amount for the "Married" and "Married both ...

I haven't heard anything about this from Blackbaud, nor have I seen anything on Blackbaud's website. But you don't have to wait for Blackbaud.  The IRS has published the new tax tables and you can start using them immediately.  You can update the tax tables within Payroll 7 yourself using the instructions in Knowledgebase ...

I had a rather miserable time with Aatrix last year (read about it in this posting).  Based on that, I decided to print W-2s in-house this year.  (We had 306 employees last year, but they were spread across three companies, so we don't have to e-file.) My experience was far better this year.  All the forms purchased from ...

Pat, I still haven't done my W-2s yet.  Now that you've had time to contact Blackbaud support, do you have any tips for the rest of us? Paul

Bryan, Can you provide the URL for the EFW2 file specification?  I'd be interested in seeing if there's a way to file directly with SSA.  After eleven years in this job, away from programming, my scripting skills are a bit rusty, but it might be good to exercise that part of my brain again. Paul
