I can't say for sure that you can export and import because I have not tried it but it is definitely worth looking into. Let us know how it works! *** I can spell, I just can't type.

Unfortunately they are Unconnectible. I hate to say it but BB really messed this one up and it catches users every time. You have to go to config to create the name of the letter and you think you should set it up right there but no, that only sets up the letters you can run one by one from the gift tab. To set up the letters in Mail it is ...

The only reason I can think of not to do it is that the formatting of the dupe criteria is very limited so you either get a very limited results (not catching all dupes) or get very open results (showing many that are not even close to being dupes) and both can be frustrating. I still use it but wish I could add multiple criteria such as LN ...

HM - Honor/Memorial (not necessary - you can get this either from the tribute module or the gift ...

I am concerned about the number of responses in this thread that warn people not to use dates on constituency codes. I never had such problems and found them to be very useful. If someone did not have an active constituency code during a timeframe and made a gift during that timeframe then there is something seriously wrong with that record ...

Also remember that query is not a reporting tool. Sometimes you can absolutely never rely on the output in query to show you what you need. What I would suggest is that you use a query to get your ghroup but then use a report to show the results - often this is the only accurate way to do it. *** I can spell, I just can't type.

Addresses are a funky thing. Contacts who have their own record get confusing. To my knowledge these address records are not by nature linked. These people can have a primary business address on their individual record and have a separate contact address which may or may not be linked to the orgs primary address. This can lead to 3 completely ...

I did forget about nametags. It is great to use the name tags field but then you can't (unfortunately) use the name tag field in event reports - the primary constituent will show on the registration list for example. *** I can spell, I just can't type.
