Giving Details --- errors cannot be deleted

Post by Dave Fessenden »

Under the "Giving Details" tab on the Partner Details screen, I find that some gifts which I entered with the wrong date and later deleted still appear! I have given them their own "fund" entitled "ERROR!" so I don't get them confused with the correct gifts. Thankfully, they DO NOT appear under the "Giving History" tab.

problem with deleted contributions

Post by jmuehleisen »

Thanks for this ... I'll check on this and see if I can figure out what might be happening here.

One short term solution ... try the /Tools /Pack and Reindex Table routine. See if that makes any difference.

Tried "Pack and Go" but to no avail

Dear John,

You said to try the "Pack and Reindex Table" Routine under Tools. All I could find under Tools was the "Pack and Go" feature. I packed the data, then restored it, but the deleted gifts still appear in the "Giving Details" section.

Dear John,

That post from "Dave F." was me. I'd just forgot to log in!

where is the "Pack and Reindex" routine ?

Post by jmuehleisen »

Hi Dave,

This is a common confusion, and it's my fault!

There are actually two "tools" menus ... one is on the "home page" ... there is a "tools" section.

But, the one I was referring to that has the "pack and reindex" is on the pull down menus at the very, very top of your screen .... the normal "pull down" windows menus /File /Edit /Reports /Tools.

That's where you'll find the "pack and reindex."
