DM 5.60 can be downloaded

Version 5.60 is available for download here or by "Live Update."

This update includes the following:

  • A new gift importer for Christar Canada (the reports come as xlsx files, but must be opened in Excel and saved as csv comma delimited files first.)
  • A few bug fixes in the US Center for World Mission gift importer
  • An important bug fix in the general gift processing routines that sometimes caused multiple gifts from the same donor to be mis-handled.  Under certain circumstances, the program would process the first gift only and skip the other gifts in the same batch. 

In addition, I have several more gift importers almost ready for testing.

The DM 5.xx series is almost at an end as Donor Manager 6.0 is in a public beta testing period.   Get more information about the DM 6 beta here.

  • This beta includes a number of bug fixes in the partner listing sorting routines
  • Typos and screen labels too short
  • Additional fixes in the DM 5 -> DM 6 import routine
  • Fixes to report grouping
  • The new "is active" field is now available in the partner list filter screen, but not yet available for reports, labels, envelopes, etc.   That is coming soon.

You can find the beta downloads here.

 
Donor Manager 5.59 can be downloaded

Donor Manager 5.59 is available for download.

This update includes some enhancements to gift processing routines for some organizations, and tries to fix the bug in the "savefiletime" routine that caused occasional error messages for some users on program startup.

Also, be sure to take a look at the Donor Manager 6 beta (if you are feeling brave).  Don't use it for your "live" data yet, but you can see where the DM is headed.   It installs in a different folder and uses different data files (and will easily import your DM 5 data with just a click or two), so it can be safetly tested alongside a working DM 5 version.

 
DM 6 Beta 7 can be downloaded

Beta 7 is available for download.

This version has the first version of an Outlook 2007 -> Donor Manager name / contact import tool. If you have a bunch of names in Outlook 2007, please give this a test to see how it works for you and give me your feedback.

This also includes some updates to the WGM Snapshot Express gift importer to more completely handle phone and email address updates.

Feedback, suggestions, and bug reports are welcome!

DM 6 beta 5 is ready for download

Beta 5 of Donor Manager version 6 can be downloaded from the "beta downloads library."

This beta now has the "Live Update" (now called "Check online for program updates") working, so you should be able to get updates downloaded and installed semi-automatically.

In addition, the beginning features of the "groups" / categories has been put into place.  I'm not quite sure where I'm going with this, but the idea is to give you an unlimited number of "groups" or "categories" that you can put partners in (beyond the 10 "user lists" that DM 5 has).

Also, there are several bugs that have been fixed relating to the program not being able to find some databases and tables.

As always, feedback is appreciated.

Donor Manager 6 beta 4 can be downloaded

If  you are one of those kind people who is helping to test the new version of DM 6, beta 4 is ready for download.

This beta includes a number of new gift import routines for various organizations that I just forgot to include in the previous update.

Feedback on the general "look and feel" is invited, as well as specific bug reports of problems that you encounter.

Thanks for your help!

Follow this link to download the beta.

 
DM 6 beta 3 is available

The third beta of Donor Manager 6 is available for download.

This update fixes a bug in the "link this partner to a church" routine that caused the DM to crash.

You can download the "full installer" if this is your first time to install the beta on your computer.    If you have already installed one of the DM 6 betas, then you can use the "Program Update" version ... it's much smaller and a much quicker download.   The full install is about 5.2 mb and the program update is less than 1 mb.

Bug reports and suggestions are welcome!

Download the betas here
