Shepherd's Staff 2022 Version (8.9), release 20221221

Fixed

CONTRIBUTIONS

  • When using the Distribute button in offering batch entry, it was putting incorrect amounts into the offering grid that did not add up to the amount given.  This problem would only start occurring later in the year and only for givers who had already met or exceeded their total pledge.

REPORT WRITER/MAIL MERGE

  • The field “Title+first+last” was not putting a space before the last name.
    • Important: To apply this fix, version 8.9 users must run “Reapply query changes”, located under the Login Utilities.

UTILITIES

  • After running MDB-Xfer on a database, when you opened Contributions and selected the Pledges grid, and chose to only include activity in the past 24 months, the following error would occur: “No value given for one or more required parameters.”  Running “Reapply query changes” under the Login Utilities would fix the issue.  The problem was caused by a query in blank8.mdb that was not yet updated with the latest SQL.  The blank8.mdb database has been corrected in this service pack.

Change

CONTRIBUTIONS

  • In offering batch entry, if you have started an offering row and have entered an amount, but you have not yet clicked Add to commit the row to the grid, clicking Save now displays a warning message. This should prevent customers from "losing" an offering if they forget to click Add before clicking Save.
  • Added an additional button to the Contributions sidebar for accessing the Windows calculator.
    • Note: Each click will launch a new instance of the calculator, so you can have multiple ones open.  Instances of the calculator appear in the Windows taskbar.
