Donor Appears Multiple times in "Unthanked Gifts" report
Posted: Tue Oct 06, 2009 3:50 pm
Hi John,
I've had this problem for several versions of DM, so I'm finally posting it. When I run an "Unthanked Gifts" report, I get a wierd repetition. If I have two donors with the same last name, instead of listing all the of "Joe Smith" gifts under his name (let's say he gives monthly) and then "Tom Smith" with his gifts, I get Joe Smith - January, Tom Smith - January, Joe Smith - February, Tom Smith - February.
This wouldn't be too much of an issue, except that I have about four or five sets of donors with the same last name - so my reports are usually 3 pages longer than they would be, if this error wasn't occuring.
I can email you a PDF of one of the reports if you need to have a closer look at it.
It's an endurable bug - since DM is free. But if you ever get that 25th hour in your day...
Serving together, Marty Lange
