****What
do I do if the 237 report
- lines 9, 10 & 11 do not balance?
- Those of you who were not able to balance the 237 report on line
9, 10 & 11 probably have members or leaders with a invalid primary
club code. To find out if this is the case run the following SQL:
Go in the youth program to File - Create and View Query
type in or copy and paste the following statements:
select distinct youth2a.memberid, youth2a.lastname, youth2a.firstname,
youth2a.clubid, youth2a.memberid + youth2a.clubid memberclub
from "youth2a.db"youth2a
where (youth2a.memberid + youth2a.clubid not in (select distinct
youth2xl.memberid + youth2xl.clubid
from "youth2xl.db"youth2xl))
and youth2a.category in ('M', 'C', 'S')
and youth2a.status in ('N', 'R', 'T')
order by youth2a.memberid
Click on Run Query
If a member shows up in the list, they do not have a valid primary
club code that is listed in the club membership list. Go to their
record, make sure that the code listed at the top of their record
is also listed under the club / units tab. Make the changes to their
file and you should be good to go for 2007. If you have questions
feel free to give me a call or send a email.

select run query. This query will list females ages 8-15 in projects
139 & 140.

Youth.city, Youth.state, Youth.zip
From "Youth2a.db" Youth
Inner Join "Youth2d.db" Youthproj

Where ((Youthproj.projectId = "139" or Youthproj.projectId
= "140")
And (Youth.Age >= "8"
