****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.

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

Select Distinct Youth.firstname, Youth.lastname, Youth.address, Youth.city, Youth.state, Youth.zip
From "Youth2a.db" Youth
Inner Join "Youth2d.db" Youthproj
On (Youth.MemberID = Youthproj.MemberID)
Where ((Youthproj.projectId  = "139" or Youthproj.projectId = "140")
And (Youth.Age >= "8"
And Youth.Age <="13")
And Youth.Category = "M"
And Youth.Status = "R"
And Youth.sex = "F")

****Is there a SQL to pull members with no projects assigned?

        AND  Youth2a.Category IN ('M', 'C')
