School Codes

As you're entering new young people into the Blue Ribbon program, you may find that your drop-down menu with the schools listed either isn't complete, or is TOO complete!! You can't type directly into that list from the member screen, but you can edit it. Enrollment time is the best time to do this, because you're going to be looking at each member's record anyway, so if you delete a school (spelling, probably) that was assigned to a kid, you can just assign a new one when you re-enroll him/her.

Under your File menu, you SHOULD find an option for School Codes. When you choose that, you'll see the screen shown below. You can type in the fields, add new records, and delete duplicate records (caused by spelling the same school name two different ways).

If you do not see School Codes under your File menu, go to the Utility menu, and choose File Utilities. Scroll down and double-click on Youth2xx.db. That will bring up the screen as shown below, and although it's a bit more "rustic", you can edit, add, and delete from that screen as well.

If you delete an unnecessary school, any record that had that school assigned will probably now have the school field left blank, so be sure to double-check that field as you're re-enrolling your members!!

Thank you for letting us know this. I had two new members this year that are in school that are no listing and I could not figure out how to edit that. As soon as I received the e-mail, I made the changes and cleaned things up. This is one thing that I needed to get consistent records of.
