The Address Changes dialog allows you to view the current entries in the CMD's Address Change File, a file used to track the changes to the addresses and phone numbers of those for whom it has been marked to track address changes. See the Settings tab page in Enter/Modify/Delete Names.

To view address changes, select the Address Changes item on the Clerk Menu.

This dialog displays the list of address changes made to your file. You can elect to view them in Date or in Name order by clicking the button for the sort order of your choice.

When a name is selected (the date or the name field will be highlighted), the areas in the bottom part of the dialog will display both the old and the current address information.

Note that address changes are only recorded for those families that have their Track Address Changes field selected on the Settings page of the Addresses tab page notebook on the Enter/Modify/Delete Names dialog.

We recommend that you clear this file periodically, perhaps after you've finalized and printed current clerk's reports. You may wish to scan this file before you print a clerk's report to make sure that there are no unnecessary entries in it. The program cannot discriminate between important address changes and unimportant ones. It only knows when any item of address information has been changed.

To delete a single entry, highlight it by clicking on it, then click the Remove Selected Name button. If you wish to delete a block of names, hold the Ctrl key down while you select to select more than one. You may also use the Shift key to select a contiguous block of names. Once you’ve made your selections, click the Remove Selected Name button and each selected name in turn will be brought up for deletion.

If your Address Change list contains many blank entries, click the Clear Blank Items button.
