Clerk/Archive > Clerk Reports > Clerk Starting/Ending Dates

You must specify both a starting and ending date for the clerk report. You may print a report for any time period that you wish, however the clerk report printer will only print fully accurate reports during a current period.

If you attempt to print a clerk report for time periods that are long ago, the system may not be able to print it correctly. This is due to the fact the actual state of the membership file at the time frame you have selected may not reflect all those who were in membership at that time.

Archived names, names transferring in or out during that time, members added since the time period, all have to be exactly as they were during that time in order for the reports to be accurate.

Generally, you can print accurate reports from the time you begin to accurately record incoming and outgoing members onward. Do not attempt to go back before that date because you will not be able to accurately reflect church membership before that time.
