Our organization has its own membership numbers assigned to each member. Some of our contacts are old members who haven't renewed their membership, but retain their membership number, in case they renew in the future. We would like the website to look up returning (lapsed) members and bring in their data, including the membership number, and if they are not in the database, to assign a new, incrementing number beginning with the highest existing membership number. This would save looking up old numbers in an Excel spreadsheet to avoid duplication, or new assignment of membership numbers to people who already have a number. Thanks,David A. Coats
