Field doesn't exist

[Gary Yonaites]

Is the variable thisDonorID a fileglobal in the first file? If so,  
when you open the "donation" file it will be out of scope in that  
file and will be missing so Panorama will but up the error message  
"Field or variable does not exist." If this is the case make  
thisDonorID a local or global variable and all should be well.
