Updating Address of a couple

Open the address tab of one of the spouses and you'll see that you can view the spouse's addresses too. Open the address you want to change, change it and save it and when you choose to update the shared addresses too you'll see the spouse's address change when it's saved.

If you did a data migration, it's quite possible that the spouse addresses are not actively linked.  

Fortunately, there's a plug-in to help you identify and fix these.  

• The information is in the Knowledgebase article 75215 but I've copied the relevant information below:

How to find linked spouse records that do not have a linked address

Article Number: 75215

Note : Before you proceed with the following instructions, back up the database. If your organization integrates multiple Blackbaud products, refer to the Additional Requirements section of the backup article.

Note: This plug-in is compatible with The Raiser's Edge 7.50.638 and above. The plug-in reports on all linked spouse records that do not have linked addresses.


To run the plug-in, follow these steps:

1.            Have all other users log out of The Raiser's Edge 7.

2.            Download REPUNLINKSPADDR.EXE.

3.            Save RepUnlinkSpAddr.exe to the local harddrive of any Raiser's Edge 7 workstation.

4.            Double-click RepUnlinkSpAddr.exe.

5.            When prompted, unzip the file into the \\RE7\\Plugins folder on the workstation. RepUnlinkSpAddr.exe is a self-extracting zip file that contains the plug-in files: RepUnlinkSpAd.dll and dobRepUnlinkSpAd.vbd.

6.            Register RepUnlinkSpAd.dll on the workstation.

7.            Log into The Raiser's Edge 7.

8.            Click Plug-Ins from The Raiser's Edge Bar. The Plug-Ins screen appears.

9.            Select Update Report Unlinked Spouse Addresses.

10.          Click Begin.

11.          Once the process completes, a dialog box appears with the location of a log file containing the results of the plug-in.
