Eileen,
Are these (Donations, Large Donations, and Large Cash Donations) three
fields in your database, or do you have a DonationType field which contains
these as values, and then an Amount field that contains an amount?
I would think it would be better to structure your table with a PaymentType
(Cash, Check, Credit, ...) and an Amount field. Then, you could redefine
what Large means whenever you want and still query your databse to identify
contributors by any type/size donation.
