I stumbled upon a way to get this info, and then my brain had something more important to occupy it.  Probably what to make for lunch.

I had this problem also this morning, but I found a way around. Click "About", click "Field Partners", choose any of those who are active, and then click "See all businesses from this field partner>>". After that you can search for any information you like. Why make it easy, when it can be complicated?

Robert, this is fine when I am just looking for a specific loan or even for all that MFI's loans.  But every day I have been trying to keep a tally on the loans "raised" to look for trends in disbursement dates (moving "raised" loans to "active") and posting the update on the forum.

So I have been going to the "Loan" button which defaults to all loans in "need" and change the sort option to "raised" and I got the full count.  Now I can't get to that sort at all.

Dan, it works. The answer is 918. Once you have all the businesses for the chosen MFI, you change "All" into "Raised", you delete the information in the search window and click "Search". Of course, it isn't the "normal" user friendly way, it's just a way around the problem, a way to get access to the required window. No EDP analyst could imagine that Kiva would run out of loans.

No EDP analyst could imagine that Kiva would run out of loans. 

Really?...

That was SOP in the early days.

Thanks.  I did some experimenting and found the same thing by trial and error.

Besides, the price is right on our advice!!!  No expensive consultant needed...
