Tips:
You should not delete an old address in SPAIDEN. If the student already has an address for the mailing type you want, enter an end date in the To Date field for that mailing type and then go to Record on the tool bar and select Insert to put in a new address for that mailing type.
Make sure to hit the save button on tool bar after you enter new information on each field for the student.
