Answers.Text: Thanks Peter. It is confusing isn't it. Generally my clients rename Current to Active and that's what I use for membership searches typically. I was giving a tutorial yesterday on editing smart group criteria and that's where I came upon the "Active Member?" bit. It seems redundant.

  There is a setting in each MEmbership Status where you decide if a Status should be considered 'current' or not.
  
  ```
  Current Membership? 
  Should this status be considered a current membership in good standing.     
  EXAMPLE: New, Current and Grace could all be considered 'current'.
  
  ```
  
  It is confusing that 'current' is used in two different ways.
