I'm creating a smart group of current members. Using the Advanced Search I can make a group of people who have new/current/grace memberships. However, in relation to deceased contacts, the only option is to search for people who died in a date range. I'd like to have the option of excluding people who are deceased (regardless of date), but that negative option doesn't seem to be there. How do I do this? There is a tick box in each contact record, so the data is there....

Sorry if its in the documentation and I can't see it.

Thanks.
