adding more demographic data

hi all,

is it possible to add custom fields to the demographic section? i want to collect info on race and it seems like i need to set up a new section for one field when it belongs in the demographics section.

what would i need to do to make it appear in that section?

You should be able to accomplish this by creating a custom version of the template which drives that form. Check out this doc:
http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Customize+Built-in+and+Profile+Screens

Then look at templates/CRM/Contact/Form/Edit.tpl - and you'll see the demographics fieldset and the include for the custom field block.

You'll probably also want to customize the contact summary page - which I think is templates/CRM/Contact/Page/Tabbed.tpl
