Gary, I was just setting something like this up this afternoon, where I wanted the sentence to read (using your name examples):
"Children of Seth and Irene (née SIMONSON) ANDREWS were:" I ended up using: Children of [HusbFirstName] and [WifeFirstName] (née [WifeSurname]) [HusbSurname] were: This worked and gave me the results I wanted. When I looked at the list of variable code in Help for reports, the WifeMarriedSurname and HusbMarriedSurname codes were not included in the list. When I tried them in my sentence (just now), as follows: Children of [HusbFirstName] and [WifeFirstName] (née [WifeSurname]) [WifeMarriedSurname] were: the [WifeMarriedSurname] was not substituted (it appeared as [WifeMarriedSurname] in the report while all the other thigs appeared correctly) so I will leave it as I first set it up. It seems this variable doesn't work in all sentences or doesn't work consistently.
