Steve, when you're looking for a date, the options "starts with" and
"anywhere" are not on the list, so make sure you're searching the date field
for an individual. Have you used the option "contains"? If you still get no
results, have you looked at a person's information that you know should come
up on the search results to verify you have the information entered
correctly?

I just don't understand it no matter what I try it just doesn't work.
I get no results even by putting the 'Before' or 'after' in.
I've changed the Exact, Starts with & Anywhere in field buttons but still no
luck.

Steve:
What is the criteria that you used and how did you do your search?
You will have to use two conditions as follows in the Query by Example Tab:
Primary Condition:
Individual, Death Date, After, 31 Dec 1982
Second Condition:
And
Individual, Death Date, Before, 31 Dec 1983
This finds all people who died in 1983.
Hope this helps.

I have a bit of a mystery, I did a search in Legacy 7 for people who died in
1985 ( I know of at least 3 in my tree including my father)
I put 1985 in the 'Died' box but I got "No records were found that matched
this Criteria"
I tried other years that I knew people had died in like my grand parents
other names came up but not my grandparents.
It just seemed to miss certain people but show others
Anybody else experience this problem or might know the cause?
