Ron, I closed the program as I had read on the LUG that sometimes a person having problems were advised to try that. In the family view for Hugh & Eliz they have always had about. It is when I do a FGR for their children that the about changes to cir.
In the family view for Hugh Cochrane his birth is about 1815. In the reports, family group report he is about, his wife Eliza has about, his children are about. I do not have parents for him or his wife. In the family view for his son John Cochrane, I have dates for him, his wife & children. In the reports, family group report John's parents, Hugh & Eliza now have cir. I tried deleting the birth data for Hugh & Eliz and saving, then re-entering the about 1815 and about 1820 respectively. Still cir in the FGR for his son John. I looked at the FGR preview for some of their other children, Hugh & Eliza have cir. Before I would do the reset which is a pain I would just as soon take a dose of salts. Perhaps I should just send a disclaimer along with the report that the program I use will not print about for parents.

The changes of both to "about" stick for me. Ubfortunately the Dates does not have its own Reset button, otherwise I would suggest using it! The Reset at the bottom will reset all your settings which is a heck of a pain. Why did you close the program btw? When you make your changes have you had a look at Family View, if the two have been changed to "about" there then they should also be in your Report, can you check this please.
