I have used Legacy for 10 years or so. I have never changed any of the date settings since I set it up many years ago. So what happen and why can I no longer use this format? I have always used - or / to enter dates. I am very confused with this problem. But since no answers are forthcoming..... I will sign off from the user group. Thanks to everyone that has answered and tried to help me.

I type as 17 Jun 1938-9 or 17 Jun 1938/9 and it shows up as.... > 0009-17 Jun 1938 . Just the input of a year it does not change. All the ate > slots.. Born, Bapt, Died, Buried is effected. Entering a date as dd Mmm yyyy/zz makes Legacy assume that you're entering a double-dated date. This is controlled by the double-dating options on the ates page of the options. To get Legacy to accept a date in this format, the first year *must* be before 1752. In the case of 17 Jun 1938-9, you are entering a date range in which the econd date is the year 0009. I think you should re-read the helpfile topic "Entering Dates in Date Fields", where a whole lot of information and suggestions can be found. -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg egacy User Group guidelines: ttp://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp rchived messages after Nov. 21 2009: ttp://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ rchived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: ttp://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ nline technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp ollow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our log (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com). o unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
