Oops, Mike...Mea culpa. Although I wrote "seems simple", I posted the wrong search method. Yes, I have done the search looking for the empty date on only a search list which contains a Cemetery event (as you outlined).
But, this was the problem that I was mentioning on my original post: on these User Defined Events, the empty date search is returning "After <date>" as a valid result. Using the 2 step method, Legacy is seeing dates that begin with text as a "Null" only on User Defined Events and not on any of the built-in events. Try creating a user defined event on two different people, one with a null date and the other with a text date such as "After Jan 1, 1900". Now do your 2 step search looking for a null date. The result will show both records instead of just one.

To get what you want, you need to run the search as two steps. Step 1 - to give you all individuals with a Cemetery event. Step 2 - working on the list from step 1, -- Regards, Mike Fry (Jhb) 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://support.legacyfamilytree.com Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
