Brian,
You may be right. I didn't test with the "date to date" formats. It's
not something I would ever enter. When I enter a range I specify whether
it's a from - to range or a between - and range.
So in my view, Legacy is wrong to accept <date to date> as a valid date
entry
You are suggesting that [FromDate] does nothing and is just getting the
"From" from my data entry. That's not exactly true if it's true at all
as now if [FromDate] is in the middle of a sentence it is giving a lower
case 'f' for from. This wasn't happening some time ago so that must be a
bug that was fixed. However [FromDate] also returns Between - and dates
correctly. [onDate] also returns from - to dates and bet - and dates
correctly but not <date to date>.
If you want a range to read correctly in sentences it would appear you
must add a range as from - to or between - and.

Cathy,
Did you also test the date to date format which is allowed as a valid
range entry format according to the Help file on Date Ranges?
If you do you will find the Legacy is NOT using From Date to Date, the
sentence will read "5. 15 Sep 1813 to 9 Nov 1813 he attended , , New
York, United States.
He was substituted for a man drafted at Cherry Valley, Otsego, New
York by the surname of Thomas. Asa was a private in Captain Ezra
[or Levi] Adams' Company of New York State Detached Artillery, in the
regiment commanded by Colonel E. H. Metcalf. He was drafted
at Cherry Valley, Otsego, New York 14 Sep 1813. Marched from
Cooperstown, Otsego, New York to Brownsville on Black [River], New
York. He was honorably discharged at Brownsville, NY 9 Nov 1813. His
discharge certificate was burned when his home burned.". In your test
the From is part of your date entry.

Jenny,
I used your event sentence as given.
I've just done it again in 9.0.0.301 as I used the beta this morning.
It's fine in both the preview and the report PROVIDED you've entered
the date in the format <from date to date> and you've put your sentence
[fromDate] [HeShe] attended [Place].[Sources][CR][Notes].
In the Sentence spot for Date and Place only AND haven't entered a
Description.
You have to modify the other sentences as well if you are sometimes
going to add a description to this event and sometimes leave out date
or place.
>From the Family Group Report (I'm using the Sample field and used the
existing Military event and changed the date and the Event Sentence
Definition.
5. From 15 Sep 1813 to 09 Nov 1813 he attended New York, United
States.
He was substituted for a man drafted at Cherry Valley, Otsego,
New York ...

But are you using [Date] in the Sentencetyping "from 26 August 1907 to
18 December 109" or using [fromDate] in the Sentence? I am using
[fromDate] and that apparently doesn't work for Brian, either.
