Still working one this... If you have an event called [[Occupation]] and place "Teacher" in the Description, it shows up okay on the Family View, but it also shows in the Chronology, although not in the reports. This makes it a duplication in the Chronology... Kathi

Yes, that sounds like it might work. Don't know if I want to go to all that trouble to transfer occupations for 6000 or so people, although it might solve the other problem of naming more than one occupation at a time on the Family View and Index View screens, yet still getting the notes and dates to show up separately in the Chronology and in reports. I'll have to mull this over...

You can bracket the Event name [[Occupation]] and change the Event title to read Trade, so what you get is: Trade [: shoemaker, bookbinder, tanner] (with the brackets indicating the field) No way around the colon, but you should have plenty of room for words. I would create a second event [[OCC]] just for this so you can string as many jobs as you can (as above) for a person, rather than have to use just the first Occupation Event in the list. I see no re-setting of the Event name on close/re-open if I have saved the change.

If I choose to leave the Event word blank, the word "Event" is, as I said before, reset every time you close or save. If I place something like "Occ" in the blank, it prints out as "Occ Occupation," which is wrong/redundant. I can choose to put a period in the blank, but then I'm still left with nothing in the field name except the period and with the word Occupation in the blank where only the occupation names should be, i.e. taking up valuable space, like I said. I don't see any way to get the word Occupation to move over to the field name...

If you can handle a cryptic event name, just rename the occupation event to "." or something else.
