Jan, I just looked at Report Options for all reports and none of those you mentioned are checked. It was the Descendancy Chart I ran. The people showed up on the chart as Private. When I found them and, after finding Living ticked, randomly checked everything in Family View. In Notes were the words (in big type) @Still [EMAIL PROTECTED] Legacy uses the @ symbol to bracket RINs in error reports from importing files, and perhaps in other instances I'm not aware of.
You have done a great deal of sleuthing. I thank you. -- Alice In a message dated 11/2/2004 1:23:48 AM Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Alice, I would check whether you have inadvertently made changes to your reportsettings. I've only checked out Descendant Narrative options, but under Report Options > Format you will see "Suppress details for living people"with a sub-option "Change name to Living". It also has the option to include Private individuals. If any of these are ticked it would explainwhy you are getting people called "Living" in your report. I would then check the people who are coming up as "Private" to make sure that you haven't inadvertently ticked the "Private" box on their individual information screen. I just tried Advanced Set Living on a dummy database, and by having the above options ticked was the only way I could get people to be reported as being called "Living" and or "Private". I certainly didn't happen just because I used Advanced Set Living. I removed known and / or estimated birth dates for some people born more than 120 years ago before I applied Advanced Set Living - and it all behaved as I would have expected. In fact, where I had no birth date, but DID have a death or burial date the option to change the "Living" setting was greyed out. This was true even if I only included a burial location with no dates. and no date of death.I am using October 26 build.
