You are right. That is not how I did it. I redid my work last night. I created a false marriage type called Junk, gave to some marriages in my DB. Then I went to the search and replace screen, put Junk on the top choice, went to the bottom choice, hit the spacebar once, back spaced once. In the choice list I chose Exact, then ran the program. It changed the name Junk in the marriage type list, (not any of the marriages), to blank. Then I went to the marriages I had put 'Junk' in, all were cleaned up. Junk was not in the list of choices under anyone or anywhere.

I just tried that, and it looked familiar...like I had tried it earlier. So, this time it did not give me an error. Said 1 replacement was made. I did a Search on Relationship to Father (213) and Relationship to Mother (214) = "Natural" -- so I guess 1 replacement was made...? Tried again and used "Replace All" -- 2 replacements made, but my 2 searches yield the same counts. I just don't think this is working. Of course, the field I'm doing Search and Replace on is "Lists-Child-Parent Relation" -- I'm guessing that means in the master list, not in the various children lists...? Looking at the master list, though, nothing has been changed. Thanks, though. --Paula PS-I cannot change the "Natural" to blanks and then combine. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rich from LA CA" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, January 16, 2005 6:23 PM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Global Deletion #3 I just remembered what I did for a similar thing. I had put 'bad dates' on all marriages with an abt. What I did was go to the Search on the 'File' bar. Open Search and replace, find the choice from the menu, using List-Marriage Status. I then replaced all with a Spacebar but backspaced. Worked like a charm. Above LMS is the child-parent stuff. Save before trying.

However, it will not let me combine a record with the Legacy blank record. I did try this many months ago - glad I had done that - would hate to think I had been doing the corrections the old fashioned way all this time for naught! ;) --Paula ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lill Ann Parry" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, January 15, 2005 4:56 AM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Global Deletion #3 Right mouse click on the children's names in the family view and select Childrens settings. Click the down arrown on the Child Status field In the box that opens, highlight Natural and click the Combine the.... box at the bottom The click the EMPTY row at the top of the window and click Highlight the destination box at the bottom. If you have more than one, you can combine them first then remove or remove each with the process described above.
