You are talking about getting the data into columns, not lines, right? I equate rows = lines. Hmm, I'd like to try. What is the first column where you have data examples? Is the first column the date of *when* you enter that person into Legacy? Legacy is so formidable, I'd bet it would not be difficult to do on your part.

Thanks for all your suggestions ... but I don't think any of them get what I want ... which is a separate line for birth, marriage, and death ... I do have Genviewer and think it's a wonderful program, but I don't see any way to get three lines for each person ... nor does the "print" option on the Legacy name list do it ... it'll produce one line for each person ... not the three I want. The idea is to get this: 01/01/01 Person A Birth Location A 05/05/05 Person B Birth Location B 01/10/10 Person C Marr Location C 10/10/20 Person A Marr Location C 10/10/30 Person B Death Location C etc, etc, etc. I'd be more than happy if someone can show me a way to achieve this within Legacy or Genviewer ... and without diddling around combining files or sorting them outside the program ... this'd be a piece of cake for the Legacy programmers ... I doubt that it'd take more than an affternoon ... since they already have the selection and reporting substructure in place. Using a .csv file means another program to manipulate that ... and probably separate files for birth, marriage, and death which have to be combined ... and then setting up print parameters to output it ... and adding headers, etc. The point of making it a new report is that it's then available to every Legacy user ... without them having to refer to a page of instructions or spending an extra hour to get the report done ... it's done once by the programming staff (which I know is overburdened). Just as a matter of background ... I worked with computers from 1967 (not a typo) until 1996 when I retired ... as a programmer, systems analyst, system designer, and software company owner. The point of this is not self-glorification, but rather that I did think it through and am aware of what is needed to accomplish this and where it might best be achieved. Users shouldn't have to diddle. Btw, I do admire Legacy, both for its abilities and for the responsiveness and availability of the staff.
