I too love the chronology feature, not only is it a great way to view events as they happened, but it a great research tool. I have always wished the report had more flexibility. Having to option to include any individual, and/or as many individuals in the chronology feature would be of tremendous value to me.
In the past, I have have created tables and make a chronological view. Legacy has done a great job by including this feature; I have always thought that the feature should add options to include anyone and/or everyone else in the database in chronological section. However, I never thought to ask them. FoBecause of the features and cost of the program I felt like I should just be grateful for what I'm getting and not push it. However, since it has come up ... add me to the wish list :) John -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jeaneth L.
