Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] When a persons name is unknown?
I like that idea, Dave. Serves several purposes handily.
On this list there are proponents of [--?--] instead of Unknown or a blank space. Would anyone care to comment on the
pros and cons of Dave's method vs. [--?--] I am about to undo all my [--?--]'s and adopt Dave's underlines. -- Alice

I prefer to use 6 underlines for the missing name(s). It cannot be confused with anything else, clearly shows that the name is missing, works nicely on web pages, and leaves an underlined gap in reports where the correct name could be written-in.
Cheers, -- Dave N.

when the first or last name of a person is unknown, is it better to
write unknown in the empty field in legacy, or should it just be left
empty.
