Jack, The Potential Problems Report is a separate issue.
The program response Susan described is a combination of the options set on the Customize screen (Options --> Customize), Data Entry tab, Adding/Editing section: "Check for Problems when saving an individual" and, Presumed Dead section: "Set as dead if over ***" Steve --- On Wed 08/24, Jack Earnshaw < [EMAIL PROTECTED] > wrote: From: Jack Earnshaw [mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [email protected] Date: Wed, 24 Aug 2005 18:41:52 +0100 Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Potential Problems bug on death age options? Susan That means you have set the Potential Problems Report options to "Warn if Death after" 82 years old, and so that is exactly what it did. This is not the same as the options in Data Entry to warn (or set as dead) if their age is over a certain figure. Jack From: Susan Daily [mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [email protected] Date: Wed, 24 Aug 2005 10:54:30 -0500 Subject: [LegacyUG] Potential Problems bug on death age options? I am still running build date of 4 Feb 2005 Legacy 5 deluxe on Windows ME. I ran a File Maintenance check/repair. I just temporarily changed some option settings as follows, and it is now generating a potential problems pop up every time I "save" an existing individual who died at an older age as noted. These individuals already have birth and death info entered. I have under Options ->Customize -> Data Entry to set as dead if over 82, if there is no death date [was set to 100] and ask if living if over 78 [was set to 80] Example of pop-up: "Potential Problem" Born 29 Jul 1842 and died 29 May 1927 Death Date after Age 82 The Death date shows that this person died after the age of 82 years. Verify the dates. Do you want to save this information? [v] Always check for Potential Problems [Yes] [No] Has anyone had this happen? What is this error message? A bug? It shouldn't be asking me since the dates are entered (hence "if there is no death date" shouldn't apply). Plus, it should simply be duplicating the fact the person is dead, and not even needing to ask. If this is a bug, was it corrected in a later build? [I looked at Legacy troubleshooting guide and archives but didn't see anything related. I could have missed it, though.] Thank you. Susan _______________________________________________ No banners.
