You are actually getting your sentence from the "If only Date filled" sentence. Proof... I created a new event called Test and entered two event sentences... If only Desc and Date filled: [:IF [Desc] :: [heshe] was employed as [desc] [ondate] :: [heshe] was not employed ondate]].[sources][notes] If only Date filled: here I then added the following event: eventname = test desc = [[none]] date = 6 May 1930 The resulting sentence read... Here So you are wasting your time creating these complicated sentences. -- Dennis M.
