RE: [LegacyUG] Unused Surnames
Thanks, Jenny! I didn't look far enough down in the Options list to see that command. I'd still like to know why the Used flag in tblNR is 0 when the surname is in fact used. This is contrary to the Y/N bit (1=true, 0=false). -Original Message- From: Jenny M Benson [mailto:ge...@cedarbank.me.uk] Sent: Sunday, January 06, 2013 5:33 AM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Unused Surnames On 06/01/2013 10:26, M.

[LegacyUG] Unused Surnames
I am trying to find surnames in my database that are not being used. If I don't know the maiden name of a woman, I enter her surname as [[Smith, wife of John]]. Once I find her maiden name, I update her record accordingly but I know that I may not have gone back to the Master Surname List and deleted the temporary name. I would like to clean them up now. If I run the Surname Summary list, these surnames don't show up in the list and I suspect that they might be included in "No Surname". If I open the database in Access and look at tblNR, I see that there is a column for "Used". I thought that those not used would have Used = 0 but this is not the case. Some of the ones that are used also have Used = 0. Can anyone provide some insight into this? Thank you!
