Re: [LegacyUG] Problem with Quarter dates

Jenny, If your Legacy Build date is before 22 May 2006 then Legacy would report the date as an error. In the Build issued on May 22 the sorting of dates was changed. Before that an incomplete date (Which a Quarter date is) was sorted to the middle of the date range. Now we sort those to the

Hi Arvo, I don't think so. You need to be able to search on age at death to do this (presuming you don't mean living people.) If you are wanting the living you can search for those with birth dates after 31 Dec . Why not go to the Legacy Web Pages and add this as a suggestion? Cathy At 0

I have tried it both ways and now make it part of the Burial Location. An example: "Greenwood Cemetery, Hayward, Sawyer Co., Wisconsin". This results in lots of locations in Hayward, cemeteries, hospitals, churches, schools, etc., but gives the best result in reports as far as I was conserned.
