How did I miss that. I was only testing the Timeline sub-program, but since I chose the BC (Jesus) date in my timeline choice I am being told each time I view my person I get the error message 'Unrecognized date'. It should recognize any date it put in?! Rich in LA CA --- Cathy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Thanks, Cathy. I do enjoy the historical analysis, so I'll ask staff to consider fixing the "B.C." process. Judy I can't get it to accept and fully process BC dates. Judy, if this is important to you, I suggest you put in a bug report on it. It's of no interest to me as I don't use Legacy

I set up a test case to see how it works. I named the person Test Test. I put the birthdate as 0030 B.C., baptism as 0010 B.C., death as 0060 and burial as 0061. A message came up guessing (wrongly) what I meant. I read the help screen, which says to remove the check. It worke perfectly, with the
