Re: [LegacyUG] Event Sentence

Brian, You may be right. I didn't test with the "date to date" formats. It's not something I would ever enter. When I enter a range I specify whether it's a from - to range or a between - and range. So in my view, Legacy is wrong to accept as a valid date entry You are suggesting that [From

Cathy, Did you also test the date to date format which is allowed as a valid range entry format according to the Help file on Date Ranges? If you do you will find the Legacy is NOT using From Date to Date, the sentence will read "5. 15 Sep 1813 to 9 Nov 1813 he attended , , New York, United

The fact that Legacy does not use the "From" to precede a date range when [fromDate] is used is the problem you should enter in Mantis. I can confirm that with a date to date format the sentence does not use "From date to date". Brian Kelly On 05-Aug.-19 2:59 p.m., Jenny M Benson wrote: On 0
