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

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

Jenny, I used your event sentence as given. I've just done it again in 9.0.0.301 as I used the beta this morning. It's fine in both the preview and the report PROVIDED you've entered the date in the format and you've put your sentence [fromDate] [HeShe] attended [Place].[Sources][CR][Notes].

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

If your customised sentence just ended [Sources][Notes] as was the default, these are stripped out. If it ended [Sources][:if [Notes]::[CR][Notes]] It survives. Even just [CR][Notes] is enough to get the [Notes] left as part of the sentence. However, whether they print in a report is still
