Sherry,
I'm changing the subject line here. In your reply yesterday, you wrote that
there have been some problems with the Q date format and those bugs are
being fixed in beta.
Other than the report output problems I stumbled upon, can you tell us what
other, if any, aspects of Legacy are
Jon,
The problem that has been fixed is the sorting of Q dates. These have
been fixed so that they now will always sort to the beginning of the
quarter they represent. Eg, June Q 1852 will now sort before 1 April
1852. Otherwise, if you had a Baptism from the IGI of 10 April 1852
and a
John,
Has the report output problem I reported been fixed or is that something new
to address?

Jim,
The Q date format was introduced to record a situation found in the United
Kingdom. Registrations are reported to the General Register Office on a
calendar quarterly basis and recorded in indices. Thus, a birth registered in
May
of 1900 would be recorded in Legacy as June Q 1900.

Have you also noticed (or you will with next general release...) that
incomplete dates will now sort differently? Before, if you had an
incomplete date - like 1900, about 1900, June 1900, about June 1900,
it would sort
Yes.
I thought that GR.83 did this. I was mistaken.
To use it with an existing database, Legacy needs to update the sort
date associated with each event and that seems to have held it up
from a GR when we found that issue.
It will come in the next build.

That was going to be my next question ... what did they do with embedded

Jon,
I was not following the thread until the topic name changed. I make
extensive use of Q dates in some of my databases and have not seen a
problem when creating a Descendant book report and using them in
birth/death or marriage dates. Could you please mail me privately
with a specific,

If I have a birth date of 1975, it is now stored in the tblIR.BirthSD as
19750701. This is what forces it to sort to the middle of the year. When
I eventually upgrade to the next GR, will tblIR.BirthSD

It is now my understanding that the Q date format problem in reports, i.e.,
the Q dates were not printing, has been addressed and will be included in the
next update.
