Further to my previous post - I have just discovered another definition that is 'broken'. I have also realised that the common element is that I have used [GivenName] - not [FirstName] as I said initially. Now I've just checked and [GivenName] doesn't appear to be an option any more. Just checked a Help page I printed out many moons ago, and [GivenName] WAS an option, at least for report titles - and as I said it has always worked in the past in event sentence definitions. But it doesn't explain why, when I change [GivenName] to [FirstName] or [FirstHeShe] I am still not getting the end of the sentence. The only other element common to both 'broken' definitions is that I did use [-EventName]. But in the second example I'm not getting anything other than ..... Rene competed .... Forget that [GivenName] is part of the problem. Have just looked at another definition that uses [GivenName] and all is well. Yet in the 'broken' definitions I don't get any part of the sentence correctly until I change [GivenName]! I give up! Cheers, Jan

To be honest, I am not sure if I created the event from scratch, or if I modified the existing event definition. I am using the latest version of 6 Deluxe. Event – Enlisted If all fields filled (which they are) - [OnDate] [FirstHeShe] enlisted [inDesc] [atPlace].[Sources] [Notes] I know this definition has worked in the past as I have numerous hard copies of reports where it did work. Today when I created a Descendant Narrative Report all events seem to be working (as far as I have found while editing a 120 page report) except this Enlisted event. I did originally have [OnDate] [FirstName] [-EventName] [inDesc] [atPlace].[Sources] [Notes] and the resulting sentence read: On 5 Feb 1942 [FirstName] [-EventName] and nothing more! Remember, in this format it DID work in the past. So, I decided to redefine the event sentence definition, and replaced [-EventName] with the word enlisted because when I checked several other event definitions I don’t appear to have used [-EventName] or [EventName]. I also changed [FirstName] to [FirstHeShe]. Now I get On 5 Feb 1942 Baden enlisted ……nothing more. Cheers, Jan No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
