It does create a marriage record (tblMR) with an MRIN. Just look at the bottom right corner and you'll see H: noNumber M: theMRIN W: noNumber. The marriage record created points to IDIRHusb = 0 and IDIRWife = 0. The zeroes mean "Unknown". It does NOT create individual records (tblIR) for the "phantom" husband and wife. So the Name List will not show the "phantom" parents. But the Marriage List will show a "phantom" marriage. The reason you do not see an UNKNOWN/UNKNOWN marriage in your Marriage List is because you have "Word for Blank Records" set to "just leave it blank". Instead, your Marriage List shows a (blank)/(blank) marriage. -- Dennis Kowallek (LTools) http://zippersoftware.com/ltools http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ltools Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
