You don't need to ad OS or NS - just enter a single date and Legacy will convert it to OS/NS. If you enter 2 Feb 1606, Legacy will change it to 2 Feb 1605/06, if you enter 2 Feb 1607 Legacy will change it to 2 Feb 1606/07 and so on. -- Jenny M Benson 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
