It's not the date modified - I already checked that out. The dates that show up without events attached are marriage events (without any event name or description), but I can't tell what the ones are that appear in the search routines because when you go to the records that come up, those dates are simply INVISIBLE. Weird, weird, weird. Maybe I should try opening up MS Access and see if I can go deeper into it ? But I didn't see anything in ITools that might help unless there is something in the raw SQL stuff that Dennis helped me with a few weeks ago.
