Jenny, I found this thread in the archives and I notice there was no response that covered the points below.
1. There is an edit parents button on the potential problems screen, that opens the parents marriage information in case you need to edit the marriage info and that marriage screen has buttons to edit the husband or wife if you need to edit the personal information on one of the parents. Using those buttons/screens you do not need to exit the potential problems list to fix problems with the parent's information. 2. The potential problem check is a check from the person to the dates for their parents, that is why the report lists each child and not about the parent. Checking from a child to data on a parent is easier because of the structure of the database. If you think that a reverse check from the parent to the children which would report a problem with the parents dates related to dates for their children we are happy to consider suggestions for improvement. In Legacy 6.0 and 7.0 you can suggest a new feature by clicking on the link on the Legacy Home Tab Support Section Other users can make a suggestion here: http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/Suggest.asp Use the drop down list in the first box to select a category, Legacy 7 or Legacy Charting. Before submitting a suggestion consider the existing checks made about parent dates from the viewpoint of the child and make specific suggestions on what to check on children's dates from the viewpoint of the parent.
