The problem isn't with just that year date, it is happening throughout Legacy. I type as 17 Jun 1938-9 or 17 Jun 1938/9 and it shows up as.... 0009-17 Jun 1938 . Just the input of a year it does not change. All the date slots.. Born, Bapt, Died, Buried is effected.
I have looked in all the options for dates, changed the date. I have tried changing: "Dates displayed as" "Month Format" "Separators for numeric dates" are checked on dash but changing this box to anything else does not fix the problem. "Input format " The "Double Date" cutoff is not checked. "Date Checking" is not checked. I have ran the File Maintenance/Check/repair. Still there. I have closed everything out, shut the computer down, but still there when I turn the computer back on. I am unable to enter any information into any date slot without this date mess showing up.

Yes, I used the slash when adding a birth date as '7 Jan 1693/4' but came out as 1693/94. I have used that form before with no problem. I orginially typed 7 Jan 1693/94. Typing now and should be: 7 Jan 1694 but goes back to the 1693/94 each time. That's correct! In 1752, the calendar as used within the British Empire - and he USA was part of that at that time - changed from the Julian to the regorian. Conventionally, dates in the pre-1752 period ran from 25 March to the ollowing 24 March. Thus, after the calendar change, there was a problem in nowing which year a date in January and February was actually in. Was it 1693 r was it 1694. To help people know, a convention of double-dating was devised. his is what you see with a date like 7 Jan 1693/94. The fact that you're ntering the date as 7 Jan 1693/4 is neither here nor there, the conventional epresentation uses two digits for the second year, hence 1693/94. -- egards, ike Fry ohannesburg egacy User Group guidelines: ttp://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp rchived messages after Nov. 21 2009: ttp://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ rchived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: ttp://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ nline technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp ollow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our log (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com). o unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
