I have not had the experience of Legacy NOT converting dates to my chosen format (on the rare occasions when I enter them differently). Have you tried re-entering any of the "wrong" dates to see if Legacy then converts them successfully? Or run a Check/Repair to see if any "bad dates" are recorded? -- 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 Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
