Thanks for the input.I have avoided estimated marriage dates because with some it would be pure guess work.HOWEVER, prompted by Marys suggestion I put #1 or #2 in the marriage dated field. I thought it would be rejected as an incorrect date format but it wasn't.The chart boxes are now in the marriage order and show the #1 and #2 on the date line.The problem is solved but it would have been so much easier to be able to tick a box to indicate the order of undated marriages.Thanks againSandra

It makes no difference, the boxes still read in the same order across the generation line. I only have this problem with the few couples who I don't have marriage dates against so the program must be making some kind of assumption about the marriage order. It's not the RIN or MRIN either, because they are entered chronologically. Any other suggestions?Sandra --- On Wed, 12/12/12, Pat Hickin <[email protected]> wrote: From: Pat Hickin <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Charts To: [email protected] Received: Wednesday, 12 December, 2012, 2:03 PM Or you can click on the spouse, which brings up a little box of spouses, then move the highlighted spouse up or down using the black arrows in the lower right corner.
