Is the GEDCOM export in PAF5 format or for Legacy?

Ron you wrote ".....for those who export their database via GEDCOM is that the shared event exports as a single event for the primary participant only. It does not export for those sharing the event." You are correct in that it exports for the "primary participant" however it also exports for all others that share the same event. I have checked this out for shared events, the GEDCOM contains not only the primary participant it even contains the events that are shared by others.

In L7 and before, you are/were able to copy an event and then paste the event to as many individuals as you wanted to. You were not "sharing" the event in the same sense. Rather, you were creating an event for each individual. The "share" event in L8 does not work the same way. You create the event once, and then you can attach (share) the event with as many individuals as you want. The main difference is that you are not creating a separate event for each individual. The new method is much easier than doing a copy/paste multiple times, but the downside for those who export their database via GEDCOM is that the shared event exports as a single event for the primary participant only. It does not export for those sharing the event.

And, while I do what the rest of you turn out to be talking about, I use the KISS methodology, which GEDs out nicely and has for years. This most likely means everyone misunderstood what I was wanting to do when I first asked a couple years ago. (shrug) Odd. No reply needed unless you want to gloat.
