This problem has me baffled and I can't figure out if I'm not doing something correct or what. The problem occurs ONLY with User Defined Events and the DATE on those User Defined Events. Searching on a DATE parameter of any of the built-in events seems to work properly so it must have something to do with User Defined Events.
For example, I have a User Defined Events named "Cemetery". I have multiple events created that have no Date entered on that Event. I would like to create a SEARCH LIST of all those Cemetery events that don't have a DATE. The procedure would seem simple: 1. Look For: Individual 2. Where to Look: Event-Name 3. How to Look: Equal To 4. What to Look For: Cemetery (because this event was previously created, its name will automatically appear in the drop down list) Second Condition, AND 1. Look for: Individual 2. Where to Look: Event-Date 3. How to Look: Equal To 4. What to Look For: (leave blank) I've checked Clear List before Search so that I would come up with a new list. I probably have close to 10,000 Cemetery Events in my Family file and there are probably 1,000-2,000 of those that do not have a date. I was hoping that my Search List would contain only those 1-2 thousand events without a Date but instead the Search List includes all events that have "After" or "Before" as part of a date, i.e. "After 1900". In other words, Legacy is seeing any date with any text preceding it as a "Null" entry. I've even created a very small test file with User Defined Events and Dates with After or Before in the Date field and each Search List will include those text entries instead of only events with a truly null date entry. To make matters worse, the same search list will also include some, but not all such events, that have a valid Date entry such as "21 Aug 1900" when they shouldn't be included. That one I can't figure out at all. Is this a bug with User Created Events or is there another way to obtain my Search List with only null dates on the event?
