There were too many to go through checking that box on everything. I've decided to use between .. and .. and know that it means the decade, approx. I think it's something that needs to be considered, as often we can only remember about what decade something happened. I also would like to be able to put early or late 60s, for instance. Better than something even more vague. But with that I'll have to tell it to ignore the warning. Seems you have to repeat "verify date validity" or some such for each child, as well. Which means other dates will not be checked, presumably. Similarly Qtr ended - government searches give you that - doesn't seem any way to handle that, other than tell nit to ignore.

Is there anyway to tell the programme to accept a decade, like 1960s?What you might want to enter rather depends on exactly what you mean. You could put "1960-1969", but to me that implies an ongoing process taking place during all that time. You could put "abt 1965" but you might feel that implies 1964-1966 rather than a wider time period. You could put "after 1959" or "before 1970" but that might suggest a wider time period option. The simple way is just to tell Legacy to ignore that particular problem by right-clicking the problem icon and selecting "Check for valid dates" on the Problems tab. -- Jenny M Benson 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://support.legacyfamilytree.com Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
