Gosh, I had the standard abbreviation qtr and it didn't work, didn't
occur to me that there might be another abbreviation in use.
Thanks.

Thanks. 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.

I'm checking my Potential Problems report and so many are due to approx
dates. 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.
