Hi Michel I had exactly the same when I started with Legacy 4 The easiest way is doing it in Access 2000. The data is stored in tblER: the notes are stored in the field "Desc", the description is stored in "Description".
1) Backup, Backup, Backup 2) Select the entire column of one of the two and copy it to a safe location (Word). You will see a table appearing in Word. 3) Select the second column, copy and paste it in the first column 4) Select and copy the data from the first column (in Word put your cursor in the table and from the menu choose table>select>table) and paste it over the second column. Advice: practice first with (a copy from) the sample database.

[So, when I export a gedcom file, others genealogy software often do [not recognize the occupations in my file, sometimes they put it in the [general notes. [The mistake is the following one, for more than 500 people in my tree: [I put the occupation name in the event's "note" field, instead of [placing it in the "description" field. [Would somebody have an idea about moving the profession's name from [the field "note" into the field "description", without making that 500 [times manualy ?
