Legacy will allow this as Between 6 Nov 1905 - 11 Nov 1905
I have several dates like this Matt -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Donna Newell Sent: Friday, January 14, 2005 4:08 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] adding a - to a date Importance: High I have tried this every which way and the only way I can get it to work is to right is to type between 6 - 11 November 1905 , or I have to do between 1905 and 1911 If I try to do 18 Feb 1657-1658 It shoots back with 18 Feb 1658 It will not accept the two dates together but it will if I leave a space between them and the - What is really annoying is that Legacy use to allow me to do this.

It contains a slash, which is what Donna does not want. She wants "Bet Nov 6-10, 1900" -- well, really she doesn't want the "Bet " in there, but I don't think Legacy will change that standard. I think, however, Legacy should recognize its own dash vs. slash (vs. period vs. space) setting and display the date accordingly. Sherry?

I am trying to enter a date as, 6-10 Nov 1900, the computer program insists on 6/10 Nov 1900. What I am trying to get it to do is indicate that the event took place between the 6th and 10th of November in 1900. Is there a better way of doing it? Or at least one the program will let me do? The older versions of Legacy allowed me to do this.

The dash stays if you enter 7 Nov 1876-8 Nov 1876 (and can cope if you add the month in numbers and converts) It also converts / to - if you use the /during entry. but 7-8 Nov 1876 flicks to 7/8 Nov 1876 despite having dash chosen as separator and 7-8 11 1876 doesn't convert the 11 to Nov.
