True. The sentence override holds 255 characters. Don't forget, this is the place to override the default *sentence*, not create a whole paragraph or essay <g>
>From the Help file on this: "Overriding the Master Event Sentence (Deluxe Edition only) There may be cases where the sentence definition for the event you are using does not produce a sentence that is exactly right for the current entry. In this case you can override the master sentence by typing in a new one on the Sentence Override tab. If anything at all is entered into this override field, it will replace the event sentence generated for this event record only. You can type the sentence using the exact wording you want to see or you can use the available [fields] to represent the event field entries above. (See Add or Edit Event Definition for more information on doing this.)" Your reminder to add the [Notes] code is excellent, Gail! Thanks for using Legacy.

What I do is put in a basic event override sentence and then add the code [Notes] to the end. From there, I can continue as long as would have been able to using a regular event. Perhaps I have misunderstood the question, but this is just one workaround idea. Hope it helps, Gail ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wm Voss" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, July 26, 2005 11:28 AM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Event Override >I really don't understand the problem.
