patthepiper 0 Report post Posted December 1, 2011 I have custom tags for the various UK census, i.e. Census 1841, Census 1851 etc. About half of my Census 1911 data appeared with a spurious tag Census 186111. (Due to some boneheaded action of mine) I did a LOP for the bogus census, and using this started manually changing the tag to Census 1911. After a long, boring day decided there must be a better way. Using edit I renamed Census 186111 to Census 1911.So now I have two 1911 tags, one 465 records, the other 424. Pause for thought; at the bottom of the pit, stop digging. Is there a way to merge the two tags? I had thought of splitting one lot into a temporary database, deleting the 'empty' Tag in the main database, then combining the two databases. Would this work? Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Terry Reigel 0 Report post Posted December 1, 2011 Yes, there is a better way. Not within TMG, but by using John Cardinal's TMG Utility. Use the Events > Change Event Type function. The Utility is available on John's Site - it is "donorware" - John asks that you make a donation to his favorite charity if you find the program helpful.
