Replace Massachusetts with Mass. Bay Colony

Recommended Posts

I have many events that have Massachusetts as the state... but I want to make anything before 1691 be Massachusetts Bay Colony. Is there anyway to just change those events that occur before 1692? :wacko:

When you select a location in Master Place List, and click <Edit>, there are fields for Start Date and End Date. I've never use these, and I don't know what effect these might have on data entry outside these limits. (Does anyone know?) But I doubt it is a retroactive fix.

Hi, Steve,

 

if you make use of the Start and End Dates in a place record TMG will validate and tell you whether an event meets these criteria.

 

From Help file

Start and End Dates

 

You can associate start and end dates with a place if you wish. If you enter a start or end date in a place record, TMG will validate the date of any event entered in that place and tell you if the event falls outside the date range for that place. If you have zeros in both date fields, then no validation is done on the date in relationship to the place. Remember that all of the place fields must match the place record which contains the start and end dates in order for this to work.

This is really helpful for tracking changing place names. The warning is often enough for me to catch my mistakes.

 

 

I don't think it will help here but TMG Utility does have some features relating to places.
