kamoroso 0 Report post Posted August 26, 2006 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

solongago 0 Report post Posted August 27, 2006 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.

Steve.. http://freepages.family.rootsweb.com/~solo...aster_index.htm http://freepages.misc.rootsweb.com/~solongago/lucas.htm 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. Wholly Genes, Inc.

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
