Hello,

 

I'm running TMG v8.07 with windows 7 home premium.

 

I'm running the "list of witnesses" report.  I've provided a link below to help describe my problem.

 

http://www.themeiner...Page/tmg_mn.htm

 

the 1st graphic I've provided shows the person view in TMG.  you can clearly see that there are exactly 2 witness events for the date 7/25/1870.

 

the 2nd graphic shows the report columns I've chosen on the "list of witness" report.  I've also run this with "witness last given" without the "selected" in the column name.  the output is the same either way.

 

the 3rd graphic shows the report output.  you can see that there are 3 records for this person on the date in question.

 

the 4th and 5th graphics show the tag entries for the cen-head and cen-enum events.

 

(a) why are there 3 records in the report, when there are only 2 events??

(b )you can see where on the person view, I have a "cen-head" and a "cen-enum" event.  however, the "list of witness" report shows all three records with the "cen-enum" tag.  any idea why?  what happened to the record with the "cen-head" tag?  also, this kind've implies that there's a witness record missing; which only further aggravates the observation in (a) above.

(c ) any idea why there's a record on the report output showing "1870 Census, PA Allegheny Cnty" as a witness?  there is no event on the person view with "1870 Census, PA Allegheny Cnty" as a witness.  why is this showing up??

 

my expectation when I run this report is that I get 2 records, each respectively reflective of the 2 events shown in the person view.  can anyone explain what is going on here??

 

thank you in advance for any assistance provided.

 

btw - for the life of me, I can't figure out how to upload media on this forum.  I see the "mymedia" link when creating this thread message; but I can't figure out how to upload to the "mymedia" area.  perhaps Velke has this functionality turned off??

 

David

You haven't specified how the report is defined.

 

The report is a list of witnesses (depending on the filter), not a list of witnessed events.
