First, thanks to all of you for the responses. John-Appreciate the tip on making the changes in the Place Styles. Have been experimenting with several different options. Virginia-Understand your concern (and John’s) about storing the ranks here. The military service tags I created (one for each conflict) are, for the most part, a “storage site” for the military information I have gathered-it is not included in any of my narrative reports. It has worked well so far, especially as it relates to sorting and printing reports in tabular form which I use in my research. Keeping the ranks here just seemed to make sense. Robin-Thanks for the tip on split memos. I did not know you could search/filter these, so I’ll need to explore the possibilities. Again, thanks to all. I always receive great advice on this forum. Doug

What are the steps to changing the default place names for a particular Tag? What I wish to do is change the place field names within the various Military Service Tags I have created to align with the data I intend to place there. For example, I wish to change the Addressee field name to "Rank", the Detail field name to "Company", the City to "Regiment" and so on. If possible, I would like to have the above changes become the defaults for that Tag Entry Screen. Thanks! Doug Terrell

Thanks Jim! Doug

How do I generate a list of names of persons who have a particular entry in a place field, but the tag is unknown? I recently imported data into a new data set where I am working on it-removing errors, realigning places, etc. When I open the Master Place List for this data set, I find entries in some place fields that obviously don't belong there, but I do not know with whom this information is associated. For example, in the Master Place List is are several entries in the County field of "Magnolia". I don't know if this is person's name, a county name, or whatever. So, using this as an example, my question is how do I generate a list of names of persons who have "Magnolia" in the the County field of an unknown tag? Thanks, Doug Terrell

Thanks Michael-that worked! Appreciate the help. Doug

Is it possible, and if so how, to produce a list of names of the people within a project who have a particular Tag? Specifically, I wish to produce a by-name list of all the people in my project who have the "Military Service" Tag. Thanks! Doug Terrell
