I would agree that BK should be number 1. I have been a registered user since 1996.

I think John might want to contact the people at Genealogy Today and have them correct the errors they have in the BK listing.

When creating such custom events, users know that they are not included in a potential gedcom. Then, how about someone who created more than one custom event and wanted to delete only one? I concur with Jack Ray's suggestion of a double check with such a delete option. There could also be a warning AND a strong suggestion about having a recent backup of the working database before proceeding.

John, That is my worst fear about adding that kind of utility. I currently have 217009 names in my data base and it would be a real nightmare if I accidentally deleted an event for everyone.

I know it's not perfect, but neither are we. Could the utility include a "ARE YOU REALLY SURE YOU WANT TO DO THIS?" button??

To Max and Fran I may be able to add in the future a utility to delete one event from everyone. I just get a little worried about doing that, because someone, somewhere, sometime, will accidently delete Born from everyone, and then discover their mistake and ask me to fix it. But if can get over my worrying, perhaps I will make a utility like that.
