I know an event is between 30 and 31 March 1851, so I enter 3_031851 (I have ddmmyyyy selected as _entry_ format for dates). BK correctly converts it to 3_ Mar 1851 (I have that format selected for date _display_ format). But BK also says in red "Invalid date". What gives? (Similarly, "CIR ____1812" gets correctly converted to "CIR __ ___ 1812" but is also flagged as "Invalid".) Also, if I know something happened in the fourth quarter - i. e. month 10, 11, or 12 - and I enter the date as "__1_1666", it gets converted to "__ Jan 1666". (__0_1666 - for any of the other three quarters - comes out as __ ___ 1666, which is perhaps OK.) Ideally I'd like a way of recording a quarter.

Why not just add them as siblings to the direct line person, then add to-do's for them. Then later you can do a 'missing information' report to find blanks that need filling. Seems to me you're making a lot of doubling up of work for yourself. Just my thoughts. Fran The Future is as Great as the Promises of God On 21/02/2012 4:56 PM, J. P.

Look under <ists> <Locations with events> That lists every BK number associated with that location. Using 'Show All Events' does give a lot, but it works.

There is a convenient BK feature that can identify all the persons to whom a particular source is attached.  Is there a way to do the same thing with locations?   I routinely take the shortcut of entering just the first few letters of a location, pressing F8, then selecting the desired existing location.  But I've found long after the fact that there are several locations that I inadvertently created by accepting only the partial location name.   For example, "new lo" rather that "New London, Chester Co, PA" or "New London, Huron Co, OH" or "New London County, CT."  If I knew who the "new lo" is attached to, I could do a global search & replace.  But since I don't know that, I wouldn't know which location to change it to.  I could do a word search for "new lo" but that will also return all the more complete locations, and I can't narrow it down by event since I don't know that either.  All I know is that I have a handful of partial location names somewhere in my large database that I'd like to correct.   Any suggestions?  Rennie Brown West Union, WV =======================      We're all in this together www.doddridgecountyroots.com Remember me in the family tree, My name, my days, my strife; Then I'll ride upon the wings of time And live an endless life. ---------------------------------------

To Robert Ginn On a few computers, you might get that error if a folder name is over 8 letters long.

Robert, A few things to check 1) How much free disk free space on the drive you are trying to create the database on. Hopefully this is new database, not an import to an existing one. 2) Using Windows Explore search for BKGEDTMP.TMP, if you find it delete it and try the import again.

Using a registered BK 6.4 (I think it was 6.4.10), when trying to review a gedcom I made from within BK, the import failed with the message, "Error during CREATE of BKGEDTMP.TMP STAT=25 Try stopping BK and Starting BK again."
