Hi, I have a dozen or so people, out of over 70K, for which I entered an Event/Fact with a date a few years ago and I would like to confirm the information without having to go through the whole database. Is it possible to easily make a list of those people? If I go to *Lists*, *Word Search* then *Search Event*, I have to put either a date or place name. Since I don't remember these, I can't use this feature. Thank you. Gilles Paquette
Gilles What do you know about the event/fact you are looking for? You could create a custom report with BK number other items like the event type and import it into Excel and sort it and then visually scan it look for the fact/event you are looking for.

To Gilles Paquette Go to List, Word Search, Search Event. Pick the event. Then click in the Date field and press F3 on the keyboard and it will say <not empty> Then click Make list to Edit or Create Report.
