I do understand what you are saying, but even if this was made an option, how would you suggest that it be displayed on the edit page or printed in a report? As I was typing the above, John's response came through, which may or may not satisfy your requirements, however I'll let the question stand to get your thoughts.

[] As I've already said in my reply to Otto, I'm not suggesting you have to use date range for every event - nor, as you point out, any date at all for some events. However, where I _am_ using date range, the two options available - event happened between the two dates, and dates are start date and end date - are not always correct, such as for an occupation or residence. Sure, I could put something in the notes, but see no harm in _asking_ for a third option: John can always say no! (I can imagine the _possibility_ that there's only one bit assigned to this matter, which would thus make it impossible, or at least difficult, to expand the list.) At present I can only choose one of two options neither of which is correct, or put the information in in a form (in the notes) that isn't immediately visible. -- J. P. Gilliver.
