Ira, I couldn't agree more. I once change all the Inmigration events to Emigration in order to have the country to wich the person went to, no the one he left.

Yes, but the current version says: %N emigrated %D p{to} %P. %N immigrated %D p{from} %P. which is opposite from what you show above - so I should correct them to say: %N emigrated %D p{from} %P. %N immigrated %D p{to} %P. And if I change the two simply words "from" & "to" it will simply mess up the entire meaning of anyone's database who already has the place names opposite to this. I would like to change it, but am scared of how many people's data will get messed up in the process. Ira - ---------------------------------------------- Mr. Ira J.
