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.

Ira In that case, I believe the current version is correct, see my previous mail Jens > > > >To avoid implementing both events (in telling that a person > leave or enter a > >country)I think you should stick with the current version. > > Yes, but the current version says: > > %N emigrated %D p{to} %P. > %N immigrated %D p{from} %P. >

Would it be easier to create a new event MOVE with from and to components, and leave the emi-imigration as it is. mike At 08:11 21/03/01 -0600, you wrote: >>"A person emigrates from a country and immigrates to a country". >>Example: "John emigrated from Norway and immigrated to the USA". >>Thus, to be correct you should use borth events (emigration and immigration) >>when you want to inform someone that a person has left a country to enter >>another country. >> >>To avoid implementing both events (in telling that a person leave or enter a >>country)I think you should stick with the current version. > >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.
