Something like a Row condition of Add If =bool(Exists(%INDI.BIRT.DATE%) or Exists(%INDI.DEAT.DATE%) or Exists(%INDI.BIRT.DATE%)) is true, should work for you. -- Jane.

Sorry should be =Bool(Exists(%INDI.BIRT.DATE%) or Exists(%INDI.FAMS[1]>MARR[1].DATE%) or Exists(%INDI.BIRT.DATE%)) On 24 August 2011 15:35, <APhill1274@aol.com> wrote: > you mention 2 > INDI.BIRT  and one INDI.DEAT but no INDI. marriage ?? -- Jane.
