    1. Re: [PAF-5] Chrono list
    2. The Custom Reports capability will produce a chronological list of any event or combination of events. Go to Reports then Custom. Select the entire database AND then select the events that you want included. Put "OR" between every kind of event desired. For example, you could select Birth Date OR Christening Date. Next select the items that you want included in the report. I usually select "RIN", "Surname, Given", "Birth or *Christening Date", "Birth or *Christening place", and any other appropriate item. I never print the report immediately. Instead I use the "Preview" capability to see how the report appears. I find that I often must chose Landscape orientation to get all of the items on a single line and that I must adjust the number of columns assigned to each item. When I am satisfied with the arrangement of the report THEN I print it. p.s. Do not forget that you can change the defalt report title from "Special Report" (or something similar to that) to anything you want.
