Sorry if this has been covered already, as I have not been following the list lately. However, I just discovered something about PAF 5 that concerns me, and wanted to see if anyone else has run into it. I am using 5.2.18.0, the latest version. My son-in-law is updating my web page, and we were going to use the "last change date" to pick up changes. However, we discovered that the way that I have been updating notes...working in the "family" mode, and clicking on notes in the tool bar to update notes does not change the date in the record. IF you work in the "pedigree" mode, and double click to bring up the main screen, then click on the little icon for notes, it does update the change date. The bad thing about this, is I will have to change the whole way that I have worked in PAF for ages, as many times I just go into notes when I catch a typo or want to add a reference or something. I am still using notes the old way, and have not started to think about redoing all my sources. Anyone else notice this? Thanks. Leonard. Leonard J.

The date modified changes for me in Family Mode. You actually have to make a change and save it, simply opening or viewing the notes does not do it.

Leonard, Never noticed this before - but you are absolutely right. Updating Notes from the main menu --- Edit > Notes ---- whilst properly updating the Notes does not update the Modified Date on the record. This seems to be also true when the Notes are accessed directly from the right-hand mouse button - whether on the family of pedigree view. The record Modified Date appears to be only updated when the Notes are accessed via the Individual Edit screen - whether accessed from the Family or Pedigree view. Another bug to be fixed in the future - or, provides a way of "correcting" errors/typos in the notes without updating the Modified Date --- could be an "advanced feature".
