I have tried just about everything I can think of to print a specific report of death and burial dates, but cannot seem to find the right combination of criteria to make it work. What I want to do is to print out a list of individuals who have death and burial dates that ARE THE SAME DATE. I have a fair number of them based on a very large cemetery record I managed to obtain, and when I started to notice what seemed to be more than a few folks shown as buried on the same date they died, I questioned it. I was assured they were correct, so I went ahead and entered them as shown. Now, I have more reason to question them and want to go back and change the date of burial to "aft 5 Feb 1891" (or the like) rather than "5 Feb 1891" that it current states. I am very surprised, but I cannot find any means of setting either Search & Replace or any other search tool to result in telling me who is shown with death and burial dates that are the same. Am I missing something, or is there no way of doing this. I prefer a printed list, that way I can do them one at a time and change them that way for accuracy, but if Search and Replace will do it then I can sure live with it. If anyone out there (are you out there Bruce?) reading this can straighten me out, I would appreciate it. Note that now with burials now being in cemeteries that no longer list in place names but in place details, it is now kind of different than it used to be and I cannot find the right combination to make it work. I appreciate any advice available out there, and thank you in advance. David E. Cann decann@infionline.net

Can't be done completely from within RM. Can readily be done using a SQLite query. Best you can do with RM is a Custom Report, comprising: Name, RIN, Death date, Burial Date. Run it on everyone and save to a text file using the .csv extension. Open with Excel and add a column that tests for equal non-empty dates and outputs a flag (say an asterisk). Turn on filtering and filter the result set to show only those rows with the asterisk. Tom -----Original Message----- From: David E.
