Thank you, Red! This horse died sometime ago and was buried, all in chronological order.

I just have never found it to be a problem so I wrote a small program to find where I had the same date for birth and baptism, birth and death, or death and burial;? It turns out to be in less than one half of one percent of the total number of fact entries in my database.? On those rare occasions when they might be the same I use the sort date or the more common case for me is where I pick up the Death Date from a tombstone I enter the death date as that on the tombstone and the?burial date as being AFT the death date.?? Doing it at the time of data entry takes no time at all.? I would rather see Bruce continue to use his time to provide us with new capabilities like he has been doing than "fix" a problem that is easily handled by the program as it now stands.?
