Me again Peter, I've tried this and don't get any scroll. My error message reads the same for both columns, it w ants to delete a Record not a field.

When I have got used to all the things Im still learning in V3 I'll have to upgrade to V4.

Thanks for trying
Mary

Thanks a lot for taking the trouble over that Peter. I'll give it a go once more.

Crystal, I'm glad it's not just me having the problem, although it seems that not many understand why I want a report to read in chronological order, it just makes sense to me not to have to jump back and forth through the years. If a birth has a citation from a census at all it should be with the e...

Thank you Jane, it is indeed obviously valid, just that when I use it the message I get is that it isn't. Possibly it is only certain fields that it's able to be used for. Even in your example, it would presumably only provide the source, not the citation. Seems I will have a long job to sort out ea...

Unfortunately I'm also on V3.1.2, so that answer doesn't enable me to do what I want. Simple question - when choosing the fields (Column tab) where can I find Source Citation, rather than Source? PS what does the % mean in that reference you gave please Jane. If it's any help the only fields I used ...

Yes thank you, I did agree with that. I'm only sorry that there is no easy way around this, as I posted above. 'The reference I had in the Birth Source was INDI.BIRT[1].SOUR[1] I changed this to %INDI.BIRT[1].SOUR[1]% as you advised but the message was 'The expression entered is not recognised as a ...

Unfortunately it doesn't work that way and I've only just discovered why. There are no out of sequence items since the birth event is the earliest. If the birth date was calculated from one of the later censuses then this is the one shown in the report as the source for the birth and so at the top o...

The reason I want to remove them is that, for example I have a family I discovered in the 1881 census but continued researching them in previous censuses, so when I view a report I'm reading the 1881 census first, then the 1841, 1851 and so on. I find this strange when trying to make sense of their ...

Hi all, It's taken me a while but finally have figured out where my problem lies. When I produced a report I often got the censuses in an incorrect order but couldn't figure out why. The reason has turned out to be that sometimes a later census was entered and created a birth event, so this was of c...
