Find Duplicate Individuals - Run time error message

I'm getting the following error (repeatable) when I run this plug-in. Can't seem to find anything in the data file to cause it. FH version is fully up to date.

Can anyone help please.

Many thanks

ADDITION Just for completeness, FH then locks up and Alt-Ctrl-Del has to be used to close FH down.

Sorry about the FH lockup which will need to be investigated separately.
Exactly what FH version are you running? Use Help > About Family Historian to get version.

To find that invalid Date there are several options:

Run the Search and Replace plugin on All Records with just Date fields ticked and Search: 31 April 1881
Use the Search ONLY mode and every instance of that Date will be identified.

Run the Show Project Statistics plugin and on Options tab tick only Citation Entry Date: format is not valid and Fact Date: format is not valid then Close & Report to get Result Set that identifies the Date.

Run the standard Query > Facts and Events > Fact Date Warnings and look for The date entered is not valid.
If you sort the Warning 1 column, it will be first or last.

Thanks Mike,

The first option worked and identified the rogue date. It formed part of an entry that included a date range rather than a single date.

Good news is I couldn't repeat the error by entering a new fact involving a date range and the problem date so it doesn't appear to be anything that can happen now.

I'm running v7.0.2

Phew! :D
FH V7 does seem to occasionally crash/hang for no apparent reason and it is not repeatable.
The suspicion is that there is some internal interaction with automatic functions such as Auto-Save that are not foolproof.
