Second or third spouses in proxy boxes text scheme

Post by pricero1 » 11 Dec 2005 19:17

For the 'Proxy' box I have the following text scheme:

%INDI.NAME:FULL%
{picture}
=LifeDates(%INDI%)
{if male & no spouses & duplicates} m. %FAM.WIFE>NAME:FULL% (%FAM.MARR.DATE:YEAR%)
{if male & no spouses & duplicates} =LifeDates(%INDI.~SPOU>%)
{if female & no spouses & duplicates} m. %FAM.HUSB>NAME:FULL% (%FAM.MARR.DATE:YEAR%)
{if female & no spouses & duplicates} =LifeDates(%INDI.~SPOU>%)

This works fine except where I have multiple spouses.  The LifeDates of the second or third spouses show up as the those for the first spouse, which is not, of course, what I expect to see.

Can anyone see a way of showing the LifeDates of second or third spouses?

Thanks - in anticipation - Robin

Try using %FAM.HUSB% and %FAM.WIFE% in the lifedates expression.

Thanks for the suggestion, Jane, but I've tried %FAM.WIFE% and is gives exactly the same result (ie picks up the details of the first wife even though the name of the second wife is displayed).

Any other thoughts?

Thanks............Robin
