   My software (Brother's Keeper) will accept any string in the date field,   
   but will only treat it as a date that it can do sums on if it is entered   
   in a fixed format. (You can choose one of about ten formats, and I think   
   can choose to change which one you're using and it'll convert. I think   
   if you do that it ignores any that were just a random string anyway.)   
      
   Jenny, if you enter a double-date in Legacy, does it still do sums OK   
   (e. g. age at death)?
