FTM frustration
« on: Sunday 05 February 06 20:25 GMT (UK) »
This topic may have been discussed before,but I couldn't find any reference to this topic so here goes I am using FTM / 9 and am having trouble when it comes to typing in the dates ...ex March  3 1876....  and the program then write March 3 1876/1877.  How do I correct this as it is frustrating me especially when I have certificates giving me the right dates. Do others have this problem and how do you overcome it  help......

Try going to FILE, then Preferences, then DATES and check the entry for double dates this should be 1752 by default

Hope that is the answer

Happy hunting
