I imported a Gedcom file and a Chrisning CHR code and its data did not show up on the Events listing. I tried to add the event and the date and place was entered but the event colume was left blank. I had selected Baptism(chr) under religious events. When you add an event why are to two selection pull down windows? One for Events and one for Religious events.

You are right, there is a bug in SmartGenealogy V2.0E : Sorry Confused
You can download a corrected version (V2.0F) here : http://alainlecomte.free.fr/SmartGenealogy.zip
Please let me know if everything is ok with this new one.

The total number of events with Gedcom 5.5 is now 40, so i thaught it would be easier for the users to split them in two separate lists : This is why there is a list for the 25 Non-Religious events, and another one for the 15 Religious events.

Alain,

I downloaded version 2f and I can now creat a new event with CHR, but CHR still does not register when it is imported in a gedcom file.

Most events are coded with 4 digits (BIRT, DEAT...) except CHR which for some reason only has 3 digits.
While importing a Gedcom file, SmartGenealogy was looking for "CHR " (the 4th character being a space). It seems that some genealogy programs only export "CHR" (w/o space) in their Gedcom file.
I have modified SmartGenealogy accordingly.
Bill, i am afraid that you will still have to download this modified version ( http://alainlecomte.free.fr/SmartGenealogy.zip ) and install it : Sorry for the inconvenience. Mr. Green

Ale,

No need to apologize I appreciate the fast response.

Now on to my next question.

My main interest is to modify a large data set that is in an excel spread sheet. So I am working on modifying the data so that it can be imported into SmartGenealogy.

I see that birth dates/places and death dates/places are listed twice once on the person sheet and once on the event sheet. If I am constructing these sheets do I need to have the same information in both places for it to import correctly?

Bill

The answer is yes : See green ellipses in the example below.

You must take care of the following things :
- Your Excel binder must have 6 sheets
- The names of those sheets must be EXACTLY the ones indicated below
- The first row of each sheet (captions) must be EXACTLY the ones indicated below
otherwise, the importation will not be successful.
