Hi Jeff,

BD is going great. Running into my first mystery in a while. Here's the summary:

1. created new thing
2. added sightings based on that new thing
3. it shows up in reports
4. does NOT show up in View/Edit for the date/place/taxonomy it belongs to

(Note: about 30 other sightings show up on that day .. but this one thing does not)

Please advise.

Let me know if you need anything else or want me on the phone at any time.

Resolving this is very important to me because of the method I use to enter sightings ... and I am glad you're on the case Doctor! Thanks - Tadas

Hi Tadas,

Thank you for going to the trouble. However, when I follow your instructions, I see the specified sightings in all instances.

I think the key here is that you have some setting on the View/Edit Setup window that you are overlooking and is therefore excluding the sightings in question. My recommendation is to click the reset button on that window, then select either tax list (I used "Reef Creatures"), only enter the begin date and click Continue. And there it is.

One question, based on how you specified your dates above, is it possible that your computer is set to non-US date style of mm/dd/yyyy - or that you are specifying the date in the wrong order when you use the date control on the setup window? Just guessing.

Jeff
