> You're welcome, yes, they will not search on just the month and year,BUT
what I've tried is to pick a 5 day period that I think they MIGHT of died, I
know it's a longshot but when that's all you have it's worth a shot. I'm not
sure if there's an index but you can probably post and someone will reply.
