Thanks, Myrnice but I'm trying to get a list in the PE so I can just click
on the next name and check and fix the record. I don't think I can do that
with the list of people report, can I?

My underlying question is: How do I get the contains '?' feature to work?!

Thanks again though!
Jan

Try a List of people report with a filter:

Any Event Year Includes 1880 END

or any other year you wish.
