Hi again,

Statdates - we have several blank statdates.  2 are from Proton's group and 
the others are lodge group.  They are from when we stopped seeing them 
much. So, what we have is the knowledge that a particular female had an 
infant, usually we couldn't tell the sex, and then we haven't properly 
censused the groups again.  I'm guessing that they are missing statdates 
because these kids weren't really named and so might not have been on the 
computer census sheets for the update (hence statdate not getting 
automatically generated). What to do? Shall I go for a manual entry? If so, 
what should I use as a cut off date?

please stay tuned for my next question...i can feel it coming...
