Hi Troy,

Date ranges, like the one in your example, can be entered and saved as "custom dates." (I.e., a custom date is one that Reunion does not recognize as a date.)

After entering a custom date, Reunion will guess at the date you would like to use for sorting. At this point, you have four options...

1. Click the "Try Again" button to enter a date Reunion does recognize.

2. Delete the suggested sort date and click "Save Custom Date" to save it with no sort date.

3. Keep the date Reunion suggests and click "Save Custom Date."

4. Change the sort date and click "Save Custom Date."

(Note: If there is anything in the "Sort Date" field, it must be a date Reunion recognizes.)

Additional information about entering custom dates can be found in your manual by searching for "custom date." To access the manual, choose Help -> Contents.

I hope you find this information helpful
