GenoPro will eventually support time (hours & minutes), so there will be no need to have a checkbox to specify if the event occurred before or after the sunset.

This is the correct Hebrew date.

What is the meaning of the month in brackets?

What if I don't know the time? I think it will be easier on you if you have the checkbox. Time can not tell you if it is before or after sunset. For example 19:00 on winter is after sunset while on summer it is still day. You will have to know the exact time of sunset to know if you have to change dates.

Yes the date as it appears in the page you mentioned is correct, in the Gregorian and the Hebrew calandar. Just Remember that after sunset the Hebrew calander will advance to the next day. ;)

Today 's date in the Gregorian calendar: Friday, June 16, 2006
Today 's date in the Hebrew calendar: 5766 סיוון 20   DayOfWeek: יום שישי

Months in the Hebrew calendar:
Month #1 (Nisan): ניסן
Month #2 (Iyyar): אייר
Month #3 (Sivan): סיוון
Month #4 (Tamuz): תמוז
Month #5 (Av): אב
Month #6 (Elul): אלול
Month #7 (Tishrei): תשרי
Month #8 (Cheshvan): חשוון
Month #9 (Kislev): כסלו
Month #10 (Tevet): טבת
Month #11 (Shvat): שבט
Month #12 (AdarI): אדר
Month #13 (AdarII): אדרב

Yes. This is the correct date.

Great.  The changes will be in Beta 16d.

Will this fix will solve the problem I have with converting Gregorian years to Hebrew years?

Nope.  What you are asking is nearly impossible because the date parser is not capable to recognize two years within the same date.  If you enter a year in a given calendar, GenoPro will do its best to approximate this year in a different calendar, however it may not be the exact year because some years to "overlap".

By the way,  I have fixed the problem of a date being one day off, from the Gregorian calendar to the Hebrew calendar.  I am using the page http://familytrees.genopro.com/DateConvertCalendar.aspx as the reference.

There are more than a few cases in a family tree that you only have a year as approximate date. GenoPro must have some logic to deal with such dates. In my example I told you that the conversion resulted in -262 which is simply an error. It means that the calander is not working.

If you try to convert just a year in the page http://familytrees.genopro.com/DateConvertCalendar.aspx you will get an application error. As I said in that discussion GenoPro need to find a way to convert, otherwise many people in the family tree will have meaningless numbers as dates. As I said there 2006 can be 5766 as it is the Hebrew year for most of 2006. Only in September/October it changes to 5767. So 5766 can be the Hebrew year for 2006, when only a year is the date.

The same applies to any other year.

It is!!!

I sent you an email in this regard. I do have a valid year! I have someone who was born Abt 1980. This is what I have, just the year (approximate age). The conversion is to a negative number! Try entering just 1980 in the page you mentioned without any day or month - you will get an application error!

This time, it is the opposite; the debug build works fine and the release version doesn't work. I am investigating this. 

c = FunctionA() + FunctionB()

On my debug build, FunctionA was called before FunctionB, however on the release build (the one you got), it is FunctionB which was called first, followed by FunctionA.  Well, in the case of converting dates to a different calendar, FunctionA may change some values for FunctionB.  Calling FunctionB first produces the wrong result.

The result was a garbage date value.  If you download Beta 16e, the date conversion whould work fine.

I agree that some kind of "after sunset" check would be necessary.

BTW the thirteenth month is Adar II which comes about every few years, seemingly in no simple order, so the above program is necessary.
