I had some odd behaviour when importing a Gedcom. After a lot of checking and perusing of the gedcom spec what seems to happen is this.
Genopro imports Christening (CHR) records in the gedcom with associated place and date, however within the Genopro GUI it leaves the religious record type as a blank rather than setting it to Christening which is one of the GUI options.
Genopro imports Baptism records (BAPM) as Custom Tags rather than as Baptisms. This seems odd as Genopro correctly exports to Gedcom baptism records as BAPM .
Is there any reason why Genopro doesn't import BAPM records to their correct place ?

| The Gedcom import is far from perfect and many tags are imported as custom tag by default. Thanks to Ron who wrote the report skin to export to Gedcom, most of the tags are properly exported to the Gedcom standard. It's great you point those tags, since we are working on GenoPro Gamma, the import Gedcom routine will probably get improved.

| For now you could use my XML Toolkit to convert the custom BAPM tags to Baptism fields, including setting the Ceremony to 'Baptism'. I sincerely hope that the Gedcom import can be improved in the gamma development. There are a number of issues like this one, another major one being that multiple occupations (OCCU) are not handled correctly.

Ron,
I remembered your XML toolkit after posting and have given it a go, however when using it and still got slightly odd results . The following illustrates the issue :
Here is a very minimalist gedcom I created by exporting a small file and then editing the BAPM for ind00001 to CHR:
0 HEAD
1 SOUR GenoPro®
1 CHAR UTF-8
0 @ind00001@ INDI
1 NAME Christened //
2 GIVN Christened
1 SEX M
1 CHR
2 DATE 01 FEB 1934
2 PLAC A church somewhere
3 FORM addr1
2 SOUR @source00001@
0 @ind00002@ INDI
1 NAME Baptised //
2 GIVN Baptised
1 SEX F
1 BAPM
2 DATE 04 JUN 1978
2 PLAC A different church somwhere else
3 FORM addr1
2 SOUR @source00002@
0 @source00001@ SOUR
1 TITL Some parish records
0 @source00002@ SOUR
1 TITL Personal papers
0 @subm1@ SUBM
1 NAME Bob C
0 TRLR
If I import this then ind00001 shows up with a religious record with date, place and source for ceremony but not the type (Christening). ind00002 imports with three custom tags for the religious record. So far so good (or not if you are pernikity about the lack of christening ceremony). All this is down to Genopro itself and will have to wait for the Gamma release for a fix.
I then run the XML toolkit on the resultant file and check ind00002. I now have a baptism with a date but without a place or source (actually the source is shown as a source for the individual not for the religious record). Is this what you expect from the toolkit or should it handle the BAPM.Place custom tag (the case for "Place" seems a bit odd) and associate the date with the Baptism info ?
In other respects the Toolkit is a wonderful piece of work - you seem to have anticipated all the options I would use including the Marriage label !
