I don't quite remember your original posting, but your Birth2 tag might not
be active. Click the + button, click on >>MORE. All available active as well
as inactive tags come up. If the Birth2 tag is there, select it, click on
EDIT and then set the Active option (on the right ~ middle) to YES

enough to explain. So I'll have to leave others to explain it.
