Hi Alastair,
Perhaps you could be more precise about what it is you are trying to do
and the steps you've already taken? Brian was not to know that you had
already tried his suggestion since you did not say so previously. BTW,
Brian said in his reply "Click on the Help button on the Ancestor Report
screen". Have you tried following his actual instructions - because
although you say you did, what follows indicates you may not have.
Please take a moment to reconsider the steps you have taken, and what
Brian actually suggested. And please don't shoot the messenger. ;-)
Which report are you trying to generate, exactly? The Ancestor Chart,
or the Ancestor Book Report? Can you work out what the number
"285283394" that you mention is referring to - is it a RIN, or is it an
Ahnentafel number, or something else? It might be that looking at a
lower number, perhaps the one assigned to yourself in the report, will
be easier to work out than that particular one?
The RIN can be turned off on the Ancestor Book Report, but I cannot see
an option for turning off the Ahnentafel number.
Hope this helps, Alastair. :-)
Kind Regards,
Wendy Howard

Well, Brian, that's not perhaps the most helpful reply I've seen
written on these boards. I have already done that.
If you go help-numbering you find three systems listed - Henry,
d'Aboville and de Villiers. All are descendant systems and it is not
obvious how any one of them might be applied here. As I said, I'm
doing an ancestry report.
The example I gave - 285283394 - is 28 generations back, but the rest
defeats me.
