Thanks so much Ron for taking the time o help me, I really do appreciate this.
As you may have seen in some of my earliest postings I am very new to legacy and as usual in a HURRY as I am now on the down hill run !!! I am not very good at expressing myself but I will have a go. I have 7 entries for Patrick CULLODENs and I want to export them to a database where I can sort the various different fields. This I hope will help me to see if any of them are the same person and also to see what I need to find out about say one of them e.g. death to tie him to another Patrick. I also have the problem with others like John and Michael. Some of them range over 100 years but for instance if two come from eh same place they may be the same person. Whilst I do not know very much about Legacy at the moment I am fairly computer savvy. Looking forward to hearing from you or I could give you a ring if you thought that might be easier.

It is possible in may instances to see what is attached to whom, or vice versa, from within Legacy. Many Legacy reports allow the creation of csv files which can then be imported into a spreadsheet, and if I remember correctly Works does allow this (I uninstalled Works ages ago so cannot check) but I do know that Works cannot read Access files. What I am trying to say is that I have difficulty in seeing what information you may be able to get from a spreadsheet that you cannot already get from the facilities contained within Legacy.
