Ron, thanks so much for this information. I tried it and it works. I am interested in whether it is possible to create subsets of the major database. I don't see in the handbook any information on creating subfiles, but it does seem as if the program is set up to accommodate more than one file. But for the purposes of the ancestor report, the unlink function does work so that one can include only one branch of the family, as you indicated. Thanks again, Susan

Click on this and it will leave you attached only to your mother. You can always marry them again later.
