Susan,
You can always have a "master file" - and then do a FILE, SAVE FAMILY FILE
AS... and give it a temp name (or meaningful name - whatever).
Then you can hack this second temp file to your hearts content without
worrying about messing up your "master file".
Just keep checking that name in the titlebar to make sure you are working on
the file you think you are! Note that depending on your default settings -
when you restart Legacy you might be in this TEMP file by default or you
might be in your "master" by default. So DO BE SURE you check that name in
the titlebar! It would be a real bummer to add a bunch new stuff to your
database only to discover that you added it to your temp one by mistake.

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

Susan,
In Family View right click on the marriage details (ie the bar below the
individuals' data) and you will see on the pop-up unlink from husband.
Click
on this and it will leave you attached only to your mother.
You can always marry them again later.

Susan,
Tagging is not an option for the Ancestor Report. If, say, you are
starting
from yourself then have you consdered unlinking yourself and your mother
from your father and then create the report?

Thanks for responding John. Yes, I want to create an ancestor chart with
my
mother as "generation one" but then traces back only through one side of
the
family. The Legacy hand book says you can use tags to create reports
using
only tagged individuals but I don't see a way to do that. Susan Whitelaw

I'm confused by your question: any given person either is or is not an
ancestor.
Are you trying to get a one-sided ancestry, such as mother's side only?
John
I am trying to create an ancestor report that includes only tagged
individuals. I don't see an option in the screens on reports that
allows
one to select only tagged persons. Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks,
Susan Whitelaw
