Nancy, I have never come across this problem and frankly do not understand it; perhaps you can help by clarifying some points:
You say "Surname List" - do you mean View>Name List or the Index tab? You go to the wife's/child's name and find him there - where ie. which list/view? Surely the wife's name would be her maiden name and not her husband's surname? Is it always the husband, or could it be anybody - including single people? The answer to these may help to separate the wood from the trees but I'm afraid all I can see at the moment is a forest!

It wasn't such a problem then, but now my database is so much larger that it's often a real problem.For some unknown reason I don't seem to get all of my "people" in my database. When I go to the surname list and look for someone, they aren't there. But I work around it by going to the wife or child's name etc, and the original person that I was looking for really is there. So everytime I look to see if I have a particular name and it doesn't show up, I have to try to work around it with other connections. This is time consuming and quite frankly real annoying. Can anyone tell me what the problem is and hopefully how to fix it. Thanks Nancy ________________________________ Delicious ideas to please the pickiest eaters. Watch the video on AOL Living.
