Yes, You can customize the view columns (width & content), save that view and load it whenever you wish. After subscribing to this list & reading your great suggestions, I opened a NEW family file & imported the Sample file naming it Play file. I use that file to try to figure out some of the posts that are not way too over my head. My NEW file & import gives same results as "save family file as" - a new family file to demo. Pat, if you changed the Index View in preparing for your demo, you'll need to save it so you can then load that view during your demo. To customize the Index Tab view, select Options - Customize Columns. After you are pleased with the index view, Save. You can save up to 10 different views. To change to another saved view, select Options - Customize Columns - Load.

I'm pretty sure that stuff like the columns you are viewing in Index View, and other "screen configuration" changes are global, not dependant on what database (or family file) you are looking at. They are stored in .usr files to indicate your user settings.

When I went back to see the original file, it too had changed to match the new file (easy to tell the change as the original file had several more columns in the index view than the new file did; after deleting those columns in the new file and then going back to look at the original file, those columns were missing in the original file as well.) I asked Sherry for help and am eagerly awaiting what she can come up with. BTW, I'm using the latest updated version 6.
