Ron, Thanks for this.
Of course I was referring to the living flag being set to NO and not YES. In addition I wasn't quite clear in my initial statement, in that I meant if no dates were entered against a person they would not be set as "not living". What I hadn't realised (and I thank you for), is that " If there are any ancestors of a person set to deceased because of age they also will be set to "Not Living". Thanks for the assistance.
