Dermot, I think you are onto the solution. I will give it a try.
Thanks much, Jim -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dermot McGlone Sent: Tuesday, June 10, 2008 9:38 AM To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] charting help James, It sounds to me as if this is what Focus Groups are for, or perhaps, as you suggested, tagging. I don't believe it's something you can do from within Legacy Charting. Look up Focus groups in the help system, and the introduction says: Focus Groups A Focus Group is a group built by selecting individuals, families, ancestors and descendants. The contents of a Focus Group determine who will be exported to a file or printed on a report. A Focus Group can contain as few as one individual or the entire contents of the Family File. An individual and all his/her ancestors can be added to the group with a single selection. The Focus Group window can be reached from several locations. 1. From the Export window, click Record Selection, choose the Selected Records Contained in the Focus Group option, and then click View / Set Focus Group. 2. From the Select a Report window when either the Individual or Family tab is selected. Click the Record Selection button, choose the Focus Group Records option and then click Edit. 3. Choose Focus Group from the View menu. 4. From the Miscellaneous Searches tab of the Search window, choose the Focus Group option and then click View / Set Focus Group. 5-1108 Hope this helps.
