In my case I have for the extended family of mine, including my direct line to 999, and adding eight similar groups, (my spouses, siblings in-laws, adopted childrens' trees). This I store in Tag 9, for obvious reasons. In my DB I also have town groups, and questionable possible families, which I do NOT want to include in the 'use all' types. Why should any program know how to figure out what I need as a 'one search' thing. For the future, did you then use the button, "Add the current search group" to a blank focus name, that you had just tagged? Maybe your 'group' was too complex to collect using the various 'add' tabs. But my 'link list' has eleven Add statements. I hope this will help you identify how to set up your group. Contact me off line if you need assistance. Rich in LA CA
