Okay! All I can really suggest is that you keep at least two family files. One, your master one, is where you keep all your data. The other, a sandbox, with which you experiment and play. The supplied Sample database is perfectly adequate for this, but you may be more comfortable using a subset of your data in the sandbox. The sandbox then allows you to try selecting various options and experimenting with things like you asked about, without affecting your main family file. You should also keep a backup of your sandbox, so that you can return to a 'known' state when your experimentation and playing around has left the file in an unwanted state. -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergr...@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
