Hi Ron, Thank you for your reply and suggestion, in the end I had to Unlink them from their parents and then delete the 3 females to be able to re-enter them as Males - all very confusing!! Non of these 3 were married, it was just a straight sex swap!!
I am still trying to work out the 2nd problem, as there appears to be some legitimate people mixed up with the Unknown entries, so I may have to try doing the operation section by section leaving the 'good' people behind. >Susan > >2nd part first! > >I would use Search>Find>Detailed Search > >Row 1) Individual; Individual RIN; Greater than; 3463 > >AND > >Row 2) Individual; Individual RIN; Less than; 4711 > >Ensure that the radio button near bottom left "Clear List before this >search" is checked. > >Click "Create". > >On the new screen: > >Select Options>Advance Tagging > >Select a convenient (unused) tag number,say, "1", and click "Everyone in >this Search List". > >Now go to Tools>Advanced Deleting and delete all records with a tag of "1". > >That answers your question, *but* I would not do it the first part that way! > >I would use only one line: > >Row 1) Individual; Sex; Equal To; Unknown > >and then proceed as before. > >Regarding the three individuals where the Individual Screen cannot be >selected.
