Jerry, Here are a few samples. They are from my main database from a different program, But, I do the same thing in all of the programs I run. Yes, the person index has all of these people at the top of the index, as the "(" comes before any of the letters. As you can see there can be many different combinations, but they work for me. I use a GEDCOM to go from my main database to Legacy and other programs that I have installed.

I like your use of the ? and I do something very similar. But would you mind giving me a couple examples of what you place in the LAST NAME field and what you place in the FIRST NAME FIELD, so I'm sure of what you are doing?
