Don, I'm sorry I don't have an answer for your dilemma, but TNG also maintains an email list for its users and it has quite a few programmer types involved there as well as the owner/creator of the software. If there is a way to do what you need, they might be able to help. A large number of them use Legacy and TNG. Here's the link to join the email group: http://lythgoes.net/mailman/listinfo/tngusers2_lythgoes.net Jerry Boor, MerriamFamilyTree.org
