And now I know just HOW these people got set to Private! Thanks, Ron. Clicking on what appears to be a very large unused area of the screen in the individual view can, indeed, set the person to Private. I just did some mousing around in that area, and the entire width of the screen to the right of the word Private (the length of all 9 Tag fields), can turn on the Private check box. What good is a tiny check box if 1/4 of the width of the screen can also turn it on? That's a VERY dangerous field in my experience. It would be an excellent candidate for Microsoft's ubiquitous "Are you sure?" message box.

Most often Legacy gets the right half of my screen, and a webpage or source document open on the left side. Of course often the display of the left side needs more than half the screen to be coherent/workable, so it is much clicking back and forth between the then-overlapped windows. Because the (say Family View) screen is so chock-full of live links to so many data pieces and boxes, one needs to be very careful where one clicks on an almost-buried Legacy window, hence it would be easy to unwittingly make something "private". I can't visualize a programming solution for this little dilemma, but perhaps there would be a better way....?? So it seems that it's a matter of being very careful about where one clicks when the Legacy window is mostly buried, or otherwise clicking it's icon on the taskbar instead. But, rather related to this, when working half-screen the tabs are too wide, requiring sometimes having to scroll between the 5 available tabs. That would seem curable more easily with the use of either smaller tabs or tab fonts, and would bring a ray of sunshine if that were so. It's a wish-list thing, not a drive-me-nuts thing!
