That is exactly the case, If you have not entered either an alt given
name or an alternate surname the field does not exist. (This is the
way relational data bases work, the link between a person and an
alternate name is in a separate table and only people with alternate
names have entires in that table. That saves storage space since only
those people with alt. names use the storage apace for an alt name and
that is how you can enter more than one alternate name for the same
person, it is just an extra entry in the alternate name table.)
Bingo!
I knew that but failed to connect it to the current problem. Sherry,
disregard my last reply. <g>
