Don, Will you add that to Legacy's suggestion place? I think there is a link from Version 6. I agree with you - I'd like to use AKA with all those various spellings, but there are only a few that I want in a report. But it is helpful to record those AKAs with their source so people know how to look for a person in the future, when they see my database.
