Hi Art, Did you click on Refresh in the Tree Finder? The Tree Finder doesn't refresh automatically. If you want the Tree Finder to show the tree as "yours" you have to make yourself RIN = 1. You do this with Tools > Renumber RINs. First give the current RIN=1 a different unused RIN It's nothin

Hi Art If doing the Refresh doesn't completely cure the issue, then do a File - File Maintenance - Check/Repair and then try another Refresh of the Tree Finder. That cleared up similar issues that I managed to get. Jack -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
