Thanks Jen. After a coupla false starts I actually managed to find it! I think I must be over-tired!! Now, of course, it is blindingly obvious! Unfortuately this doesn't cater for the original query about being able to access the record by this name. I think I will continue entering the name as e.g. "Jean or Jane SMITH" or "John GRAY or GREY" which is a lot clearer both on the Family View and in the Index of Individuals. So far I only have three or four like this. -- Best wishes Ray ********************************************************** >From Ray Hennessy Forenames website: www.whatsinaname.net Preferred Email address: ray@whatsinaname.net Hints for Scotland's People at http://bit.ly/WIAN-SCP **********************************************************
