Hi Everyone, Just to let you all know I'm still here. I have recently purchased a program call Custodian 3. It's a program for people who collect an enormous amount of info, for one name studies. I thought it might be a better way to go, than what I have previously used for collecting our Barraclough info. Before now I have used Microsoft Access, which I have always found rather easy to use. But thought the sorting facilities in Custodian might be better. But the down side is that I have to now convert all the data (11,000 entries) into excel and then import into Custodian. And they have to be imported separately. Eg. Baptisms, Marriages, Burials for each church. etc. So it's going to take quite a long time to import all the Barraclough entries I have in Access. But on the whole, I do like this new program, and the more I use it the more familiar I am with it's capabilities. So, no I have not dropped of the face of the earth, just very busy working in the background :-) PS, finally got a new battery for my puter clock :-) so dates on emails should not read 1997 any more :-) Cheers Kim
