Try this... Press and hold the left shift button while Right-Clicking the BK icon in the Windows Taskbar and select "Restore" Next, Press and hold the left shift button while Right-Clicking the BK icon in the Windows Taskbar and select "Move" Then, without touching the mouse, press the arrow keys to move the window from wherever the "phantom" monitor would be to wherever your laptop monitor is. If it's several screens away, you may have to hold the keys for a bit until it shows up on the laptop screen, but when it does, you should then have normal control. Let me know if that works!

The arrangement allows 3 larger screens to be open in addition to the laptop screen. I use them for 1. BK, 2. Ancestry.com, 3. working text file, and 4. other internet lookups (often find-a-grave). It has simplified my work considerably because it is easy to move data between screens. But there is one quirk that perhaps someone has seen and resolved. When BK opens, it starts on the laptop screen, but I usually move it to one of the larger screens and keep my text files on the laptop where I can more easily control font size. The problem comes when I shut down the computer, disconnect it from the docking station, and, at some later time, restart BK on the stand-alone laptop. What appears to happen is that BK tries to start on one of the disconnected monitors. What I see on the laptop screen are my usual icons (including the shortcut to BK) but BK itself is not visible. When I click again on the BK icon I get the message that BK is already running and sure enough, in the start tray it appears but with a blank screen and when I click on it again, nothing happens. If I reconnect the laptop to the docking station, all is well. But if I need to use BK away from the docking station for a while (maybe a couple research days away from home) I don't have this option. I have experimented with several ideas and the one that does seem to work is to delete the options file (bkoption.d7) and restart BK. This options file is then recreated and seems to reinitialize certain processes that allow BK to start on the default (and, at the time, the only) display monitor connected. Of course there are a few options that I need to reset to my preferences. Any ideas? Or a better work-around?

To Bill Webster Brother's Keeper will not run on an Android tablet, but it will run on a Surface tablet that has Windows 10. If you have an Android tablet, you could put some reports (files) from BK on the tablet to view, but not change. In Brother's Keeper for Windows you can send many reports to a disk file. In the Descendant Report, Group Sheets, and Custom Lists, set up the report and then pick File, Create TXT file. In the Register Book, Indented Book, and Ahnentafel Book, set up the report and pick File, Create RTF file. Then load the RTF file into Word or Word Perfect. You can make HTML files from Group Sheet, Ancestor Chart, Descendant Box Chart by picking File, Create HTML files. For the Tree charts and Box charts, or ANY report you can send those to a file if you have a PDF driver like the free one from www.pdf995.com and set that up as a printer driver, then in BK pick File, Printer Setup, and pick the PDF driver and then when you click Print, it will make a PDF file.

Bill I use a Samsung Android tablet and phone on the road. I can't run BK as its Windows only. I purchased an app call GEDExplorer (written by Sundin Software, www.sundin.nu available, on the Google Play Store). Cost the princely sum of $AU5. Well worth the cost. You export a GedCom from BK and store it on your Android device, then run GEDExplorer and read the GED file. It gives you most of the information available in your BK database, in tree, circle or data sheet format. The main issue is that it is just a GED reader and display. You CANNOT edit anything. I don't find that a problem, as I think you should only have a single database and distribute updates from there. This save you from the dilemma of trying to figure out which of you databases is the most recent, and do they both have the same data? Having said that, the author has said that editing MAY be added in future.

Thanks, John, that's very helpful. Does the Global Search and Replace recognise leading spaces? If it does, it will limit the possibility of incorrect changes, for example, where English village names of Viking origin end in "dby". >---------------------------------------------------------------------- > >Date: Mon, 19 Aug 2019 21:47:54 +0000 >From: "Nick Higton" <nick@higton.co.uk> >Subject: [BK] Locations and Sources: Global Search and Replace >To: bk@rootsweb.com > >Is there a safe way to globally amend part of a location and/or source? > >I ask because I am in the process of changing from Chapman Codes to full >locational references.

I've mentioned this before, but wonder if any further thought has been given to it: When I add a child with the same name as the parent or an ancestor of the parent, it would be nice if BK would remove the parent and ancestor(s) from the "do you mean one of these persons" list that pops up; thinking about it, it could also eliminate anyone with birthdate (say) previous to that of the parent. (Or at least show any such in different colours, but I know colours are difficult/impossible with the current engine.) Similarly, if adding a parent of the same name, and probably other similar situations. Finally, it ignores other forenames: if I'm adding John Paul Getty, it will say "Do you mean this person: John Frank Getty?". I can see it might need to suggest John Getty or Paul Getty, i. e. where the person is already in the database but with some of the names omitted, but when the names are _different_ ... Minor points. Suggested for addition to the huge list of "it would be nice if". But eliminating the person having a child/parent, at least, maybe wouldn't be that difficult. -- J. P. Gilliver.

To Nick Higton First be sure you have a current backup copy of your database (File, Backup Data Files, copy to usb) OK, then pick File, Utilities, Global Search and Replace, Change only the Location Search for DBY: and change to Derbyshire, England That should work fine UNLESS you already have a location that is the same as the new location. In that case you might get a message that there is a duplication. (I can help fix that if you get that message.)

Is there a safe way to globally amend part of a location and/or source? I ask because I am in the process of changing from Chapman Codes to full locational references. For example, I have a lot of locations of the type "Wirksworth DBY: [Street]" which I want to amend to "Wirksworth, Derbyshire, England: {Street}".

To Ruth Wilson If you go to Edit to view a date, is the last digit missing when you view it there? Or is it only missing when you are printing a Custom List where the length of the date field is limited? The program does not change a Date field in the database unless you used "Global Search and Replace" Anyway, one way to find bad dates is to run the report Other, Reasonableness Report.

Somehow or other, a number of my dates have lost the final digit in the year (so, 25 Dec 194). I don't quite know when it happened so can't fathom out a reason, and I don't think I have done anything major anyway! There seems to be an extra space appearing between the month and year. If I could find a list of the error dates, I could spend an evening checking up the exact year.
