Trying to quit BK, I said yes to do a backup, and it's giving me an error box "File: Error= 86 Sharing conflict" as it tries to backup each file. Eventually it said "Backup complete" and did quit. I'll try again: go into BK. Goes straight into edit, as I have it set to do so. Close edit. Close BK. Say Yes. Backup files. Copy to where I always have. Same error message again, for ten files. If I "stop without making a backup", it quits fine. If I go back in and try to come out making a backup, I get the error messages. I _did_ have to crash BK earlier: I was using the "compute relationship" function, and it got into a mode where it wouldn't let me out of that mode (the "Close" button pressed but didn't quit the "relationship" mode). I subsequently used that mode and it _did_ let me out. I'll report if it works next time I reboot the PC. -- J. P. Gilliver.

Hi John: If you click the S to show a source and then click the View the Selected Source and the source happens to be a JPG of a document with closely spaced typing it is sometimes very difficult to read and even pressing the image to display larger does not solve the problem, would it be possible to add a similar button to what you have in the Media/Picture display which is Open With the Default Picture Program?

To Howard Slatter Currently the Lists report shows only one of each event. So if you have two Occupations or two Resided events for someone, only the first will show in a column. I have it on my list of things to work on to make a way to print multiple duplicate events. You can show all spouses if you include field number 99 along with field 19 or 20 or whatever marriage fields you need.
