Not to beat a dead horse, but could you make a BK gedcom, export it to your old program, delete the unwanted data and then make a new gedcom to import back into BK?

Here's the basis of a quick and dirty MS Word macro that will delete a line beginning with "2 NOTE Sensitive:" Begin: Selection.Find.ClearFormatting With Selection.Find .Text = "2 NOTE Sensitive:" .Replacement.Text = "" .Forward = True .Wrap = wdFindAsk .Format = False .MatchCase = False .MatchWholeWord = False .MatchWildcards = False .MatchSoundsLike = False .MatchAllWordForms = False End With Selection.Find.Execute Selection.Extend Selection.Extend Selection.Extend Selection.Delete Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1 End Sub More work is need to make it go through the entire GEDCOM automatically.

It seems to me that since the problem is in the data generated by your previous program, that's where you ought to look for a solution.

You could create a gedcom and open it with Notepad. Then copy and paste from Notepad into Excel. In Exce, create a 'number order' column with a number series 1 to whatever. This is to preserve the original order of the lines of the Gedcom. In Excel, sort on "Sensitive" and delete the approprite lines. Resort using the 'number sort' column to get back to the original order. Create a Gedcom and use that to create another instance of your Brother's Keeper database. But, be warned. Exporting and importing wll change other data. You are only talking some 3000 entries and it will take some time but it wouldn't be that bad.

Hi! When I imported my database into BK I got some information that was not wanted. My previous program had the opportunity to set an event as sensitive or not. This information followed the gedcom file as a note to each event. I want to delete all notes that looks like this: Sensitive:0 Is there any way to delete this note from the database without opening every person and delete it manually? -- Jostein Fauske N-6977 BYGSTAD,Norway mailto:jostein.fauske@c2i.net http://www.zet.no/~josteinf/
To Jostein Fauske You can find those people by going to Lists, Word Search, and on the first tab, in the Notes field type Sensitive: and then click Make List to Edit Then double click on a name to go to that person. Then click on Notes. If the entire note is sensitive, you can change the Print Where column to "Never print" Or you can delete the sensitive part.

The only way I can think to do it, is to put a gedcom into a word processor and do a search for "Sensitive:0" then deletye the note.

To Betty Young Bray Do not pick the option to have each generation in a separate file unless you need to because one file is too large to load into your word processor. If you have a problem with one large RTF file tell me what the problem is with doing that. If you must have separate files, you need to make a "Master" file in your word processor and attach all the other files to that and then make the index and endnotes.

I am trying to download several generations on Register book. I chose to separate the generations. But now, I get source/notes at the end of each generation instead of one section for sources/notes at the end of the book. Can I correct this and if so, how? Any help appreciated. Betty
