To J P Gilliver Thanks for the suggestions. I am not able to make the grid have a darker line in one place. At one time I tried having two grids (one for individual events and one for marriage events) but it looked back, so I combined them. There is a Utility to sort all events by date, but there is not one for one person currently. John Steed ----- Original Message ----- From: "J. P.
