Discussion has been made about separating personal events from family events. I do understand that John can’t really create a double grid to keep these types separate and doing it manually doesn’t give a visual separation. I’ve found that you can simply go to <Add Event> and scroll down the drop down list to one of the long dashes (-------------). Select that and position it between the personal event lines and the family events. It seems to work and I haven’t found any problems (yet) with doing it that way. By the way John, what is the intended purpose of those lines in the list? Could one of them be changed to a selectable blank space? David Youse

To David Youse The dash lines were not designed to be selected. They were designed to show the breaks between Individual Events, Individual Other (with Descriptions), Family Events, Family Other. In other words, they show the breaks when you are viewing the list of about 100 events on the drop down list.

If they are placed in the person's edit screen, a quality check or maintenance program will report an error. It seems that not removing the "divider line" doesn't affect the program operation. How would it affect printing or gedcom production?

Could one of them be changed to a selectable blank space? I see at least two direct problem If a male or female has more than two partners each, marrieage or notfor each of the couple you will have a lot of events. If you turn to other peoplle of the same persons a mix of personal and family events can be different and will not mostlly not give what you want. The events are good to have in edit but not to print in books. I use to have all events listen but the story about the persons are not listed in reports. I have then made the result of a person life in each couple as a part of the biographi. In that way most of the events and order of the events are solved by the biography. An other part is that all events are put togethe in the same paragraph as birth name, date, deathe etc and are a unsatified mix. I have wishes to could male som separation of the events, but so far it is not possible. On the other hand is a great help to use thje Option under Event/facts to pu the order of the 7 mot used personal evenst and the 3 most used common events. The next is for users to use Global Change of Event Order. That do no include the family event, but do we wish that. I do NOT -- Otto Jørgensen http://www.bkwin.info/ All email is checked by NORTON
