When you are in the Fields Window, the "Types" are blank, Special or Event. Are you sure that if you highlight the 3rd field, that the type shown is not 'blank". I really don't think there is a bug there. I'll almost bet that the 3rd line has been set to "blank". Ira ------------------------------------------------ Mr. Ira J.

There's obviously something I'm not understanding here. In Windows programs, if you click on the Scroll Bar and pull it downward, it should still take only a fraction of a second. How about holding down the CTRL key and hitting the END key? That should take you to the bottom of the document.

Except that I haven't tried the viewer in a long time and it was working since then and until recently. Have already downloaded the full version of 3.07, uninstalled the incremental one and installed the whole thing over. Same problem - no buttons. Also noticed that the startup screen did not want to recognise any of the databases even though these all live in c:\cftw3 directory. Had to use Browse to find them and open. After I use browse to open a database it again appears in the startup screen. Thanks for trying. David Voss Harvey.Nimmo wrote: > I think this happens when you activate the CFTW 'Viewer'.

I don't know if this is related but in the Decendant list [style2] report, the 3rd line of the fields is no longer visible in the 'example' window and therefore not editable, so it stays on the marriage data I last programmed into it. Just another little bug I guess, would downloading another copy of the program make any difference?

Hi gang, I had a little cutie pop up yesterday in printing the Descendant List [Style 2] also. All of a sudden it changed the date printed from "2 JUN 2001" to "abt 2 JUN 200". Couldn't figure it out so just unchecked the "Show Print Date" option, typed the date in the footer, and went merrily on my way.

To whomsoever can help: On opening ver 3.07 today I find sveral buttons have dropped off the tool bar (Book, Web and Viewer from the top row; Bookmark from the lower bar). At the same time several menu items seem to have vanished also. I notice this because I want to export a new Gedcom and there are no menu options any more for doing it. What is the cure, please David Voss New Zealand David B Voss 30 Dreadon Road Manurewa Manukau City 1702 New Zealand Phones: home +64 9 267 3547 mobile (worldwide) +64 21 612 965

I think this happens when you activate the CFTW 'Viewer'. It seems that when you do this CFTW assumes you are a user of the viewer and do not want to use the database program any more. You probably have to reinstall 3.07...or perhaps someone else knows a better trick?

It takes a really long time to scroll down through 6000 individuals with Wordpad in Win95 on a Dell590 which I understand to be a P100 machine.

Yes, I drag to the bottom of the window so it scrolls as fast as the program lets it At 19:19 01/06/01 -0700, you wrote: >Hi Mike > >Do you drag the scroll bar as fast as you can, without waiting for the names >to scroll by? > >Jerry

But that should take only a fraction of a second, or a full second at the most. That is, unless you're using a really slow computer, say an old 286 or 386.

Yes ... Mike .. left click at the top and then hold it while running the mouse down to where you want then right click in the highlighted area and press "Cut" .. then do not paste !!

That's what I do, but how is it "Faster"? It's the dragging the scroll bar that takes so much time Mike At 15:38 01/06/01 -0700, Jerry wrote: >Hi Mike > >A faster way is to click on the first person you want to delete and then >drag the scroll bar, on the left side of the screen, with the mouse till you >come to the last person you want to delete.

Hi there Ron, I saw Ira's answer but not sure if it answered your question. As I see it .. it was "Is there any way to see what info has been up dated ?" When you merge you can save a document as detailed at the bottom of the merge window (Make sure you save it where you can find it !!). This ends up giving you ALL the new people entered at the top (which you can delete) .. and at the bottom a list of all the matched people. This will consist of the two database names ONLY, IF there are no new details. This is the only place that a change of name is recorded, so look through it for that first. I then delete all the entries where the names are the same and there are no details. All that then remain are names that have changed, or entries where detail has changed. This should provide you with your answer. The ONLY stumbling block is if there is the slightest difference between the details, (like Birth : London in one and London, UK in the other .. then this shows up.) So a recommendation would be to agree on a standard before merging. I hope this has been of some help.

Oh for sure, that works, if you don't mind holding a mouse key down for ~5 minutes while it scrolls thru. I just thought someone knew how to mark two points in the file and delete everything in between, instead of a tedious scroll and cut. Mike At 23:41 01/06/01 +0200, Hugo Slater wrote: >Yes ...

Have you found an easy way to delete~ 6000 entries off the top of the list in the log file to get to the 200 or so you just merged at the bottom?

Hi Mike Do you drag the scroll bar as fast as you can, without waiting for the names to scroll by? Jerry Port Coquitlam B.C. Canada http://members.home.net/dimsdale1 DIMSDALE, GEDDES, ECKHOLDT, DOWNER, SINCLAIR, ETHERINGTON, MACK, LAMB
