Ira - after receiving the message below, I decided not to uninstall the program and now I can create the error everytime. Open the program, select database, put in password, double click on the key individual. You get an error code: Word code not in file 1-3959. Click OK. You get: ERROR! Language file is missing OR Second instance of program not allowed. Program should be terminated. If you click Abort, program locks up. If you click Ignore, you can go ahead. If you change the key individual before you to try to edit the key individual, it doesn't happen. If you try to edit any other individual on the first screen it doesn't happen. It only seems to happen when you try to edit the key individual on the first screen. In fact, now that I have played some more, it only happens when I try to edit the key individual on the first screen who is IRN 00001. It only happens when I try to edit that particular individual no matter where he is on the screen. If I choose Ignore, I can go ahead and work. Hope this helps.
