First I suggest that you get the latest Ver 2.31 of CFT-Win. If still problems, then e-mail me a ZIP copy of the GED file. I do not recall there being problems like this in the latest ver of CFT-Win. But if there is I would like to look into it. Thanks, Ira ---------------------------------------------------------- Ira J.
