I am just wondering what has happened to the living flag. Every time I enter the Edit window for a person, the living flag is unchecked. If we just enter the edit window for a living person and leave it without doing anything, the person comes out dead. It happens to my database and it happens to the Sample database. You can try it out using the Sample database. Ira comes up alive. If you then enter the edit window and leave at once, he is dead. But I really hope he is still alive!! A new bug - isn't it?
