Ira, I installed beta 2 and imported a data file from ver.2.32X. Beta 2 operated quite OK until I executed the name search function, where the window opened but did not show any names. A second or so after opening, an error message appeared :"Word Code Not in File: 1-3849". Unlike beta 1, there was not any lockup and error recovery worked OK. I started the program several times, with the same error result when accessing name search. As a result of the continuing problem, I decided to re-install beta2. This time I entered data via the keyboard, and name search worked as expected. Could the import function be the source of creating the error associated with name search. This may have been the reason beta 1 had similar problems ie. word code not in file "errors". Icons appear in the column between Event and Sur on the Edit Individual screen, but nothing seen in the column between Marr and Sex in the Family Group screen. Is that normal. Cheers, Brian
