Hello Ira, a problem occured when splitting database in CFT ver 2.29. I wanted to create separeted databases for some of other trees, contained in main database. It was OK for most trees but one. After I splited main database I got a new one, containing individuals chosen from list. The new database should contain five presons only, all being direct descendants (son, father, grandfather, GGF, GGGF). However their relationships in new database are absolutely mixed: key person appeared to be duplicated and become his own son. Ancestor tree ("tree icon") shows the same person beeing son, father, grandfather and GGF. The tree shows 9 persons, some duplicated, some missing. When cheking content of the database (hot key N) the list there is OK, it contains exactly the five original individuals. I tried to rebuilt key files and restart the program but the result after new splitting was the same. What to do? (I undestand that my new database is small enough to create it simply manually, but I am afraid the problem may occure with large splittings, and than the problems may not be seen immediatelly as in my case...) One more question: when splitting database, key person (IRN 0001) of the new database is set up automatically (according to lowest IRN of alphabetical order I suppose). Is it possible to change person with IRN 0001 to another than the one set up by splitting program? Thanks and best regards Petr
