Another view which supports the comments below. With a great deal of respect. I submitted a question last week to you directly. The response was to your question not mine. Rather than pursue the issue, the matter was dropped. Please have a great day. Clint Crocker Elizabeth, You may feel the need some time to review this answer. <vbg> It is not a very helpful answer to what I consider to be a very reasonable question. Your answer, smacks of granny sucking eggs, and looks remarkably patronising, even if that was not your intent. I will refrain from further comment, but ask that you re-consider your reply on another day. I hope you do not take umbrage at my view. Phil.

If you had two different genealogy program databases, the same thing would happen. That's why you keep different databases. If you want all the numbers not to duplicate, you need to keep just one database. This is how databases operate.
