<I would say leave well alone, and if you don't like the way Family Historian reloads after using an external programme, don't use the external programme, otherwise live with it.> Nick - thank you for your reply. Sheila - When using an external program to edit FH, I would prefer it if FH re-loaded to show whatever window you were currently working on - whether that's the Focus Window or a Diagram - but I wouldn't expect that to happen the next time I opened FH! I would think most people would like to immediately check or add to the information which has been updated. Well I do! regards Julie ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to FAMILY-HISTORIAN-USERS-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
