Sorry to hear about that Jacqueline, but it is NOT a problem that I remember anyone else reporting, so I do not have a ready-made solution. I am afraid I am going to ask some questions to help solve the problem. Please answer as many as you can. How do you open your family tree? Do you click the Family Historian 'fh' icon and the tree opens automatically, or what? Does the shadowy 'greyed-out' Main tab affect every person, or just that one person? What happens if you open the Spouse person's details? Do the Facts and Notes tabs operate correctly? If you use Save top left, what happens? Which version of Family Historian are you using? Help > About Family Historian will tell you. Which version of Windows are you using? XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10? Do you have a friend or relation capable of sorting out PC problems for you? Regards, Mike Tate -----Original Message----- Subject: [FHU] Inability to enter name of a spouse -a sudden new problem I have just opened my family tree to add the name of a newly discovered spouse, but I can enter nothing under name of spouse. The main information tag is visible in a shadowy form and only the facts and notes tags are shown in normal strength view. It has not happened before. I don't know whether I have inadvertantly locked something which is preventing this. I am a grandma, and will only understand replies in nornmal language, not "computer speak" - sorry. Thank you - Jacqueline
