Hi Mike I did not know that that was an option, however, when I try it, all that happens is that I get a dashed line between the box and curser which disappears when the left button is released. Is this to be expected? Regards Ray G

Hi Ray, That would suggest the Chart thinks the new Parent link is unavailable for one of the following reasons: The Child already has both Parents linked, which is of course the case. The Chart is not allowed to expand in that direction, i.e. add ancestors to the root of a Descendant Chart, or add non-direct ancestors to an Ancestor Chart. Have you tried Diagram > Hide/Show Boxes > Show Hidden Boxes. Presumably if you double-click the Child box its Property Box opens and the blue triangular Up button at the top leads to the Parents?
