I tried check/repair and it worked once, but when I came back in the next session, it was gone again and check/repair did not do the trick this time. I can search by RIN, but you have to know the number to search. Does anybody know how I can get my surnames back on the Alphabetical listing? Donna

What report do I have to ask PAF-5 for to get a chronological list of events? I suppose some might call this a time line, but to me a time-line has the date in the middle and events on both sides, and that's not what I need/want. Cheryl

That setting is under the menu path File, Print Reports. Select a tabwhich offers Other Events, like a FGS. In the small column of check boxes in the lower middle of the screen, there is a check box for Include Other Events. You can have them on or off, as you choose.

Is there a way to tell the PAF program that certain dates are correct and should not be listed in the Possible Problems list? I would like to be able to run that report until I get nothing listed. As it is each time I run the report I have to go through it and check off all those persons that are not really problems before I can get to the ones that might be problems. I guess I have a lot of "older" men in my data base that were still producing children after the age of 45. My own dad, for instance. :-) Helen

Try Light Impressions <www.lightimpressionsdirect.com> They have all sorts (sizes etc.) of archival supplies for photos; also boxes (all sizes) for documents, etc. All of my "precious" things are in these boxes, including legal size papers. Ethel in Nebraska

Hello List... I have deleted 15 individuals from my PAF file . When I clicked on properties to check to see if my record count was now 15 less, I found that the individuals showed the same total as before and the column "deleted Records" show 15..how do I get the individuals to show the correct total of people in the PAF file 5.2.18.0?

Is there any way to NOT Print "Other Events" when printing out "Places sorted alphabetically" from Reports/Charts? I didn't realize when printing "places sorted alphabetically" that it also included EVERYTHING else listed by place from the "Other Events" which I don't want to include. Any suggestions?

Hi Carol. PAF does not offer a feature to do what you are asking. The total record count is the actual number of records that have been created in the database including the ones that have been marked as deleted individuals. The deleted record count is the count of records that is in the list of records that can be used when adding new individuals. PAF will not add new records to the database until it has used up all of the records in the list of those marked as deleted individuals. It is an odd way to display the counts, but then programmers are odd anyway. You can do what you are hoping to do by using the Repair and Compact feature in PAF Insight. This feature will actually remove the unused records and make the counts as you want them to be.

Thanks to the nice people who replied to my request both on and off list. I think I'll shop for separate scanner and printer. Lexmark combo came with this computer. I used a Umax scanner and HP printer before and results were far better. Now I'm looking for a source for affordable acid free boxes or albums. We'd like to keep our original old pictures as long as we can. maxinehartley@sympatico.ca

The Actual Text when you Create a source from the Edit, Source, New menu chain goes with the 'entire source' - it will be part of every citation you use after that. The Actual Text when you cite a source for an event will be tied only to that event. If you are making a unique source for that specific funeral card (instead of one source called Funeral Card and then adding specific details for the citation of that source (each person's funeral card) then you could enter it there.

Hi Donna, Richard's way is a valid way, I personally have Chosen to have a source called Funeral Card. I felt this way helped me to quicker understand where the info was coming from.

In my opinion, the source entry in your Source List should not specifically refer to your grandfather's funeral card.

The Actual Text field for this source entry will contain a brief description of your collection as a whole and how you have it organized. In the source entry for your grandfather's death, you will enter a citation linked to the above source entry with all of the details of the funeral card listed in the citation. The entire text of the genealogical information on the card should be entered in the Actual Text field of the citation.

Greetings all, What's the difference between the Actual Text area in Create or Edit a Source and the Actual Text button when you Cite a Source? Are there different circumstances under which the two areas (and they are separate and distinct) are printed in reports? How should they be used? For example, I have my grandfather's funeral card. It lists a significant amount of genealogial information. Should I enter the entire text under the create/edit source actual text area, or just the appropriate bit of text under the citation detail actual text area?

We are sorting, copying and storing family pictures, some of which date back to the mid 1800's. I am using a Lexmark printer-scanner that came with my computer. I want to replace it with a better combination or pair to copy and print these photos. I would appreciate any suggestions. Also what do we use for storage and where can we get it? Preferably something affordable.Thank you in advance to a wonderfully helpful and interesting group. maxinehartley@sympatico.ca
