Yes, I have only 1 database for PAF5 and both PAF and ANQ read the same data and when changed that database is updated by either program. It is interesting that since I have input my DNA test results using ANQ they are stored on the same database but since PAF does not have a feature that reads the DNA, only the ANQ can read those records. The reason I have not switched over already is I am not used to the layout of the data on the page.
