Mary You ask about having different databases, one for you and one for your husband. At my User Group meetings this question comes up often and I have yet to find anybody that has tried it, and will recommend it. The only case I can remember, in which it seemed acceptable, involved an elderly couple, recently married, and with children of different spouses, and it is not expected they will have any children of their own. For my case I would not recommend it.
