All; A question from a local PAF user led me to a method that I now prefer. She had just bought a new computer and wanted two PAF icons on her desktop. One would open only to her genealogy and the other to her husband's. I did not know how to accomplish this so I inquired of PAF support. The solution relies upon a capability of Windows. Use Windows explorer to find the database you want to open. Place the cursor on the name of that file and click the RIGHT mouse button. Select "Create shortcut". Rename the shortcut to the name of that database. Move the newly created shortcut to the desktop. When you click on that shortcut Windows will read the extension and compare it to its list of programs and extensions. It will then use the PAF program to open that database. It works perfectly for me! "Good Hunting", Richard L. Halliday Remember the observation of Hugh Nibley: "These people! They act as if they were Terrans. Have they forgotten that they are Kolob-ites!?" So lets work to get back to there; it is a far, far better place then Terra (Earth).
