Change the sort from RIN to Alphabetical at the top of the screen.

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

FYI: In case this ever happens to anyone else along the way, I found a solution that worked for me. I made a GEDCOM of the entire database and set up a new database. I imported the GEDCOM of the original into the new database and voila!, my entire alphabetical list was restored. I don't know if there was an easier solution, but this worked for me. > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Donna Starring > To: PAF-5-USERS-L@rootsweb.com > Sent: Friday, March 25, 2005 9:05 AM > Subject: [PAF-5] Alphabetical Listing > > > > Greetings, PAF 5 users: > > I seem to have lost all of my alphabetical listing except the ones with no surnames. > > 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.
