Hi Richard, and list Thank you all for being so incredibly helpful! Another question regarding the "married name" field. I've started the long haul with typing names in, which will be very useful when I've finished. Now, I'm wondering... On the Individual window, I note that I can numerically sort the RIN column, can sort ascending/descending full name column. What's the chance, and how do I do it to make the Married Name column sort ascending/descending? Here's me being hopeful!! regards and thanks Regina --- Richard Rands <rrands@cfmc.com> wrote: > At 12:55 PM 6/27/2005 -0400, alanjones10@cox.net > wrote: > >What do you do when they have > >married/divorced/married/divorced/married/widows/married? > > So far in my database the most number of spouse's > names for one individual > is 5.

Hi Regina, Unfortunately you can only sort the Individual Screen on Rin and Full Name. Sorting those columns is made possible because the code inside the PAF program continuously maintains two indices for every record, one for RIN and one for Full Name. When you sort the RIN column or the Full Name column, the records are instantaneously displayed because a sorted index is already available. Adding an index for every other field would significantly slow down the normal processing of the PAF program and so the programmers opted to not include any more that the two indices.

Regina, You might try using an advanced focus/filter search. First put your find list in alphabetical order, rather than by RIN. If you are looking for people that you have already put a married namr on, then define your search by selecting Married Name and selecting Exists. If you are looking for people that do not have a married name listed, then design by selecting Married Name, Does Not Exist, Sex = Female and Marriage Status, Matches Married. Then you can edit the individuals. You may have to run a 2nd search where the Marriage Status matches Divorced, if you want to put former married names on the divorced individuals. I hope this helps.
