    1. [RMagic] Runninig a Multimedia Report yields unusual results

    3. I am trying to run a Multimedia Report for ONE individual but I keep getting multimedia items in the report that are associated with other people not my ancestor. I click on Reports > Lists > Multimedia List I open the report, click on the button that shows People to Include: Everyone. In the dropdown menu, I choose Select which takes me to the list of people in my database. I then choose the individual by checking the box next to his name, then click OK. The report that prints is 3 pages long. The beginning of the report has multimedia items that have nothing to do with my individual. I looked for one of the items in my multimedia folder: Cite: Census, UK, 1861 -- Alloa, Clackmannanshire, Scotland, George STEIN (KNZ3-ZQ4) (Census) I then found the multimedia attached to George STEIN but it is tagged to: Cite: Census, UK, 1861 -- Alloa, Clackmannanshire, Scotland, Robert STEIN (Census) [person icon] George Stein Cite: Census, UK, 1861 -- Alloa, Clackmannanshire, Scotland, George STEIN (Residence) Cite: Census, UK, 1861 -- Alloa, Clackmannanshire, Scotland, George STEIN (Census) [person icon] George STEIN (Census) The person whose multimedia I wanted to print out is from my Irish line and his name is Francis MCCUE. I have no data on him from outside the US and he was from Ireland not Scotland, so why does this multimedia item print out when I ask for multimedia items for Francis MCCUE? There are others in the multimedia report that have nothing to do with this person: Census, US, 1880, Troy, NY -- BENOIT, John (my Irish ancestor died in 1879) Death Certificate -- BELDIN, Sylvester, 1927-Emporium, PA (not even my ancestral lines--my husband's) There are 26 other files in this list that have nothing to do with Francis MCCUE. So either there is a glitch in the program or I don't know how to run a Multimedia Report. Any suggestions on how to run a report just for my ancestor, Francis McCUE? Thanks Margie in Washington State

    3. So I did a little experiment. I unchecked all the choices on the left except Individual media items and Documents--nothing on the report. Slowly I checked each box and sometimes I had nothing on the report and sometimes I had about 4 documents from this ancestor (there should be 24 documents associated with this ancestor as that is what prints out at the bottom of the 3-page report that includes many of the wrong documents). However, when I had all the boxes checked under "Include which items in the list" and Documents under Media types to include, I then added Photographs by checking that box and that's when I got the 3 pages of multimedia items which included those that did not belong to the individual. Could there be a glitch with the choice Photographs? Unfortunately, if I uncheck Photographs and check All the boxes on the left EXCEPT Photographs, I only get 4 documents when there should be at least 24.DARN!!!
