They are: Sex Living Birth Order Multiple Birth Adopted Ancestor Interest Descendant Interest The reason is you can't actually "change" the values for these flags. Rather, you are "translating" them. This facility is intended for users of languages other than English, so the values will make sense in the language the person is using. However TMG's understanding of each value is not changed. (I'm not sure that actually matters for Multiple Birth, Ancestor Interest, and Descendant Interest since I don't think TMG actually does anything with those three flags.) You should only change the values of custom flags. Terry Reigel
