I am not tech savvy. But am successfully using TMG ver. 9. Lately, all my name IDs have an added character. I.e. - Bob O'Brien (1:500). I believe this means I am using a duplicate data set. But I have no idea how I did this, nor how to delete this. Any suggestions appreciated. Bob O'BRIEN in AZ

Any suggestions appreciated. > Bob, Yes, that means you have two or more Data Sets in your project. You would have to do some searching to see whether or not the second is a duplicate of the first. One way to do that is to open the Picklist and at the top set the Data Set to the second one, and see who appears. You could have added it by importing a GEDCOM file, or merging with another project. To remove the second one if you decide it is of no value, open Data Set Manager from the File menu, select the Data Set from the list that you want to remove, and click Delete. Terry Reigel

Any suggestions appreciated Yes, an ID# with a "prefix" with a separating colon means that you have at least two data sets. Data set 1 would be your original one. You can look through your Picklist or the Project Explorer to see the different persons in the data sets. You can sort the Project Explorer (PE) by Data Set or ID number by selecting that in the Sort option near the top of the PE. This can help you select persons to see if they are duplicate and help decide what to do with them. You should be aware that a second (or more) data set _may_ be hidden allowing you to only see one of the multiple data sets. That is, one or more data sets may be inactive (disabled). To make sure all data sets are active (enabled), right-click on the PE and select to Manage Data Sets. If a data set has a check mark beside it then it is Enabled (active). To make a data set active, highlight it, and click on the [Enable] button at the lower right of the window. Lee Hoffman/KY
