Brian Gross asked: > I am trying to figure out the easiest way > to get TMG to generate name variations. Hi Brian, Lee and Terry mentioned the important point that a blank field in a non-Primary Name tag is only inferred from data in the one Primary Name tag. Further, to get a specific name other the the Primary name to be used in an event tag, you must select the desired name for that person within that event tag. One last point is that only the GivenName and Surname fields are inferred from the Primary Name tag. If there are any values desired for any fields other than these two fields they must be entered in the non-Primary Name tag as they are not inferred. There is much more to learn about Name tags. There is a lengthy set of notes in the "Names" section of the Data Entry chapter of my on-line book which may be of some help: http://www.mjh-nm.net/DATENTRY.HTML#Names Hope this gives you ideas, Michael
