You are lucky, being only 2nd in line for the new Potter book. We were on a cruise to Alaska when it came out and I had to find a bookshop in Juneau (not a tourist one, either) that had the book for my son. He finished it within a week. Now it's my wife's turn and then mine. My son is being very tight-lipped ...

Maybe you should have just kicked back, started to doze off and let your subconsious work out your Behold problems. I know that I've solved quite a few of my sticky programming problems in the shower, when I think I'm not thinking about programming. I guess that the brain is always working on stuff in the ...

Louis,I'm concerned about your commitment to this project. I don't understand how you could take off Mother's Day (if they have it the same day in Canada as the US) to celebrate with your family instead of slaving away at Behold. Wouldn't a couple of quick phone calls have kept everyone happy?Seriously, I've ...

When you get down to what genealogy is all about, it is all about sources. If I'm at a brick wall, how do I know where the info for an ancestor came from if I don't document? How does someone else know where the information I give them comes from if I don't document? How do they know how accurate it is if I ...

Only 17 of 54 GEDCOM's used the SOUR tag? So, with the advent of the internet and the ability to graft whole branches onto a family trr in a few seconds are people no longer documenting their sources? I find this low number of SOURced GEDCOMS both disheartening and not surprising from what I've seen in recent ...

I'm still working on figuring out the organize function, but it seems like it would be helpful to have the "active individual" name displayed on he status bar.

My Registration key problem seems to be resolved. It was a problem on my end, not Behold's.

Close, but no cigar. When I change the text of the CONC tag to a null string, I still get one space that shouldn't be there. Maybe if you bring in CONT and CONC records with no space between the last record and the current record, but change the default text for CONT to a single space?Seems like that would fix ...

When I pull in a GEDCOM that contains CONC tags, they don't seem to be parsed correctly.How I understand it is that when you have a long NOTE that needs to be broken down into multiple lines the additional lines start with either a CONT or a CONC tag. The CONT and CONC tags work exactly the same except where ...

I'm sending it now.
