Thanks for that info, hsm. After I add full GEDCOM checking to Behold, it should catch these errors and more. Louis

Theresa, Thank you for excellent ideas. Your points are worthy of more than an answer here at the forum, so I've made a blog post with my reaction to your one-place requirements. In the meantime, I do know of one program that is used by one-name study people that may be something closer to what you need. It's ...

Theresa, I doubt I will be implementing a side-by-side feature. My current thoughts are that I'll probably be mixing the data together, with events for each person ordered by date, and allowing you to highlight the data from the different GEDCOMs with a different background color. You would not want to use any ...

Will, For you and for anyone else who reads this, the presentations are up at: http://sdrv.ms/XZJKN2 I'll be leaving them up there for about a month, after which I'll take them down. Louis

Will, I appreciate the push - again - and your suggestion. One good thing to let you know: I got past the "roadblock" - i.e. figuring out how to do the Life events properly. I had been bouncing back and forth on that for several months now. The not so good thing is that there will be a bit more of a delay. ...

Thanks Dave for the review of GenP - which I actually haven't tried myself. Unlike GenP, Behold maintains the two-way relationships. When one way is created, the other is as well (and Behold will identify one-ways in the GEDCOM that should be two-ways). Hopefully, when I add virtual merging to Behold, I'll be ...

Dave, No problem at all. I want to ensure that Behold is running the way it should for everyone. Louis

Dave: Great! I'm glad that was it. No. The regedit simply wipes out the stored coordinates of the window (which happened to be off the screen). I suggested it as a solution because when Behold doesn't find coordinates, it places the window in a default position at the center of the screen - so that should make ...

Dave, Behold is doing nothing more than opening a standard window when you press F9. The window is no different than the window that opens for the GEDCOM and log windows, which you say work. Thank you for your details and Brett, for your assistance. I think in your details, Dave, you mentioned a second desktop. ...

Hmmm. First I wonder if the BHO icon and F9 key are actually working, but the Organize Window is not on top but is obscured by the main window. Try this: Open Behold, load your file and press F9. Presumably you don't see the Organize window. Is your main window maximized? If so, press the square box in the ...
