Thanks, Terry, for your lengthy reply. However, as I said, I've done this before and didn't use either of those two methods. I'm very sure that I used the Descendant Interest flag somehow, as the person whose descendants I want to ignore has a zero for that particular flag, while all the others are unmarked (with a ?). To complicate this particular situation, I need to explain a little further. The person whom I don't want to follow is a woman named Jean, and she had a brother named William whom I DO want to follow. One of Jean's daughters married the grandson of William, and that is one of the main lines I DO want to follow. I just don't want the reports to go down through Jean. I want them to follow the descent from her younger brother William. I hope I explained that clearly.
