This seems to have been a quirk in my program for a few days. When reported I could recreate it but now a day later, I can not. All I have to do is track down the bad entries and fix them <sigh>. I have no clue what caused it to start with nor what caused it to go away Did one of you guys sneak into my computer and fix it?

When a husband is added to a woman and the automatic Name-Marr tag choice is accepted there is an inconsistent behavior based on whether or not the HUSBAND had a given name. If the husband is added with given and surname, then the name choice in an edit witness box or tag entry box (upper right hand corner) includes the woman's given and married name as a choice. If thw husband is added with only the surname, then the name choice in an edit witness box or tag entry box (upper right hand corner) includes ONLY the married surname without the woman's given name. Screenshots of this is at http://www.hollytimm.com/TMG/marriednames.html - note, these are two different women although their names are similar. I have found that if I add the husband with a fake given name and then afterwards go back in and remove the given name the woman's name choice acts as expected. But, if I go back later to the husband and add their given name (such as when additional research has discoverecd it) it does not correct this issue so it seems to be "set" when the Name-Marr tag is created in the add husband process. Further experimentation seems to indicate that once a woman has a correctly functioning married name choice, any added husbands and thus married name tag and choices the choice works correctly. I knwo I am not crazy and I know this is only a small thing in the complexity of TMG but it is a quirk that is aggravating and an inconsistency that should not be there. Please let me know if you have any further questions or are not clear what process I am talking about. Holly Timm htimm@comcast.net

I've had this intermittent problem also. Of course now that I have come and read up on the topic, it stopped doing it for today anyway Next time it does it, I will send the file if you still want it. Holly
