I want to thank both Terry and Jim for their replies. Sorry I didn't do so earlier. I have been playing with their suggestions and using two reports - List of People and List of Citations, I have been able to get what I want. I then can cut and paste the two together to make one report. Thanks a lot.

I would like to create a List of Events that occurred in a specific County but I cannot find the option to include the source that supports the event. Is there a way to include the source, either embedded or as an endnote? Thanks. Pat

I am preparing a descendant chart for a reunion. Currently I am using a Descendant Box Chart with a Left to Right Orientation and it is 2 feet wide by 17 feet high. I tried different orientations but this appears to be the one that makes the smallest chart. However, I will obviously not be able to display a 17 foot high chart. I was trying to set the Page Set-Up to Custom so I could put in page cutmarks at about each 5 feet. However, it appears that when you choose custom, it doesn't let you put in any paper sizes. I would be interested in any suggestions for the following: 1. How to put in Custom paper sizes 2. Can you put in manual cutmarks? 3. Any ideas on different charts I could use that would make my chart more manageable for display. This is a 7 generation chart. Thanks a lot. Pat

Thanks Virginia - I do not use the birth order flag so this is not set. However, when I create the chart this is the order (by birthdate) they appear from top to bottom - I am using a left to right chart. 1850, 1855, 1857, 1860, 1839, 1844, 1845, 1848, 1852. Strange, eh? If you tell me how to attach images, I can do that when it gets strained out. Pat

Virginia, I was using VCF to make a family group chart as you have demonstrated here. However, when I create my chart, the children do not appear in chronological birth order - anyway to achieve this other than cut and paste from box to box? Thanks a lot. Pat

That worked! Thanks Virginia.

Virginia, Thank you for your help - setting up the dummy port worked. Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner but we were without power due to the recent snow. It may be a coincidence but since I set up the Acrobat reader, anytime I click on the "Add a Person" icon on the Standard Toolbar, the program locks up completely. I have uninstalled and reintstalled the program but it continues. All the other icons work fine as does the drop down menu of add a person. Seems very strange that this would be related to the Acrobat reader..... Thanks to both you and Jim for your help.

OLE IDispatch exception code 65535 from CDINTF~2:DEVMODE is NULL Check that the printer is installed correctly.. 159 REPORTOBJ.MRRWREPORT Checked printer and that seems ok

Jim, Thanks for your quick reply. These are the steps that I try to see the report on the screen. I set the report parameters, set "print preview", click on create report. I can see the report generating - for example, it says there are 144 events in my "list of events" report. It says the screen will close automatically in 4 seconds - when it does close, nothing appears on the screen. Now I tried your suggestion and went to File and installed the PDF printer and then created a report and said Save to Acrobat (PDF) but I now get this message. Hmm - how do I insert a screen shot in this message that I saved as a jpg?

I am running V7.04 with Vista on a 64 bit machine. I cannot view any reports at all in any mode - can't see print preview, print or to a document or PDF. The report is generated but when I try to see it any of these modes, I get nothing or a Conversion Error message. I have done a repair and I also have done a reinstall with no results. I have read the forums and see that others have had problems but I haven't see that people can't get any three of the modes (print preview, print, or to a document) to work. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated as this is quite limiting. Thanks.

I would like to print a "list of people" report that lists all the people in a particular cemetery in my database. Is there a way to also print next to each person how I am related to them? I have the "Relationship feature" enabled in my project. Thanks.

Robin, Thank you so much - I can't believe I didn't see "delete a line". I am also having trouble with the Data box when you configure a chart - the option where you can tell what tags to include in the box. I have selected specific tags but the default ones (b,m,d) keep showing up - not the ones I pick. Any suggestons? I really appreciate the time you took to answer my post.

How do you edit the height of one box in the ancestor box chart - I deleted some text in the box and now have blank space in the box so I would like to decrease the height. Thank you.
