Thank you for your possible solution. Currently the database is 75% usable with the default TMG configuration. What I was able to come-up-with that is working: For the existing database that I'm having issues with I was able to simply list them as living (y) and this removed them from those who have passed exhibits..(I neglected to mention that exhibits were where I was having a problem and there was involvement with Second Site III software.) Then I configured a user item for SS and the exhibit issue was solved. For new entries that reproduce the problem I just remember to list the entry as living (Y).
