Graham, Thanks for asking that; I always wonder the same thing when people mention these huge databases; I think I'm at about 2800 or so in my database but then I added in about 6000 from my in laws' gedcom. But when people mention tens and hundreds of thousands of entries, it boggles my little brain. I hope you will receive some answers to this query! Kathy
