Before deleting your database I tried this. Indeed the "Husbands of..." screen does immediately come back listing two totally unrelated individuals. But if you close it and look at RIN 9 again you'll see that she only shows one (the correct) husband. That must be some sort of bug which shows up on the "Husbands of..." screen when it gets refreshed after an unlink. Someone else will have to check V7 to see if this bug is still present. >No reason at this point not to experiment some more, but I'm pretty sure that >I will have to fix that by reloading the backup... I think not. As I said above, you are seeing erroneous data on the "Husbands of..." screen which is not really in your database. Just close the screen and look again. -- Dennis Kowallek (LTools) http://zippersoftware.com/ltools/index.htm http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ltools P.S. Post in plain text if you want me to read it...
