Hi Jenny Thanks for your help and guidance. I now understand that there is no global search facility across all database fields. Can you give me some guidance as to how to search the notes fields please. Is there a video guide on this? I have looked at the search facilities but cannot see how to do the search. Thanks Mike

Do you mean that "Grange Farm" might be within any of the 6 Notes fields? Unfortunately, Legacy can only search on 3 criteria at a time so to cover all the Notes fields you would need to Search twice. There isn't a global Search which searches every field in the database. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
