I just noticed these posts, and want to add a tip that will make this process easier, and without printing a list of potential problems.
Notice that, on the first tab of the Potential Problems setup window, there is an option to tag all the records found. I always use Tag 1 for temporary lists like this, so I clear all Tag 1s and tic the box that says "Tag all problem records on tag #." Make a list for only one potential problem at a time. Now click on Preview, and get a list, which you can close. Now you can go back to the Family view, and use the "Individual Tag" box in the lower right hand corner of the window, to jump to the next Tag 1. Since only records with one potential problem were tagged, you know that all those who have a Tag 1 will be those with the potential problem you selected, and that is what you will be looking to correct. Repeat this process for other PPs you want to list. I usually make a list first of many kinds of PPs, to find which ones I want to zero in on, when using the process I have described here. Using the Individual Tag box to jump to the next tag number makes this process faster and easier than printing a list.
