The problem here is that the first time a NEW file opened, there are no user-defined FF settings for the file. You'd need to be able to save the FF settings from a file as a named set that can then be applied to a new file - NOT AN EXISTING FILE! This way, you could have multiple FF sets to select from when a new file is created. -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg (g) 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).
