Bob,
Thanks for this. I will hang on to it...since it will take a bit to get
all of these ins and outs into my head!

>>Hi Priscilla,
>>
>>If you are wanting to add a wife to a man in your file,
>> go to the man (in Family View)
>> click in the (wife) window to the right of the man (it says "Click
>> to add person')
>> choose 'Add a NEW person'
>> enter the wife's information
>>
>>and you are done.
>>
>>
>>'Link' is different from 'Add'. I believe you simply want to 'Add' a wife to
>>an existing man, so I won't get into the difference in this reply.
>>
>>I hope this is answering you question.

>>When I try to add the wife, I get a box asking if I want to add a new person
