Is there a way to open the in messed up file side by side to go through only the individuals where changes had been made over those two days? Like create a report on recently edited individuals? Or are you comfortable remembering which ones you worked on? Is there a way to see only those individuals if you wanted to? ThT would certainly help me from time to time. :-)

It was just under 1000 marriages. Now if it had been 5000 I may have made a different choice Kathy On Thursday, February 19, 2015, Brian L.
