Laury, If I am reading you correctly your answer is; Options | Customize | General, Displaying Surnames and check or uncheck the box you desire. Hope this helps.

Problem 1: I was working on my file tonight and received yet another run time error (and I foolishly didn't write this one down; I just closed the file and rebooted) and now all my surnames are altered and have forward slashes in them, ie /WALKEY/. The slashes don't show up in Edit individual mode, but in Family View, in the Name List and on some reports, I get the forward slashes. I cannot remove them from the names when I go in to edit mode because they don't show up in the surnames. All my backups have the same problem. Is there any way I can remove these slashes so they don't show up in my file? And am I doing something wrong to keep getting all these Run Time errors? I'm only using the one application when I'm working on my file, though I do have several others in the background. Problem 2: I don't know if this has been covered before (sorry if it has!), but I was curious how I can enter a same-sex couple into my database. The individual in question is male, had married and had two children with his wife and then divorced her and entered into a same-sex relationship. I had him and his partner entered as male partners in FTM, but Legacy has converted the partner to female and I would like to keep it as male, with the label of "Partner" instead of "Wife". I've changed the labels already, but I can't override the male/female setting. Is it possible to change this or will I have to make a note in the file somewhere to explain that the software cannot accept same-sex relationships?
