Mark,
If you go to OptionsCustomiseView there is a check box for showing child
status, however in v7 at least it doesn't seem to do anything, not on my set up
at anyrate. It is not something I have used so I don't know what it should do

Have you indicated that the child is a twin? I had to do some figuring to
see how to do it.
Display the parents in family view. Right click on a parent and select
View then Children List...
Then highlight the desired child and enter Twin Stillborn, Adopted
etc. as appropriate in the Child Status

I wonder why the picture would be clearer depending on who you enter first!
The data you enter is the same and as your speaker noted, numbers are not
important, and this must work both ways. I have myself as the first person
and nothing is lost for either of my children. Perhaps the reference was

Connie,
Whilst you are correct is saying that when it concerns written reports the RINs
have no value, that is not true when it comes to web pages. In fact without
them there would be no Pedigree web pages which are based on the RINs.
