Thanks Dennis. Done and all is well. My confusion was about tagging
events. Legacy help files don't always explicitly explain that tagging
an event would have no effect whatsoever on tagging individuals or
marriages. You have a great product that has helped me many times and
I'm sure will do so even more as I explore all its features even more.
Thanks again.
