Hi,

I merged two dbs expecting the trees to appear in the same area and or with links between the relevant family/person but this did not occur. The merged group is placed totally out of the tree area and can only be brought to the view area by selecting a person and using the go to button.
Also when I try and drag this group toward the top it appears to be moving but never does.
I created a new family with a person from each tree that created the family line but the line continued to infinity and I could not draw the two tree groups together.

I am using V3 and have over 1500 people in the primary db and 71 in the merge db

Any ideas, all help appreciated.

Regards
Garry

Hi,

This quite normal. Here's the procedure for moving family rectangles large distances on the Tree Area.

Use "Search | Go to family" to scroll to the group of newly-merged families. Zoom out enough so that they are visible and select them all using the selection marquee. Now use "Go to family" again and select a family from the original database (the other group). Now use "Edit | Move selection" and left-click on a clear part of the Tree Area near the original group. This will move all of the selected families to the mouse position.

Thank you Nick,

That works a treat. I played about for hours trying to achieve that result.

A lot easier than entering all those souls again.

Also thanks for the prompt reply, you not only have a great program but great support as well.

Cheers
Garry
