Ken
Thank you for responding. GREAT to have a reply.

Do me a favor and look at that tag again... and at TMG. The surety is 3xxxx
period. TMG does not change the surety placement for Son or Dau tags. I
think it is a BUG. If I enter surety of 3xxxx, I expect it to stay that way
and to be reflected as such on ALL screens. TMG does not change value
placement OR if it does, I'm not aware of when . If this is normal, then
FSTS is changing the method by which we have entered sureties in the past.

I'm so pleased someone else is also looking at this even if we don't agree.

: Rae,
: Someone else may comment, but I think this is normal behaviour. On the PV
: of the parent the Son or Dau tag shows the surety as X3.xxx because the
: child is the second principal person, the parent is the first. When you
: open the tag you are looking at the child's record and the child is first
: principal, hence the surety shows as 3X.XXX
: Hope nobody contradicts me!
