What you need to do is do a List of People report using a filter that
includes only the persons desired to print on the Descendant Chart. When
you are satisfied that you have the filter correct, run the report once
more using the Secondary Output tab "Create New Dataset" option. Then when
the new dataset of only the persons desitred is created, you can generate
the Descendants Chart using that dataset. When you have finished, you can
delete the new dataset if you desire. I normally keep a "REPORT" dataset
and when I need to do something like this, I just overwrite the last one I
ran.

Take a look at the TMG Tips and Hints page of my website (URL below) for
more details on creating new datasets of only certain persons. While
you're there, browse the rest of my website see what else may be of
assistance to you.

Hope this helps -
