Kathy,

There IS a way to copy custom tags from one dataset to another. We discussed
the method on this list at the beginning of September, under the subject
heading "Saving Settings". The original query was about copying custom
source categories from one data set to another but I discovered by
experimentation that the method worked for copying custom flags & tags as
well.

a) Create a dummy person in the original dataset (I called him Mr Custom
Settings);

b) Use a List of People report to export Mr Custom Settings only to a new
dataset;

c) Merge (append) that new dataset to the one to which you want to copy the
custom tags/flags/source categories.
