Hi Bev,

Thanks for the thorough response about Bygones that uses File Maker.

I've downloaded it and am now trying to see how to use it. I've yet to
see how I can assign more that one name to a document or picture record. I
would hope to use the index to see all of the records that I have for any
one person in a multi-person document, picture etc.

Dave
