Sorry, but you all don't know who you are dealing with here. I confuse
easily
and struggle with much of TMG actions.

Here is what I have done so far: Set a flag titled "KEEP" and got the
baddies flags as N and my real family's flag as Y.

Then I get into the List of People report and have the Secondary Tab set so
that "create new data set" is checked, and "Change flag 'KEEP' to Y. I am
not sure what the FOCUS tab should be set to. Does this make any sense?
