Subject: [TMG] Relationship calculator (2)
Date: Wed, 4 Feb 2004 13:34:09 -0500


I'm a fairly new user of TMG and have been entering a lot of new data into my copy of TMG 5.11. I have recently turned the relationship calculator on and I have noticed that an incorrect relation (at least by my reckoning) is calculated in the following instance:

Parent A (direct relative) and Parent B (no relation) - if I create a child "C" using parent "B" as the "primary(?)" parent (ie. while in the "Person View" on parent "B" and click the "Add Person" button, Parent "A" - the direct relative- as the *other* parent identified in the pop-up box) once child "C" is entered into the data, the relationship calculator displays "No direct relationship."

If I enter child "C" while in the person view for Parent "A" (direct relation), using parent "B" as the *other* parent, the relationship correctly calculates the relation.

Am I incorrect in assuming that the relationship to me is the same no matter?

I appreciate any feedback to this dilemma. I think I'm going to have to go back and look at all my previous entries to ensure that I've entered them "correctly" if my assumption is not correct.

Thanks,
