I was having some problems copying the person to the other data set. I
appears in the same set even though I checked it to go to another one. I
know I'm missing the final step. What do I do after it's done and still
sitting in the same data set?

Thanks Terry for the information. This is one of the things I haven't
learned to do, as yet.

Yes, Barbara, that is a good idea to keep two data sets of the same
people for both outputs. I have three that I work on. One is my main one
and the other two are from it, but a fuller group of two lines. I like
to do a lot of tinkering for SecondSite and find it won't always come
out right for a TMG narrative. I use the narrative option for SecondSite
too.
