Terry and John,

I just want to let you know, that I was finally able to filter the PE for the Gedcom excluding the living. I was mistakely using the "binoculars" to highlight the names (which did not work) instead of going to Window , Project Explorer. I also changed my filter to Living EQ N and I downloaded the latest version of TMG.

Again thank you.

Terry and John,

I feel priviledged to have the experts answering my question, thank you!

Terry, I only have one dataset opened.
I have tried again and it seems that when I am in PE and I click on the first name and SHIFT and click on the last name all the names, the process does not work, all the names are not selected, I only end-up with the last name. I am working with version 6.07.

John, I will try your recommendation Living equal 'N'.
I am fairly new with TMG (I switched from UFT), and I am aware of your utility program, but I am afraid to try again something new.
If I download the TMG Utility does the program automatically opens with TMG or will I need to open both programs?

Thank you again,
Anne-Marie Jensen-Ellis

The flag has a value of "Y" - not "Yes."

The Project Explorer is still open, right? And the people are still selected in it, right? Do you have more than one
data set in the project? If so, I suspect the data set selected at Step 4 of the export wizard is not the same one as the selected people in the PE. Terry Reigel
