First of all I ran a report last night for the first time since coming back to geno pro after about 6 months. I almost cried it was so beautiful. Wow you have really done some fantastic things to the report generator. As you know from one of my last postings that I had lost my hard drive but saved my family tree to a floppy. I reinstalled the software and made some updates adding names of family members that I did not previously have, so I just called them siblings. So I made the changes, saved everything and then ran that beautiful report. For some reason the report did not recognize that I had names now for those individuals previously called siblings. The report is still calling those individuals siblings although I have given them names and saved everything prior to running the report. If you can understand what I just stated can you please tell me what I am doing wrong. I can't tell you how happy I am with this software. I LOVE IT. I am going to purchase the updated version once my 30 days is up but I wanted to know can I buy it somewhere or do I have to download it? Thanks ever so much.

Glad you made a backup on a floppy disk. Every week I receive emails from people who lost their entire drive and have no backups. There is nothing GenoPro can do in those situations .Angelsing (10/25/2005) The report is still calling those individuals siblings although I have given them names and saved everything prior to running the report.You need to detach those individuals from the family (horizontal) line. The report generator does assume two individuals having the same parents as siblings.

You say I need to detach the individuals from the horizontal line. How do I do that? Secondly, Is it possible to purchase the software in a box with instructions at all?  Thanks very much.

Angelsing (10/25/2005) You say I need to detach the individuals from the horizontal line. How do I do that?Select the vertical lines (pedigree links) and press on the Delete keyboard button. Secondly, Is it possible to purchase the software in a box with instructions at all? A boxed version is not yet available due to the frequent number of updates. If you want GenoPro on a CD/DVD, you are welcome to download & burn GenoPro yourself. This will be cheaper and quicker. The instructions will be re-written for version 2.0. You will love the new context-sensitive online help of version 2.0.

GenoProSupport (10/25/2005) You will love the new context-sensitive online help of version 2.0.What? It's the first time that I've seen this idea. Can you explain what do you want to do? (I'm thinking on the translation problem.....)

Jordi-Albert Batalla (10/26/2005) What? It's the first time that I've seen this idea. Can you explain what do you want to do?This is a new concept to deliver help. I have been thinking about this online help for almost two years. This new help system will address the following issues: - Relevance. Display to the user useful help according to his/her usage level of GenoPro. No need to read a full page of help when someone wants to know what a checkbox or a button does.
- Quality. The help will include color, bold, underline and display data from your family tree (similar to the report generator).
- Quantity. The help will be descriptive with links to other help elements so the user can learn more about the topic or similar topics if desired.
- Localizable. The translation of the help into a foreign language will as simpla as translating the text in an XML file.
Internally, GenoPro will use a "mini report generator" to generate an HTML help according to the context of the requested help.

GenoProSupport (10/27/2005) Sorry, I was unclear. The help will not requiring a connection to the Internet.So it is "case sensitive" help.

So it is "case sensitive" help.  I would say "context sensitive" help.
