Same here Bill, and it may relate to my name problem (i.e. GEDBOX keeps
saying there is no such name in the database and does it want me to create a
new one). I know the name is there but the autocomplete is either adding or
leaving something out that GEDBOX doesn't like. I am also using Windows XP
Pro.
