	Linda I was doing my search wrong - I was doing it the logical way Claire showed further down the thread the illogical way to do it :) Dont use the main bmd search use the one on the right :) Oh I now see you are far more familiar than I with the programme.

	If you think a 1/4 is missing, try this Say you are searching for Jones & nothing comes up, try Jon* & the using the page forward or back If that doesn't work, try Jom* or Jop. Keep going like this until something comes up. works as a wild card & produces a list of all names with this prefix.

	OK I am fixed now!!! If anyone else has problems with Ancestry / FTM saving docs to anywhere other than shoe box check what version of windows you are on. If you are on 98 (like me) you need to go to the help section in Shoebox and download the Fix! I am now begining to like this as I slowly get it working.
