Subject: Can I do the following?
Date: Mon, 3 Jan 2005 02:16:22 -0000


In my use of CFT 3.14 to record (to date) 126 members of my family spanning
10 generations, the following items have occurred to me as nice to have
enhancements. Of course it may be that these features already exists, and
if someone wants to correct me on that score I'd be delighted to hear from
them.

1.Back / Forward Button
When I am navigating through my database I often want to back track. But I
didn't make a note of the path I trod to get where I am and it was non
linear, so the ability to have back, forward and home icons would be great

2.To Do List
I'd like the ability to tag IRN records with To Do items such as 'Order
grandma's birth certificate'

3.Integrity Check
I'd like to be able to run an integrity check that will generate a report of
incomplete data across the system. e.g. IRN has a marriage date recorded
but no birth date

4.Introductory Notes and images
I'd like to be able to record some introductory text and images

5.Next / Previous IRN
When I am doing system wide maintenance tasks it'd be good to be able to go
to next / previous numerical IRN

6.Dwell Text instead of tiny text beneath icons
Title says it all, I think :)

7. Ability to highlight several events and delete en masse

But what a great program - so easy to use, and with a little help from Ira I
even have it running on my home network so I can access the data base on my
notebook from my desktop. Cool!

Regards
