Cheri,

"Source Individual" was the term that Ron used in his original post. I was
merely quoting him for clarification, which, perhaps, confused you? I was
only referring to the ability to lock one of the two individuals shown in
the Relationship Calculator. By "calculating fresh every time," do you mean
exiting and reopening the calculator? That is not necessary. With the radio
buttons at the bottom left of the calculator you can lock on of the two
individual windows, then as you navigate the Individual View, that person
becomes the unlocked person in the calculator and their relationship to the
locked person is shown.

Paul
