Subject: TMG-L: Picklist of people showing spice
Date: Mon, 21 Feb 2000 22:46:21 +1300

I need to add spice to my life, well to my picklist actually.

I'm probably missing something, again, but I can't see where I can
create a picklist that would show at least:
Name of person, Name of spouse, marriage date, marriage place

I can create the list of event report for tag type Marriage but that
won't creat a picklist.

I can create a picklist of people, but that won't show the spouse (or
location, a previous wish list item).

I'm still having withdrawal symptoms from my previous way of finding
people in my other package, where, at the touch of one button, I could
switch between whatever indexed lists I'd created. The first was
usually all people, ordered by "soundex surname, first names, birth
date". The second a list of married couples, the third, a list of
sources.
All filters ended up as "picklists" in whatever order I chose.

Don't get me wrong, I'm loving the program, just finding it very hard to
quickly find the people/events I want to work with as I dodge around my
rather large database. I guess it teaches me for being a bit of a
magpie and accumulating too much data, but that's what databases should
be able to make it easy for you to both organise and to find again.
