I agree wholeheartedly with Myrnice. I stopped using UFT about 2 years
ago, and never missed it. But now that Myrnice refreshes my memory, the
UFT "Family Journal" report was a great feature. I have tried many
times to figure out how to make a comparable TMG report, without success
so far. The neat thing about the UFT report was, as Myrniec points out,
the reference to where the connection goes when the surname drops out.
