No clue about the linking. Someone the other day told me if you've changed the spelling of someone's name that could ruin the links, but other than that, I don't know an answer for you. Good luck though. Could I ask you a question. You've done such a nice job with the color coding. I've not made use of it; but one day something popped up and selected like two, but wonder is there an option to do ancestors vs descendants? AND how do you edit the color coding? I didn't do it right, but can't see how to fix it. Figured you might know since you've done so much of it.
