Ok Justin, let me try and see if I can do this right?
Sooo far sooo good

Well?  Starting from our known grandparents to the last person in the database, where-ever they might fall in the generation ( I have 5 generations so far - and growing  )

Well the way the database was that I converted from Q&A, I have a field for 'Mother', 'Father' and 'Original Parent'.  'Original Parent' being the field that I used to put the name of the 13 children my grandparents had.
I would like to enter the children to these 13 parents and have them show up in the grandparents as grandchildren and keep building on that. Right now I have the tabs and showing the info as a tableview.

I hope this is the type of info you needed to help?

If I can interject... 

Sesame does not have the self-relational query capability that I bet Justin has in mind, where you link a table to itself to dynamically generate an unknown level of relationships. However, 1.0.4 has some really nifty new X-commands that, used creatively in a loop, could possibly generate a "family" for any particular person. The result of this coould be printed or shown in the WriteLn window. This is not something you would store as subrecords, but would generate as wanted. Justin and you may want to wait until you've got these new tools before proceeding. If you want to try something along the lines I mean, XListValues is a relative of the new commands, although it does not allow for filtering, whereas the new commands do.

1.0.4 is in final testing now, and should be ready to release soon.

Actually that is how I was seeing this as going as the only viable way - that is why I wanted to know how many generations he was trying to get. I was thinking of using x-commands to get "tree" of generations.

I can't wait for the next patch - sounds like many useful tools, i'll wait till it comes out and see if we can get him a working solution

Thanks again

Justin
