Still the same concern, the list of proposed names is empty

Hi Yves,

OK. So, you downoaded 3.0 final and purchased a key - and you've set the key within Ahnenblatt?

And now, what is this window about? Add a parent/child within the person editing window? Select a starting person for an ancestors table?

Everything I can see is that "nouvelle personne" is certainly too long to be displayed. We can fix this easily, but that's not what you wanted.

Maybe this problem isn't new, but occurs only rarely:

I tried to add a child within a person editing window. If I enter a person's name that doesn't exist yet, the software will simply add this person to the persons' database and a child relationship to it.

But if a person with that name already exists, I get a window saying "Il faut choisir..." ("You have to choose") - and below I find one or more persons that match with their name.

In some rare cases, I found an empty list, too: in AB 2.9x. It seems that the software first has the impression it could offer a matching person (with the chosen name) out of the database of existing persons - and then finds, that the relationship is an impossible construction and would withdraws the person from the selction list - an empty list remains. Not very nice - but I dodn't know whether Dirk can erase that story.

Is it different for you, Yves?

Hello,
I filled in the license key
In the attached screen shot :
I want to add Pierre MASSOT son of Pierre and Marie TRANCHARD.
In my tree i have 5 Pierre MASSOT.
When I click OK the proposal window opens but it is empty...

And you think, one of those 5 Pierres should match and show up? Maybe they are all logicall excluded, because they are children, grand children and so on?

The only reason why I got a blank selection window in the past was: I had persons with the right name, but who already were in another place in the family tree and couldn't fit in that place.

I never found a case where there should have been a matching person which wasn't shown by mistake.

So until now, the "problem" you are talking about was only a question of non-beauty to me. Or is it a real mistake?

I understood, I had not imagined the fact of the automatic exclusion of those who were in the filiation.
Thank you for your return.
