Bug in 2.18? - Crash on unlinking spouse

Great! Those circumstances sound entirely consistent with what I observed. Naturally I feel chuffed my report may have helped improve an excellent product.

Bug in 2.18? - Crash on unlinking spouse

I have sent you the .ged. Thanks for looking into it. I should say that my initial experience with FH of adding 800 new people to my file was much more pleasant than on the previous two programmes I have tried - Brothers Keeper and Kith and Kin Pro.

So I am all set, except I need a big printer with a role of paper for all those fancy diagrams I can...
