Is there a way to reverse the option to display surnames in upper case? Altering the option has no effect. The only reference I can find is to GEDCAPS, which I downloaded but I can't get to work (on a copy of my gedcom file!)

If the option has no effect I presume you have typed the names in uppercase.

Turn off the option and retype one to confirm this.

What error do you get when using GEDCAPS? Remember you need to put the full path in for the files, or for an easy life copy the file and the program into a single directory.

Thanks very much, Jane, for the usual speedy reply! It is amazing how we forget how unforgiving instructions at the command prompt can be!
I put GEDCAPS and my copy GEDCOM data file in one directory and ran the program from there as you suggest. Hey presto the change was made instantly!
Thanks again.[smile]
