The question was not about how good or bad it is, hence I did not comment in this area. I agree that the CR needs work, and I am sure that this will be addressed in a future enhancement.

It also had the capability of putting any fact in any column including the sources and places. It would be nice to have a column which could give the total number of media relating to a person which in turn would point out which people did not have media. FTM is developing into a very capable application. Congrats OOPS
