You can set the PRS colour when in Offline Access mode using the Tools→Setup→Offline Access… menu command. This serves as a visual cue to remind you that you are viewing a read-only copy of the database (the PRS now displays a different colour by default).

The Personnel Goto (Alt+G) command is one of the most widely used PRS commands, but if the last name contains spaces the PRS sees the first space character as a delimiter between the last and first name.

For example if the last name is De Witt then searching for De W will go to the first person with a last name starting with De and first name starting with W, probably not what we’re after.

The solution is to use the ? wildcard character in place of the space — instead of De W use De?W which will find all last names starting with De, fourth letter W.
