Event-based databases

Since I first asked about eventbased programs I've had recommendations of two
from various people:

a) The Master Genealogyist
b) Genbox

So I've downloaded the evalusation versions of each to try them.

I hope to look at them in 3 ways:

1) with samp[le data that comes with the program, to learn how to use it
2) With my own data, imported, to see what each does with it
3) Starting from scratch, to see how the event-based features work

Both seemed much improved since the last time I tried them, but I still had a
couple of problems getting started with the trial, which I hope experienced
users can help with.

In the Master Genealogist I tried to start a new project with the Wizard, and
it said "Click the Next button to continue", but I couldn't see the Next
button.

It would help to know what step in the Wizard you were on. The Next button
is disabled (but not invisible) if you haven't completed the requested
fields on that screen.

If you can't see any buttons along the bottom at all, then it would seem
that the window is bigger than the screen and you need to reduce it (e.g.,
by dragging the top edge top and then dragging the window up).

Thanks, I amanaged to do that and see the buttons at the bottom of the screen.

But then there were fields to fill in -- it asked for my name, date of birth
etc. But I could not get to the field below county, and I could not get down
to it, and could find no scroll bars to move the screen up so that I could
reach it.

In Genbox I started a new database, tried to enter an Event, but couldn't see

There is no save option i Genbox, because everything is saved
instantaneously the moment you leave any particular field. Only
exception is if you leave every field of the event form empty.

Which is why I didn't like the program.
