  1. Now today I am receiving an error, I have not done anything other than try to open my file... My file would not open. I said ok to the error and closed the opening screen, TMG started a "one time validation" on the file... several screen of validation started running...

    Then I received this message:

    I selected "Yes" and then my file opened and started the screen with the Layout all messed up. I am backing it up to see what is coming next... What is going on?


  2. Update...

    So I was not getting anywhere with the program. Something was interfering with the layout process.

    The last thing I could think of that I had done was to add several videos to the exhibits so I deleted those, made a backup, made a new project with no people.

    Then I restored the backup without the videos and added that backup as a new data set. I merged the datasets, deleted the restored dataset and everything seems to be working.

    NOTE: If you do this all the numbering of the sources will change making it necessary to renumber any ORA auto-template references. People numbering also changed, but that is not such a pain to work with.

    Fingers crossed it is working.


  3. Jim,

    1. I have checked the "Filter for" a bazillion times... every time I close the program I have to re-check upon opening. I have done all maintenance and optimization several times to no avail.

    2. The "Layout" will not open correctly either. I reset the window to my custom layout, save layout (even deleted all layouts and set up from scratch) Every time opening program must do all over again. All wanted areas are in open position. I can "arrange all" so at least I can see them. Something seems corrupted. What to do?

  4. In the restore the Layouts are completely corrupted. I can show all the buttons active, Details, Flags, Children, Siblings, Assoc., Image. None are visible except my Custom. I can activate the "Window" "Arrange All" and they appear, but not as in the Saved Layout. I rearranged them all and saved in a new layout, closed and restarted TMG, same results.


  5. I was adding an Obituary... all completed, acted all good... the obituary is not there... hmmm tried again... gone... tried a different person... gone.... Re-indexed several times, optimized, all maintenance... it will not hold this entry... Any suggestions?

    Rebooted system, restarted TMG and now there are no people coming up, I can see them in the search, but no window when selected.... what is happening?


  6. I use a system of an Identifying Number that runs through a family's lineage. ie; Line starts with a man, John, he is #1, his 2 children are, in birth order, Jane, #11, and Ben, #12, Ben's children, again in birth order, Sally, #121, Tom, #122 and so on.

    So this works great using the numbering system in the Reference Field until someone marry's a cousin or niece/nephew! These people really have two different trailing numbers, but for years I can't figure out how to document it and be able to search... Open to suggestions :)
