Windows Vista TMG Gold UK v7.04.000 It has been 3 months isnce I last did a backup in TMG and it now appears to be failing when tryimng to create a new backup file, with the following message: Input file read failure - This error occurs when a file read operation is performed on a ZIP file that is locked or restricted by another process There is no other info about which file is the issue and I am getting this issue even if only TMG appears to be running. Any ideas why this has started happening?

I am entering Marriage certificates, both GRO copies and originals. When entering an original, there is a default entry field of RD Ref. What should be entered in this field? Looking at original post-1900 cerificates, I am not sure what reference I can enter. Cheers Mark

I know this is possibly the wrong forum but I could not find an appropriate forum. I have downloaded the gensmarts trial program and am trialling it now. This seems to be a little out-of-date regarding the sites (eg 1837Online which was renamed some time ago). Also, it is very US based e.g. Ancestry.com when I use Ancestry.co.uk - I know that seems minor but it is a better site for me because of the different search options for English BMD info. If I buy this software, is it the same or is it much more up-to-date and can be tailored to UK sites? Cheers Mark

In changing to use TMG7 (UK edition), I imported my FTM gedcom file into TMG. This was some time ago and appeared fine. However, I have discovered that Occupations were placed in the Town and Country fields in the Occupation tag. I have literally thousands of these tags. Is there a means of moving these into the Memo field automatically rather than do it manually? I do not have any Occupation tags with real place names entered and just have a handful that are recorded correctly (occupation in the Memo field with the place names empty), either because they are new to my file or I noticed them and fixed them. Cheers Mark

Run optimize. File / Maintenance / Optimize Thanks, I discovered that earlier and now am getting RSI! lol

Thanks for that. Just one strange thing I have noticed with this though. The Master Place Names list is displaying some such occupations in the place name fields on this list even though I changed them yesterday. In fact, when I press Events, there are none, and I have confirmed by finding the person manually that the text has been moved out of place names into Memo (chose a unique occupation to prove this). The list appears to hold historical info that is no longer in Place Names. Any ideas how to refresh this? Cheers Mark

I thought I would download the 30 day trial and give this software a go. Unfortunately, every time I have tried to run the install, it gets stuck when trying to copy the following file: c:\windows\fonts\foxfont.fon The installation just hangs at this point. Eventually, I have to end the task. My laptop is Windows XP. I have attached a screen print of how far the install gets. At this point, it is not responding I am not aware of any problems on my laptop and wondered if anyone else had had a similar problem? Cheers Mark Master_Genealogist.bmp
