  1. Is it possible to print blank family group sheets? My wife and I are off to a Canadian Genealogy Conference on Thursday (October 20, 2016) and we will be visiting the Ontario Provincial Archives. We would like to take blank sheets to record our findings.

    Family Group Sheet Report>Options>General--check Blank chart and indicate the number of children sections you want included...


  2. Paul,

     

    I get an error 30 when printing to PDF as standard user. No error when running TMG as Administrator.
    The error 30 is clearly a permissions error.
    Here's a workaround.
    First I reinstalled the PDF Writer v4 running TMG9 temporarily as administrator.
    Run Regedit and open...

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\Current\Software\Wholly Genes PDF Writer v4

    Right-click on the 'Wholly Genes PDF Writer v4' key and select Permissions.

    Select Users.

    Check the 'Full Control' box.

    Click [OK] to save.

    Now I can create a PDF successfully running as Standard User.
    The PDF is created but not opened. The default application for PDF was Microsoft Edge and I changed that to Reader but open after creation still fails.
    You can double-click on the created PDF file and that works fine.
    Have to investigate this further. My notes on the PDF writer errors are not on this machine.

    More... I get the -20 error with TMG7 and the PDF Writer v3.

    And I can't get around it yet. 'Printer not activated' means the code from TMG to enable the printer driver is not being passed.

     

    Note... You can always create a PDF file under Win10 by selecting 'Printer' and selecting 'Microsoft Print to PDF' as the printer. Losing the TMG PDF Report Writer functionality is not much of a loss as long as print preview works to view..

     

    More... I can print from print preview in both TMG7 and TMG9.

     

    Found time to test work around this morning...

     

    This appears to have worked. I rarely use PDF but checked it when I was having other print problems under Widows 10. All of my print issues appear to be solved.

     

    Thanks Jim.


  3. Problem solved...almost

     

    Found that I also had problem printing to PDF....when I tried I was asked if I wanted to install PDF printer and said yes but got error and report was not created. Exited TMG and ran as Administrator, reinstall PDF printer, that worked. Tried to print from screen and that now works.

     

    Restarted TMG normally and print from screen still works....but now Print to PDF not working again....am getting message

     

    "Printer not activated, error code -20" followed by "Unable to start Print Job" followed by "Error exporting to ....."


  4. More followup

     

    Restored from last backup in 9.01.

     

    Was switching between individuals trying to get a handle on another problem I am seeing but have not reported as of yet and after making a few switches starting getting error again

     

    ErrorMarker: Numeric overflow. Data was lost. 1084 FRMDETAILS.CNTEVENTLIST.MPREPAREEVENTS3

     

    and again getting when opening a tag and click OK

     

    Have to go away this evening so I am not going to be able to do any further research on this until tomorrow.


  5. Follow up to above. Restarted TMG and now everytime I switched to another individual I get error message

     

    ErrorMarker: Numeric overflow. Data was lost. 1084 FRMDETAILS.CNTEVENTLIST.MPREPAREEVENTS3

     

    Click Ignore and can continue

     

    Open a tag and and click OK can continue.

     

    Click Cancel in open tag and no problem

     

    Am going to restore from backup.

     


  6. Upgraded to 9.02, ran VFI which completed. When closed completion window got message

     

    ErrorMarker: Numeric overflow. Data was lost. 1084 FRMDETAILS.CNTEVENTLIST.MPREPAREEVENTS3

     

    Was data actually lost and how do I tell what was lost?

     

    Aborted out of message and TMG was locked up. All menu items grayed out. Tried Centering Current Window with no results, had to CAD and end task.

     


  7. It depends on who is the focus when you add a new person. If the focus is a blood relative the relationship will be calculated, if not no relationship will be calculated. For example if you add a child to your blood related Aunt the relationship is calculated. If you add the child to her husband (your Uncle by marriage) the relationship will not be calculated. Based on my experiences and testing.

     

    That being said, it is always best to refresh the relationships every so often after entering new persons ...
