I installed to the default locations.

I use the toolbar icon to search for ID.

One of the error messages is:

"Alias 'REPEAT' is not found. 32REPUSH"

Well, i have Windows 7 Home Premium, 64 bit. Recent problems are now solved.

Does TMG plan to add this feature in the near future?

Since such a feature has never been requested and the current wishlist is very long, I would guess not.

 

How can one create a custom family timeline?

You create custom timelines using the Timeline Manager. I would start out by reading the Timeline Manager topic in help.

Is it possible for me to create a custom Family Timeline? If it is so simple that I could do, then wouldn't it be easier if TMG did it? We wouldn't want FTM to be one up on us would we?

The timeline feature in FTM 2009, when selected to be visible, adds events just like TMG timelines do. The nice feature with the FTM Family Events Timeline is, when looking at the Person View, you can see how old the focus person was when other family events took place during their lifetime. For example, one can see that the focus person was a certain age when his son got married or when his father or mother died.

Does TMG plan to add this feature in the near future?

I already have the children and sibling windows. That doesn't give the same information as the time line. Like how old the focus person was when their son got married or their father died, etc.

How does one go about making a timeline like the one I am describing? I would think that it would be included in the program just as it is in FTM.

Is there a way to have a Family Events Timeline in the Person View showing births, marriages, deaths, etc. of parents and children? This feature is available in Family Tree Maker 2009.

We all know TMG is the best so it should be able to do anything and everything that another program can do, right?

I did click yes and it still said that the report template could not be found.

It won't let me delete the configuration name.

"This is a standard report definition and cannot be deleted. Would you like to reset the options to the defaults?"

When I attempt to preview either the Individual Narrative Report or the Individual Detail Report, I get the message that the templates cannot be found.

The Detail Report is missing template FG_LIP0505.RRW

The Narrative Report is missing template IN_LIP0505.RRW

I must have some essential files missing. How do I fix the problem?

CHECKING FURTHER, MOST OF THE REPORTS SAY THE SAME THING. I CAN ONLY GET A FEW REPORTS TO WORK WITHOUT AN ERROR MESSAGE!

HELP!

I have the same problems as well. In addition, clicking Web Search usually opens two instances of RootsWeb (both blank).

The first to come up is LDS FamilySearch. It searches with exact spelling on. It would be nice sometimes to have a choice before searching. Besides that, it doesn't come up with any positive results. I have used FamilySearch many times and found the same person that it can't find through TMG.

I had tried out Family Tree Maker 2009 and they seem to be well integrated with Ancestry.com. It works pretty slick and even has a merge feature that lets you select which tags you want to merge into your data.

Maybe TMG version 8 will improve in this area.
