  1. thanks i did both. after I ran the file integrity, I rec'd a suggestion box to run initialize duplicates so I did that too. then I ran a duplicate check for matching soundex given and surnames with matching sounex parents I have 452 candidates. that isnt too bad. I am surprised there isnt a way to automatically delete batches of dupes. I will call customer support tomorow
  2. any ideas on the missing appobjectshow files? or what they even do" am I the only one that has to ignore through a bunch of windows every time I start TMG?
  3. thanks for your answers. one question for the time being - the last time I checked (years ago) there were no batch deletion process in TMG. Each one had to be done individually (or each merged by one pair at a time - I don't remember how I did it now). And I thought I had asked on this website too on merging and got a real good detailed answer - but I can't find it now. I wonder if there was a crash here several years ago or some type of information loss
  4. A site search for "deleting duplicates" only results in three posts. I have three books on TMG, the master genealogist users guide (for version 5), geting the most out of TMG, and a pdf (I cant find at the minute). If I am searching for the wrong terms, or there are chapters, pages etc you could direct me too, that's appreciated as well I've had TMG for well over ten years probably closer to 15 (now version 7), however I have never quite gotten the grasp of it. I have added and added dta sets through the years, lost some, etc. I am moving to a family farm soon and (ironically) will have access to genealogy groups, etc. for the first time in years (my current county has about 3 people per square mile and the counties nearby arent much more populated) so hopefully my research will pick up then. I just got TMG set up on my desktop and laptop and am experiencing the following. If anyone has any advice on these duplicates please advise. I met a relative online in Florida that is making alot of progress on my line and I am trying to clean up my file before converting it to gedcom for him. I would really appreciate it if someone that understood what was happening would break up the below lines and give me a quick explanation of each When I search for myself, I get two responses for me. In the drop down list above this result list it says search all data sets. However, both entries for myself have the same ID number. what does this mean? Apparently I have two entries in the same data set? The above mentioned drop down list gives me 3 options: all data sets, all unlocked data sets, and one named data set, "1: (Surname)2003imported on29oct2003" (I have since (2008) married and have two sons, and my wife and sons are also associated to my name in the results. and I have backed them up several times) how can I tell the name of the data set associated with an individual? One of the results for me has an asterisk, the other doesn't. My parents associated with the entries for me also have the same ID numbers (in both trees my father is 3653 and my mother is 4290. My father and I have the same name, (I am a jr) so the search for my name name shows his just below. He also has two entries below mine. Except he has two different IDs listed. One is the above 3653, the other is 8175.Both of them are asterisked as primary. When I follow each of them, they both have me listed as son. When I search for Southey (surname), I get two results, both asterisked as primary, and with different IDs (3175 and 8245). 3715 doesnt have a father, 8245 does (William). (William is the first of my american line I believe, he's the first in my files at any rate) When I follow Williams descendants down three generations, (southey, jessie, charles everett) I have no duplicates until charles everett. He had ten children. On his family page, on the person view, it shows a duplicate for Robert Edwin (my great grandfather). Both are the same ID number (626).However the children pane shows 11 children, doesnt duplicate Robert Edwin, but does duplicate Jessie Arthur, one entry giving him the ID 3639, and the other entry doesnt even have an ID. this is just an example of what i am facing. one more thing. Everytime I start up TMG, I have to click through about a dozen error windows (ignoring them). Then it starts and appears to be fine. here are the following errors the first error is exhibits folder not found. do I want to use the default exhibit folder. I have to answer no then click ignore through the following files not being found 59 appobjectshow 61, 62 , 64, 65 ,67, 68, 69, 72, 75, 77, 78, 79 all appobjectshow Sorry if this should be more than one thread, once I got going I couldnt stop

    Sorry I never got back to you guys. I got tired of messing with MACs and bought a 300 dollar emachine. I noticed you made a thread for MACs Glenn.

    for some reason I dont have any sqz files in the backups folder. I have a project in the project file though. I found two old SQZ files in my email archive (that when merged constitute my latest sqz file that is back home and not with me). I downloaded the sqz files, opened tmg, file then restore. I navigated to one of the downloaded sqz files and restored it. Then I received an error message that stated File does not exist "62 APPOBJECT.SHOW" I clicked abort and got a box message that stated Array dimensions are invalid. I went to file maintenance and validate, got a message it may take several minutes then immediately another message that stated unknown member AFORMS. 18 MENUOBJTMG.MVALIDATEINTEGRITY. I clicked retry, nothing, clicked ignore then the same message except 19 instead of 18. I feel like I will have to format my hard drive in order to get tmg to work. I cant do a clean uninstall it seems.

    yes maam I got tired of messing with mac and went back to pc. I bought a pc laptop and pc desktop. I live out in the middle of nowhere or I would've joined a local genealogy group by now. Its seems difficult learning TMG without alot of help from others, but no doubt will be worth it when I get it learned (I've had it since before version 5). Thanks for the help

    thanks but I dont know what any of that means. I searched restore on this site's forums, and found no answer, and searched the programs help. i have a TMG manual book, but not with me, I am with family several hours from my house (parents, in laws, etc) and was hoping to get some work done on my tree. If you could esxplain restoring and validating I would appreciate it

    I open the last project, I get a message that states the exhibit folder was not found and asks if I want to use default exhibit folder. The now box is darkened, so I go with that. I get an error message that reads "Alias 'FILE_N' is not found 11467 FIXLAST_EDIT" If when I open the last project I choose to use the default exhibit folder, I get the same error message.
  10. program association in w7 64 bit

    I deleted both installations, rebooted, installed a fresh one. Now when I try to open a saved project, I get an error message that I am missing an alias file, If i ignore, it I get another error message I am missing an alias, file this goes on for over a hundred, then finally the program shows a blank screen any more ideas?
  11. Somehow my tmg files were associated with dreamweaver8. I can open tmg, but the "open last" box is shaded out and unavailable. If I go to the project folder in windows explorer and click on it, it is associated with dreamweaver. I tried to associate it with tmg, but couldn't navigate to the tmg program (I couldnt find it). Where is it listed? Then I uninstalled the program, and reinstalled it, Now when I try to run the program I get an error that it didnt install correctly. I try to reinstall and get a message that I already have tmg installed and must install new installations into another folder. I think I just need to delete every thing tmg and start over, any ideas? Apparently I can't uninstall the program either. Someone please advise
  12. any ideas why? has anyone been successfull with SL, CW8 and TMG7?
  13. when i try to restore a sqz file from tmg7 under crosover i get an error message that rads invalid paths for exhibits "c:\windows\[profiles\crossover\my documents\the master genealogist v7/exhibits". you are trying to restore data files to a reserved folder"c:\windows\profiles\crossover\mydocuments\the amaster genealogist v7/exhibits" please select another folder in another location wen I uncheck the use the default path for external exhibits box, I can put in a new path to a new folder, but no matter what I ut in I get the same error please help thanks for any help I have a family reunion in amonth and told everyone I cold do wonders with tmg so they are expecting it ad I cant even open file.
