Jim, Terry Many thanks for the advice Allan

allanpeter started following Citation Reference

Is is possible to include Citation Reference in Footnotes/Endnotes?

Thanks Virginia. The problem remains that the 'Save To' continues to have jusr Acrobat, ASCII and RTF displayed. I've told TECH Support that I can live with what I've got, but if they want me to play with my configuration against their instructions to help them try and find the fault I'm happy to do this. Allan

Virginia, Tech Support recommended that I do a re-installation in Safe Mode. I now no longer get any of the warning /fatal messages, which were causing my paranoia. This means that the re-installation has given me back a usable system. Although there is still a discontinuity between File-Performance-Reports displayed list of Options, and the list displayed in the Report Narrative Definition screen, because I still have access to the RTF option, I can once again produce and save reports with end/foot notes and, if I want, convert them to Word format. I can easily live with this. Allan

Many thanks Virginia. error.txt is certainly a well-populated file! This morning the sequence was (<my action>: <Report - Descendant Indented Narrative> 24-08-2010, 07:49:25 107Operator/operand type mismatch. 13 ISOUTFILETYPE <Ignore> 24-08-2010, 07:50:00 107Operator/operand type mismatch. 9 FRMRDS_PEOPLE.CNTREPDEST.MSETCONTROLS <Ignore> 24-08-2010, 07:50:42 107Operator/operand type mismatch. 13 ISOUTFILETYPE <Ignore> 24-08-2010, 07:51:11 107Operator/operand type mismatch. 9 FRMRDS_PEOPLE.CNTREPDEST.MSETCONTROLS <Ignore> 24-08-2010, 07:51:36 107Operator/operand type mismatch. 13 ISOUTFILETYPE <Ignore> 24-08-2010, 07:51:41 107Operator/operand type mismatch. 9 FRMRDS_PEOPLE.CNTREPDEST.MSETCONTROLS <Ignore> 24-08-2010, 07:51:43 107Operator/operand type mismatch. 13 ISOUTFILETYPE <Ignore> 24-08-2010, 07:51:45 107Operator/operand type mismatch. 9 FRMRDS_PEOPLE.CNTREPDEST.MSETCONTROLS <Ignore> 24-08-2010, 07:53:21 107Operator/operand type mismatch. 13 ISOUTFILETYPE <Ignore> Display of Descendant Indented Narrative with empty File type box I wonder if there is a connection with the message 'File 'outtype.dbf' does not exist'.

Jim, Michael, Virginia, Terry. Thanks to you all for your support on this. There seem to be some fundamental issues with the application, like calling for a .dbf file that doesn't exist, and locking me out because it thinks there is another person using the program. I have put the problem to 'support@whollygenes.com' who, I hope, have the technical resources to figure this out. If there isn't a quick (and robust) solution I will most likely revert back to populating my previous software package. Whilst it doesn't have some of the nice features of TMG, it also hasn't given me any problems for the past ten years. Best regards Allan

When I close that I get a new message 'file outtype.dbf' does not exist. When I Ignore that I get five further different messages, and then get thown back to TMG Preferences - Current Project Options - General. If I then click on Project Options - Reports the display is empty.
-
No. For Reports I get four more different message when I Ignore, and finally a message saying 'The report definition is in use by another user' which I cannot close. For Preferences I get two different message on ignore, and then a display of the Program - The Master Genealogist v7 folder contents
-
I get the same messages with the sample project on both Reports and Preferences

tmg7setup.exe - Size 44.3 MB (46,552,735 bytes) Size on disk 44.3 MB (46,555,136 bytes) tmg7.exe - Size 40.6 MB (42,636,703 bytes) Size on disk 0.6 MB (42,639,360 bytes) ... so no difference there.

Would it help if I sent over a .doc with a sequence of screenprints? The installation program (tmg7setup.exe 05/08/2010) has 45,462KB. The application itself (tmg7.exe 13/02/2009) has 41,638KB. Are these complete?

Virginia - It is doing it again!! 'File in use by another user'. The only change I have made from when it was working properly on my re-installation (when it had reverted to being an unregistered 30-day trial copy) is to enter my Serial Number in order to register it as a licenced copy. Could the system be tripping up over this?
-
Many thanks Virginia I've found all the folders as you indicated. I hope I'm not going to need to access them for any reason, but it's good to know where they are. Allan

Jim, I have got to where you intended me to get to, but not quite by the same route. I uninstalled TMG, and then renamed the remnant folders. I then reinstalled TMG, checked the Preferences - Reports, ran the Validation, and then ran three reports satisfactorily. I then received your note, and had confidence to delete the two remnant program folders. I then looked for the TMG data folder, but found only the one which I assume to be the current one. It looks as if my 'multiple' re-installations did not create a new data file each time, which might explain why, on looking at Save as File type, I found only the Word 2000 ... option listed - which I had set up with a previous installation. Looking back on the 'saga', the reason why I got locked out when I tried to bring 'Word 2000 ...' into the dropdown list is still obscure - at that time I was running on the original TMG installation. The reason why I created a program folder for the first re-installation into which TMG created its own new program folder was because I misunderstood the instruction. - I won't go back to recreate the circumstances where the instruction was displayed - I am just happy to be 'out of the woods' Many thanks Allan

A possibility... When I de-installed TMG using Windows Add/Remove programs facility, the facility would not remove the folder: The Master Genealogist v7. When I re-installed, the TMG installation program would not let me reinstall into the folder: The Master Genealogist v7' but made me create a new folder - which I called The Master Genealogist v7 install 2 - and into which the installation program installed a new folder called 'The Master Genealogist v7'. Is the new installation looking for data in the old installation? Ideally I would like to save a backup of my data to a safe place, and get rid of everything and start again.
