Yes unicode is possible in Visual FoxPro 9 but programming it may be very difficult.
For the more technical you can read about it here:
http://www.west-wind.com/presentations/fox.../foxunicode.asp
"Using Unicode in Visual FoxPro Web and Desktop Applications"
...
Summary
Using Unicode in Visual FoxPro is definitely not for the faint of heart. If you are lucky and you can get away with using a single locale specific Unicode language, Visual FoxPro’s code page translation mechanism can get you reasonable language capabilities in your application without too much extra work. Problems don’t arise until you have more than one language involved.
....
It’s a shame VFP doesn’t have better support for Unicode.
....
Whollygenes may have to change to a new database backend, which probably means starting over! Or building a bridge to a new database?
Lets hope.

No, No, No. I hated Microsoft Word so much at work that I retired early. It does what it wants when it wants, regardless of your intent. I certainly don't want TMG to lose its intuitive features.We're using Word Perfect, Lotus Notes and QuattroPro at home in a Microsoft Free Zone. We don't WANT Microsoft Word or Excel files sent to us in a message. grrr. If it's that much of a monopoly, Mickeysoft needs to be broken up. Arrrrgh. It's 9 more months until "Talk Like A Pirate Day".
hmm only talking about the program title bars working like Microsoft Office or Firefox so that it displays information about the person display in the title bar. Nothing else

Re-installed tmg and the majority of the errors above have gone:
Imported the "Number3" Language
Now when switching to the "Number3" language I only receive the following error
--------------
Program Error
Cancel
Suspend
Ignore
Help
Syntax error.
----------------
Which goes away after selecting ignore 10 or so times.
I looked in the error log under (D:\The Master Genealogist v7\Logs\error.txt) and no error is list (file is blank!)
Also when closing a form I receive the following two errors
Syntax error. 45 MYFORM.RELEASE
Syntax error. 53 MYFORM.RELEASE
Which I ignore. But would like to fix, any ideas?
-
Re-installed TMG and everything seems a lot better

You have 10-15 instances of a single TMG project open, each instance to a different person in that project? Is there some reason for multiple instances of the same project? Would it work for your purposes (and make for a less confusing taskbar) to put the 10-15 people into a Focus Group in a single instance of TMG and select each person from there?Virginia
Different projects open on different people and sometimes the same person but on a different details tab (the detail tab is a problem as you can not have two details windows open at the same time eg: Person and Tree within the same instance)
I do use the Focus Group where possible.
Example of what multiple open tmg's look like from the tool bar
Difficult to see which person to select. Would like it to be more in line with say Microsoft Office.

You can rearrange the order of the items in the "Other Info" box so that the three you most want to see are visible. Right-click on it and choose "Customize..."Thank you currently using this method. I was expecting with the new method of windows resizing, that when I increase the size of the window more information would display.
Most programs that open files put the file name in the title bar. I've never seen on that added more detail than that. I don't even know if it's possible.Two good examples are Microsoft Office and Firefox so it is very possible
Visual Fox Pro is very capable of this see:

Just some rambling regarding TMG7 (Please see this as ways to improve tmg)
Issues:
1- No way to cancel autosearch on the "import Wizard"
2- Person tab - Details Section - the type/value (box) - would like to be able to expand the section
so to be able to see all the tags in that box (so you don't have to scroll down)
(or even to just convert this box to a single line under the type/name box eg: Reference/Children/Soundex/Tag Count/Age/Last Edit )
(or have these tag appear in the "type/date/name/place" section at the top to the list like the Relation tag)
Terry: I was expecting with the new method of windows resizing, that when I increase the size of the window more information would display.
(I currently use the rearrange items from the "Other Info" box eg: Right-click on it and choose "Customize...")
3-Family tab - Details section - used display (children in version 4?) less relevant today.
4-On the Detail screen (why are the 3 tabs(Person/Family/Tree) together) can they be seperated and 2 extra buttons added to the tool bar?
5-Please additional Keyboard Controls - Where tabs appear can we please have an option (in addition to the arrows) to use "CTRL+Page Up/Down) to cycle thru the tabs eg:on the Details section/ and the Options section in say charts (instead of using an arrow after tabing thru all the options)

While using TMG, I have multiple(10-15) people opened, and each of the program title bars are identical
for example "Main.PJC - The Master Genealogist".
While this helps me choose the correct database, this makes it difficult to work out which instance I need to view with out selecting each individual and checking!
I would like to know if I can make TMG Display the current person's details in Title Bar of Program
for example "John Doe (1324) (1845 - 1890) : Main.PJC - The Master Genealogist" .
This would improve TMG's already great useability.
Any one? or should this be sent to support?

Thank you

Can you explain in more detail what you did here so I can try to replicate the issue? Where was the language exported from? Was it a standard language or a custom one? Anything else that seems relevant?Terry,
The language was exported from tmg7's strings.dbf file.
It is a custom language to help translate the interface and reports to Italian (Used this method last in tmg5 before losing my translated file in an install overwrite! Time to start again!)
Converted dbf to ms-access2003 and exported to ms-excel.
In ms-excel a number and minus sign ( "xxxx-") is added to the front of the language string and then saved to a dbf file.
cNumber3_xls.zip (ms-excel file)
cNumber3.zip (saved dbf file)
Import the new dbf using the language import function in tmg7
Switch to the new language "Numbers3" and the result looks like this
(Numbers3 language)This helps identify the context of the language string and where it appears in the interface.
The errors start occuring when you switch to this language.
Thanks
Sam

Mine don't look like that, mine look like they did in 6.12. I am using English2 as my language.Did you import your language files from 6.12? I did and mine look like they should.
This was on a brand new tmg7 project.
-
Created a new project in tmg7.
Go into the Language edit screen for English2 and find that the same translation strings are repeated 3 to 4 times each except some seem truncated
tmg7 language edit screenIn tmg6 the strings only show once in new projects
tmg6 language edit screenCan some one confirm this by creating a new project and having a look please.
Thankyou

Great work on the New release of TMG 7 and Happy New year to all.
Need some help with issues on Language screens.
Installed TMG 7 and find that when switching to a newly imported language tmg7 gave the following errors

I am using Windows XP SP2
Any help appreciated
Re-installed tmg and most of the errors went away!

I currently have Vmware installed and have setup a virtual machine with just win xp and my genealogy applications. Works quite well as TMG currently is quite unfriendly as a portable application. And carry this file on my external hardrive. Which means I only have to install vmware on the host machine.

I have a lot of data in Excel format, and wish to import it into TMG - I dread the tought of having to type it in.Any suggestions would be most welcomed
Pat Dunbar
Pat,
Can you paste a couple of example lines of the data and a description.
-
I find it odd that although one can export data in comma or tab delimited form, one cannot import such data. I have tons of stuff I have typed up over the years and would like to be able to import it. The most basic import I would like to do is use a special character (e.g., @) and be allowed, for example, then to use the @ to indicate givenname, surname, and all the rest of the info can go into some kind of a "dump" memo record from which I can extract data later. Does this sound workable?I also have tons of data in an AskSam database which I would like to import.
Does anyone else feel the need to import such data? Or would you say cut/paste is the only solution? Thanks.
Sam

I have some Excel files (the largest 5,000 records) and dread the thought of typing the data into TMG.Any suggestions please?

Even better see if you can use the following to convert your excel file: http://rmhh.co.uk/legacy.html

I suggest that you may be able to convert a the Excel file to a GEDCOM and then import the file in to TMG.
Have a look at the following website:"http://www.tedpack.org/text2ged.html" for a possible solution.

This would be great to have.

Jim,
The labels I requested to be output are not? Why?
Experimenting I see it affects all "heading" column labels for output to csv and limits you to 10 characters, the label you choose is ignored and changed according to some undisplayed rules, some examples:
- The default label of "Addressee" with a capital "A", outputs as "addressee" with a lower case "A"
- I create a label of "Print_My_informative_Label_please" and it outputs "printmyinf" changing case and if any label is identical for the first 10 characters it makes the 10th character a number
Can someone check this please?
-
Can someone check this please.
I created a "List of Event Reports" and trying to create a CSV report including the my custom Flags
eg: PATERNAL_ADDRESS#1
I label the output column Heading to "Prin1 PATERNAL_ADDRESS#1 Flag" and output column width of 30 character.
When I view the output of the CSV the Flag columns is truncated to 10 characters and shows a different outputs name eg:in this case as "prin1pater".
Any Ideas?
Thankyou
Sam

Clearing Title Field
in Older Products and Versions
Posted · Report reply
You can use TMG Utility
http://www.johncardinal.com/tmgutil/
look under :
+functions
+Names
+Change Name Parts
The following example deletes every thing in the title field
In the filters section:
select "set rules.."
for the "filter"
select "if title" "equal to" then enter what you want to match in the next box [or] or you select "is not empty" so every title field with something in it is changed.
then select "add filter"
then in the actions section:
select "change title"
select "set to"
then leave the next box empty
then select "add action"
then select ok
to run the filter select "change name parts" button and check the log to see what the result could look like if it is what you want the result to look like then
untick the "log only" at the bottom of the form and re-run the filter.
(I suggest you backup your database before trying this)
