Just a short note, Max.

 

Since you are using TMGv7.03 I've moved this topic from the TMGv6 support forum where this post originally appeared to this TMGv7 support forum.

Other than that the unexpected behavior Max describes becomes visible when printing a Journal report to Word 2000 or later.

 

Regarding ID-Numbers: TMG ID numbers don't have leading zeros so that 435 will be sorted after 3234. With that being said: the number 435 is higher than 3234 and therefore is sorted after the latter.

 

So what you really seem to want is to sort those people in question in chronological order depending on their date of birth.

Thank you, Vera.

I am afraid that the sorting algorithm of MS Word puts the people in this order and that we cannot force a chronological order with TMG.

In John Cardinal's Second Site the sorting is done better. In the SS-output I find the alphabetical/chronological order as I like it.

When I create a people index sorted by surname, the sorting is not fully consistent. The index correctly displays the names in alphabetical order, followed by a correct alphabetical order of given names. However, equal given names are then sorted by the first two or three digits of the ID-numbers that follow the given names in parentheses. Within equal surnames, this procedure lists e.g. a Miller John (435) (1750-1788) after a Miller John (3234) (1820-1855). It would be nice to have equal names in a chronological order i.e. in the order of increasing birth dates (or at least in an order of increasing ID number).

Is there any solution for this problem?

Is it possible to create a group of tasks for a family?

I have input tasks against each individual however I would like to be able to select all the tasks for a family as I have many family groups.

I can get a print of all tasks per individual but for a large family of 10 plus parents this means 12 individual pages.

I have tried creating a focus group of a family but there does not seem to be an option to use an FG in the Task List.

I have also read that it is possible to send reports to MS Excel but when I try it does not appear in the drop down list but Excel is ticked in preferences list of applications to send reports to.

 

My aim is to get a printed list of tasks with comments I have input for a family or larger group.

 

Appreciate any advice on this.

I am using keywords for the research tasks. It is then possible to select specific lists of tasks for any keyword or combination of keywords using an approriate filter.

In Europe it is also a common practice to use N. N. (= nomen nescio) for unkonwn names.

Hi, Jesper,

 

as I already said in my previous message both the "May" and the "Oct" issue will be fixed in next release of TMG.

I am using the German language option and have a similar problem (TMG 6.09). However, it is not limited to the spelling of the month. The date fields do not accept any date format, except the four digits of the year (e.g. 2006).

I have the same problem for the field "Completed". It is not possible to enter a date dd.mm.yy or mm-dd-yy. I can only enter the year without an error message l(anguage also set to German).

Max

Thank you Paul. This was indeed the simple reason.

I am using TMG 6.07 and have one project only. In all reports except the “list of tasks” the ID-Nr. is printed without a preceding data set number. However, in the above mentioned report, the ID-Nr. appears as (1:xxxx). Is this a normal feature or do I have a problem in my project data?

Introductory pages with historical background. Most pages are in German.
