Thanks, I went to the site and downloaded the upgrade. It looks as if it is working nicely.

I bought it from TMG. I would have thought it would have said that it wasn't compatible. Who do I need to talk to to find out?

I have just installed "Map my Family Tree" and tried to use it with my main database and I keep getting a codebase error -70, and 91102. I tried it on several projects in v.7 and couldn't open any; however, I went back to v. 6 and could open those projects. Anyone have any ideas?

I have the same thing, also the longer I have been working in the program, the worse it gets. Eventually, I shut my whole system down and reboot and it seems to help. Anne of AI I have this happen a lot if I am using Alt-Tab and lot flipping back and fourth from a TMG window to a Ancestry.com window to enter data ie: census data, etc. I even upgraded my machine to 2G of RAM thinking that would help, but it doesn't. I found if I just close the program frequently and reopen it that I have the best luck. -Kris

I played around with this some more and came up with another error. The error above was because I still had TMG v7 database open. Now I am getting the same one I got last night -70 and 01102. Also, last night I got some results to show up but it just had the words: birth, anniversary etc without the person's name to go along with it.

I have On This Day and I am trying to change the link from the old project I still have on v6 to the new v7. I've gone to the v7 projects and tried to link the project and I get an error -61 and 90615 Permission opening file. What do I need to do to change the link? Does it matter than I am using the same name for the v6 and v7 files?

Last night when I was entering data, I would click on the new "repeat last source" key and the last source would appear and when I put in the surety the sources would sort so that the one with the higher surety would be on top. Today, when I click on the last source, I get source #5 or #6 which I haven't used since late last night. That's one that should have dropped off long ago, but it is still there. When I hit F3 in the field, it comes up correctly as the last source I used. I don't think I have changed anything that should make this change. I tried the feature on the sample database and it worked perfectly.

Most of the people in my database live in a township. I want the default place style to come up District, township, city, county, state etc., especially when I am adding census information. I have changed the defaults on the add new person screen so I have different styles when entering a birth, census information, marriage, death, burial (I have all these set up when I enter a new person) That part works just fine. However, when I go to enter census information on a person who is existing, it still comes up U. S. Standard even when I have gone to the Data Set Manager and changed it. What am I doing wrong?

Terry, thank you so much! I feel like a dunce. I didn't scroll down far enough once I got to "News and Information." I expected the information to be in that group and chose "Frequently Asked Questions" first and then went to the other 4 topics. I guess I must have been in FAQ when I did the search. I now feel like I have a map and can figure out where to go for the information I need.

Terry, I confess that I am at a loss on this forum. I never can find anything. Before I wrote, I searched in vain for help and couldn't find anything. I read your reply and still couldn't find the topic "Pinned: Important Upgrade Instructions." I even did a topic search using your words exactly and I still don't come up with anything. I confess to being completely boggled by this forum. I've been to graduate school and yet, I can't seem to figure out how to find information here and I usually end up asking some kind soul personally. I hate to bother you, but would you please tell me exactly how to get to the article you suggested? BTW, I finally figured out the conversion issue by myself. Now, I'd just like to learn how to use the forum. Is there one place where all the topics are listed? Anne

I am very confused about how to transfer my projects to v7 without losing all the preferences and features that I have created in v6. When I try to simply open the project in v7, I get an error that says I have my files in an area that is reserved for program files and I have to move them to either my user space or a common user space.

I go through this every time I upgrade. How do I bring all my projects into v7 without losing all my customized features?
