No, I tried turning it off and on, re-booting and optimizing. I'll try it again. Thanks, Kaye

Is there a particular place to post questions by new users? Or should I just use the TMG v6 Forum? I'm just importing data and beginning to use the program, so feel I have many very basic questions that I'm not sure where to ask. Jim Byram has already helped a lot, but I don't want to be a pest. Thanks

Thanks Glenn, I will join the mailing list this afternoon. K

Thank you Virginia. I've been studying Terry's tips and find them really useful. I've also been looking at Lee's site. I have the book "Getting the Most ......", done the guided tour and already found a user group. BUT I didn't know about the Mailing-L. I'm very familiar with the RootsWeb-L lists (I actually moderate one) and will be joining it shortly. The next meeting of the user group isn't until 3rd week in Nov and I have questions now. I just didn't know where to ask them. So the List will be great. Thanks so much. Kaye

Jim Byram replied to my first post regarding this problem, but after answering his questions and giving more information, I haven't heard anything else from anyone. I want to get starting using TMG, but am not sure if I've lost any information or not during the import. After importing my data I'm getting a Windows Error window that says "Program Error" then "Numeric Overflow Data was lost" I have the option to cancel, ignore or ask for help. If I click 'Help', it says that the help file cannot be found. If I click 'ignore' the window goes away and things continue. I might get this error 2 or 3 times and then everything seems fine and the import appears to be complete. Do I need to worry about this? I don't know if I've lost any data or not. Mind you this is a WINDOWS error window, not a TMG error window. I just don't know what it means. In answer to Jim's questions: I'm importing from the Welcome screen and importing a Generations 8.5.1 file with only about 3100 people in it. I have TMG Gold 6.04 with the new update installed. My computer is running Windows XP. I'm a new user of TMG and this is my first import. I've tried it several times (even with a smaller portion of my Generations data) and I get the same Windows error message every time. Sometimes more than once before the import is complete. Does this help? Thanks

On the screen of posted topics, can someone tell me what the little black dot on the blue file folder to the left of member name means? There is a legend at the bottom for the different colored folders and symbols, but the black dot is not there. I've twice posted a question in the TMG v.6 Forum and both have the little black dot and no replies. (Well one reply asking for further info, but then the black dot.) Have I been black balled or asked something I shouldn't have? If so, I certainly didn't mean to. I'm trying to import for the first time and keep getting an error message that I don't know what it means. Help!
