Hi, In the details window and the detailed report, for events like Marriage, Son, Daughter, you can see the name and ID of the concerned person, also place, comment etc. I would also like to see the life-span of the concerned persons (like it is done in the project explorer). Often, this would give a much better impression. An example from my researches: A couple has got 12 children within 14 years. With the exception of one, all had died before their mother when giving birth the twelfth time. Most of the children died when they were less than three years old. When the lifespans are shown, you get a very good idea of the situation. Regards Helmut

Hi Vera, 1) I have the children window open, but just did not use it that way. Good idea. 2) In a printed detailed report of an individual you do not see the life-span ( it is very close to the detail window) 3) In a "Erzählender Bericht" of an individual the children are not mentionned at all !? Regards Helmut

Hi, I did already put this in a wishlist (I think twice) but did not get any reaction. Here the last one: http://www.whollygenes.com/forums201/index...ic=7484&hl= Regards Helmut

Hi, I think this should be quite easy. In the List People Report you can shoose which fields should be output. If you want the birth date, you just select Date from the birth-group. If you just want month and day, you should select two fields from the birth-group: Month and Day Regards Helmut

Hi, with TMG, you can create diagrams for the ancestors or for the descendants or ancestors and descendants of one individual. I would like to have the possibility to create a diagram containing all individuals (maybe of filtered group). Genbox Family History is able to do this. Regards Helmut

Hi, I would like TMG to set automatically the sort name and surname when adding a new person. I just do not want to have to open the person's properties again just to do some clicks to set the sort names. Regards Helmut

Hi, Nearly every day, the first start of TMG v6.11 fails. It sortly shows the message box about searching for an update and then terminates without further notice. Subsequent starts are ok. I attach the configuration file in case it helps. Regards Helmut

That is true if you trigger a "manual" check for updates from the help menu. TMG terminates, checks and restarts. I don't think that just terminating TMG in case of an automatic check is a correct/wanted behaviour. At least, it has not been before. No, there is no other window (at least if no updates have been found) in case of automatic check. There is in case of a manual check. Trying to re-attach the cofiguration file Here at last the config. It was a problem of suffixes. Helmut app.zip

Hi, Sometimes, when starting TMG, I get the following error message and TMG aborts: "Struktur-Version fehlt. Nehmen Sie bitte Kontakt mit dem technischen Kundendienst von Wholly Genes auf." (Structure version is missing. Contact tech support for assistance.) After restarting TMG again, I get the selection form for the database, then everything seems to work ok. My installed Software: Windows XP with latest updates, German. TMG 6.11 (but it happened also with earlier versions of TMG 6). Is there anything I can do? Regards Helmut

Thanks, I will try this and eventually send documentation (if it occurs again) to the thread mentioned above. Helmut

Hi, I would like to add the following to the wishlist: I usually add exhitbits (such as photocopies of church records, their transcription and/or translation ...) to the sources which are referred to by events like birth ... Now, I would like to have the possibility to attach the same exhibit(s) to the event(s) directly without doing everything again. This would imply also, that when I add an additional exhibit to a source, it would automatically be added to the relevant event(s), too. I do not know, if this fits into the concept, but it would facilitate finding e.g. the picture of a church record belonging to a birth without the need to create redundancies. Best regards Helmut

Hi, I am usually using Individual Detail reports to have a person's data in printed format because I can see or find the information quite easily. Unfortunately, witnesses (for marriages, Godparents for baptizm, midwives for births) are only included in Individual Narrative reports. I would appreciate an option to include this information (name of the witnesses) also in Individual Detail reports. Regards Helmut

Hi, I have installed TMG v6.09 (in German) and wanted to try the new message manager functions. I ran into the following problems: 1) When I start the message manager (help/message manager) I get a small window, saying (translated from German "Kann keine Nachrichten empfangen, da keine Internetverbindung gefunden wurde."): Cannot receive messages because no internet connection was found. After that, the message manager window opens. 2) If I got to the Outgoing tab and klick on "Access the company website", my browser (Firefox) opens and tries to access this site: http://\\www.whollygenes.com/ Of course, it fails. My internet connection is XDSL, accessible any time (Check for updates works without problem). Any help is welcome. Regards Helmut

Hi, Alternatively you could open the backup (.sqz file) with winzip or similar and extract the wanted files (.rpt, maybe .xpt ...)1 Regards Helmut

Hi, a wishlist shows the user desires. But has Microsoft already agreed the implementation (and given a date) ? Regards Helmut

Hi Karla, The situation is still the same. Unicode is not supported due to the restrictions of the underlying database. I have the same problem with Czech characters. Regards Helmut

Hi, unchecking the option "Send URLs to the browser with backslashes" solves the problem with the whollygenes URL. I do not have a mm.log. Regards Helmut

Hi, I would like to have the possibility to enter dates in the format from x to y or maybe between. This would be useful for profession, residence or other lasting events. Is there a chance to get this? Regards Helmut

Thanks a lot. It seems I did not read the help texts carefully enough. Regards Helmut

I would like to do the following and up to now I have not succeeded: I have (scanned) documents that give information to more than one event, i.e. a lot of them is combined record for birth and baptizing or contains birth dates of more family members. I want to create an (general?) exhibit for each of these documents and then link this exhibit to several events (i.e. birth and baptism). Is this possible? Up to now I could only create separate exhibits (referring to the same file) for each event. Regards Helmut
