I tried running a individual narrative asking to print out all obits whose memo was not empty and I got a perfect print out of all 1379 obits. Which solves the original problem I had. Individual detail still does not work for same output.

Many thanks for your help. Do you still use TMG9 or have you switched?

Unfortunately all my backups have same issue. I have tried multiple replacements of both files and all come up with same extra garbage in the printout.

What databse was used to create these data file?

Is there a way to get into the actual data file to correct it?

Many thanks.

Correct.

Jim

This is example of a printout of all the obits in my project (it spits out 7 copies of the same memo). I have not added exhibits in awhile:

Hi

I am getting a message that one of my .fpt files is missing or corrupted, specifically the I.fpt file. It definitely exists, so may be a corrupted data file. When attempting to print out an individual detail report, I ge:

Memo file c:\Dropbox\TMG8\2 MHSXMHSJ.FPT is missing or is invalid.

Any clues how I can fix this file?

Many thanks

After transfering TMG to new laptop, when I try to run a descendancy narrative report, I keep getting only 1 person listed per page; so if I have a descendancy list of 50 people, instead of seeing them on 2 pages, they are listed separately on 50 pages. Help!

I was able to use a prior backup and the problem no longer exists. Thanks for the offer.

I need some advise. When attempting to add a new person to the Houghton database, no new person shows up after the attempt. If I do a validate file integrity, I get the newly added person, but I still cannot add another new person. If I try to add a new husband, same problem. The TMG program is simply not accepting new people.I have to do a file integrity validation to see any new person. Any ideas? Thanks.

Prior suggestion to restart computer in safe mode was the cure. I ran it without internet connecitons, Norton, etc. But you have to make sure that computer stays on without going to sleep. TMG completed a 114,666 person database in about 9 hours with a successful completion.

Thanks for tips.

  Using gedcom export: When I do a gedcom of my 5000 person Maltese database the gedcom comes out fine. A Year ago I did a gedcom of my Houghton database (106,000 people) and got an 81 Mb file. When I now try a gedcom of my whole Houghton TMG database (114,000 people) today I get a file of 6 kb. It took several hours to complete. Any clues or suggestions?

Thanks
