In the Tag Box, right-click and clear the 'Primary events' filter under the Filter for... selections. You could also deal with this using the Tag Box options in Preferences.

Error messages are dynamic and are only meaningful to the developers. I've never seen this one. Run the TMG v9.05 UK installer and select [Repair]. That will fix any missing or damaged program components.

I don't get the error. Run Optimize, Validate File Integrity, Optimize and then Reindex. Run Maintenance / Performance Recommendations again and see if you still get the error.

Filling unused ID#s really serves no purpose. I never change ID#s since they are the base of my filing system. The next ID# should be the last used plus 1. You don't use F2 to get that. You did change the high ID# to the next available before the gap? Have you tried reindexing? Something really bad happened to get the REF_ID numbers to jump like that. If it were me, I'd revert to the last backup before this happened. You could send me your project to check before you do anything (a backup with project files, accents and filters only).

The selected output destination is "Printer"? To make sure that the program installation is not damaged, run the TMG v9.05 installer and select [Repair].

What version of TMG are you using? I'm not sure whether her father should show a relationship. Refresh the auto-relationship tag and see what happens. File / Preferences / Current Project Options / Other / click the [Refresh relationships] button. The Relation tag needs to be refreshed anytime that new people are added to the data set.

John Cardinal posted about the release of T2G on TMG-L. *** TMG to GEDCOM v1.00 is now available. *** TMG to GEDCOM (T2G) is a faster, better GEDCOM export for TMG. It includes hundreds of features to customize a GEDCOM export including features custom-designed to work with popular GEDCOM readers like Ancestry.com. TMG to GEDCOM will only work with TMG databases written by TMG v9.04 or v9.05. TMG to GEDCOM allows export templates and, initially, has templates available for Ancestry.com (public and private), GENviewer, Gramps. and Legacy. You can save your own templates for custom configurations. See the following URL for more information about TMG to GEDCOM (T2G): https://tmgtogedcom.com/en/tgn001.htm

I tried all of the different ways that you list and it never took more than 1-2 seconds to open the source list. Your project has 1438 sources.

Pam, Opening the master source list in in the project we were working on took only a couple of seconds on my system. Jim

Hopefully, you're not using real-time sync or backup on your project (DropBox, OneDrive, Google Drive, etc.). I've never seen "[conflicted] added by TMG to a data file filename so I'm assuming that some external application is responsible for this. You need to back up your project files every work session. Rebooting your system might allow a backup to be restored. I can examine your project to see if it can be recovered. Having a data file deleted by some external application is not rare and happens. That's why frequent backups are critical. You can contact me by email by clicking on the link below... Jim Byram

Yes. However, you want to update to v8.08, the last version of TMG8. There was a very important database design change made in TMG v8.05 and you don't want to be running an earlier version. You can find the download link for the correct TMG v8.08 version here... http://www.rootsusers.org/install.html

Using the 'run as administrator' option to fix the issue suggests that this was a permissions issue. It does not occur on my system. I don't understand the last line of your accent since the accents only apply when a person is displayed. Project Explorer / Contains the Person. What's the need for this accent line? I also see that the Project Explorer is not linked to other windows and that means that you can't navigate between people using the Project Explorer. Your comments suggest that the accents are calculated when the project is opened rather than on the fly when a person is displayed. However, I see nothing related to accents in the open tables in the temp folder when your project with the accents is open and that suggests that the accents are calculated on the fly when the person is selected.

I have no idea why some problem with accents would cause the open dialog problem; however, if it's fixed, it's fixed.

The error is the open dialog. What follows is of no consequence.

I can check the project. I need a backup with project files, accents and filters only. You can contact me by email by clicking on the link below... Jim Byram
