In TMG, to open the folder... Help menu / Access Folders / select 'User program data folder' / click [Open] The placeinfo.ini file is a text file and can be opened with Notepad. I've never used Parallels and had a dual boot system on the iMac using the BootCamp loader. Glenn Gilbert was the expert on Parallels but he isn't with us any longer.

Any particular browser?

Passed this on to Bob.

The URL for the GNIS search site had changed. All Lee posted was an edit to fix the URL. Nothing else was changed. Since I have no way to check the place search function when running TMG under Parallels, I can't be of any help. btw... I fixed the URL in the placeinfo.ini a bit differently than Lee but the end result is the same and it works fine under Windows 10. My placeinfo.ini is attached. Copy it to the correct folder replacing the existing file. "C:\Users\(your user account name)\AppData\Roaming\The Master Genealogist v9" placeinfo.ini

Nothing has changed. Contact John directly or post on the appropriate mail list. https://www.johncardinal.com/ https://www.familyhistoryhosting.com/

I was able to create an Ahnentafel with 'all images' with no error. I tried outputting to screen, to RTF, and to PDF. The error might have to do with a particular image file.

The first step is to reset the report to the default configuration and see if that works. On the report definition screen, click [Reset Defaults]. If that doesn't work, run the TMG installer and select [Repair]. (The error message suggests that a program component is missing.)

If I recall, TMG exports one Excel file for each TMG data table; however, I hit an Open dialog error when I try it. Is doing that useful? Not that I can see.

Why not just clear the view history?

This is the "navigation" issue that was supposedly fixed many years ago. I don't have any ideas other than trying a clean install.

File / Preferences / Program Options / Data Entry / unselect 'Open Reminder window automatically'

It sounds like your backup has the same data that you want to undo. Make sure that you overwrote the existing project when you did the restore and that you didn't restore to a different location.

As a first step, reboot your computer and try the restore again.

Does any real-time backup or syncing application (Dropbox, OneDrive, etc.) have access to the project? You should not allow that to occur. Sometimes, after closing, TMG continues to run in the background. Check the Task Manager and close any running TMG process or reboot your computer. Then try to open TMG and the project again.

RootsMagic has been able to do a direct import of TMG data sets since the fall of 2014 (RootsMagic v6.3.2.0). Many fixes and improvements have been made since the initial release. Family Historian has also been able to do a direct import of TMG data sets since the fall of 2014. Again, many fixes and improvements have been made since the initial release. Family Tree Maker and Legacy had direct TMG imports but both had many issues that were never resolved as far as I know. The current version of FTM no longer does a direct TMG import.

You need to be using a custom layout to do this. Try saving the layout after correcting the filtering.

Judy, Journal report / Options / Tags tab / Tag Types / select 'Selected' Then omit the custom tag type from those marked selected. Jim

I excluded both spouse ID#s and both sentences. Based on the exclusions, there is no reason that the spouse should show up in the subject's Journal report. I get the same result and can't find any workaround other than editing the Journal report.

Go to the old laptop and run Help / Technical Support / Trouble Report and that will create a document with the correct email address and registration number. Use those to unlock TMG on the new machine. Copy and paste the registration number rather than trying to type it.

Ruth, As Terry writes, focus groups are part of the TMG database. The only way that you can edit them are by using the Focus Groups tool in TMG. Using the Save and Load convention makes it appear that focus groups are external files but they are not.

In the Tag Box, right-click and select' Filter for...'. Unselect 'Non-witnessed events'.

You never want places using the US style and the UK style in the same data set because of the place levels differences. Good tip about TMG Utility. See my comments two replies up.

If you use a copy of the template project that I sent and import directly into the existing data set (that has US styles), the data should be imported using the data set styles. Tested and this doesn't work. Data Set Manager / Import imports to a new data set (not the selected data set) and that will use the installation default styles. Terry's suggestion of using TMG Utility (below) appears to be the only solution and that will require editing the Master Place list to shift the levels for the place parts.

That's surprising. Your default, I assume, would be UK and you should be able to select the data set in the Data Set Manager and select the US place styles since they are "built in". Maybe a dummy person is needed. I can send you a empty project with the US styles selected. You could keep this as a template and copy it as needed for new imports.
