Keep in mind that word processor output comes from a 3rd party library over which Wholly Genes has no control. When the library supports OpenOffice, TMG will likely support it as soon as that or a subsequent version of the library is adopted for use with TMG.

Twice today I have tried to set up a list of events report, created a one-line filter (once to find irregular dates and once to find memos with text) and when I click on Print & Save I got the following message:Data type mismatch. 14
FRMREPORTOPTIONS.PGFCHARTOPTIONS1.PAGE4.CNTPAGECOLUMNS.CNTOPTCOLUMNS1.CNTOUTPUTD
EF1.MSORTCONDITIONS
Please describe how you have changed the output column settings on the Options / Output Columns tab.

I've run into an error while creating a "List of People" report.1. "Operator/operand type mismatch. 0 NOSENSI"
/ / The issue is the file output to Excel and the default output column sort by name. If you change the output sort column to the birth date, the report is output to Excel with no error. Reported as a bug.
One alternative is to send the file to Word and then you can take that to Excel if you wish.

Duane,
Just an observation... You should not make changes of these types without having a backup in place beforehand. You should never put yourself in the position of not being able to revert to a point prior to something like this happening.
I see what happened and have reported the issue. Do no further work with your project. Back it up and send it to me. Back up the project files ONLY.
No guarantees depending on what you have done since using Move Person.
You can contact me by email by clicking on the link below.
-
I would suggest that you start over and try using Copy Person rather than Move Person and see if that avoids the problem. Terry is testing the Move Person issue to pin that down.

Works fine for me using v6.07.
Output template
[Title] [Prefix] [GivenName] [PreSurname] [surname] [suffix] [OtherName]
Descendant Box Chart
See screenshot.
Update... Bob's problem was fixed by editing the style, resetting the Output template, and then re-adding the [PreSurname] level label by typing it exactly into the template field. The problem came from typing [Presurname] rather than [PreSurname] as specified in the label field. The case issue has been reported.

Will there eventually be a facility within TMG for users to make/edit their own list of markers.I told you how to create a .DNA file in my email. You can edit as you wish.
-
Glenn,
Try this. Put the .dna file into your TMG program folder. Let me know if it needs any revision.

Hummmm... It also works to simply click the [Restore down] buttom to re-window the DNA Fingerprint screen and that gets things back where they started. I'll report the issue.

I'm using 6.07 Gold Ed. and on exporting to a gedcom file cannot see any address (ADDR) tags. I have selected all tag types and all events.Is this a known issue - any hints??
Level 1 ADDR tags subordinate to individual or family records are not supported by GEDCOM 5.5. Read Chapter 15 in Getting the Most Out of The Master Genealogist or check out my documents on GEDCOM export on Lee Hoffman's TMG Tips web site for some ideas to circumvent this.
-
Every time that you run VFI, follow VFI by running optimize. That will eliminate repetitive reoccurrence of the same issue.
-
I just want to know if its possible to make charts where you see all people wich you have entered? Most programs dont support that, but FTM does support it and what about TMG?(Note that this is not an official Wholly Genes response.)
No. TMG does not include an "all-in-one" chart such as you are describing.
-
I need to know where it thinks it is being used so I can check my data and either fix it to another source or delete the citation, and then delete the sourceYou have a citation to this source from a source? If so, you should be able to find it using a List of Sources?
-
No. You can indent with spaces or [:TAB:] printer codes. The memo formatting does not include implementation of paragraph formatting.
-
This issue is some sort of code problem and has finally been tracked down and fixed. Dale has tested the fix and it resolved his issue with adding/viewing text exhibits. And the fix should be included in v6.08.000.
(Now John has to find something else to keep himself occupied.
) -
(This is not an official Wholly Genes response.)
The 'trial' version is the full TMG installer and has no restrictions. It just times out to limited functionality in 30 days. By entering the registration information, full functionality is restored.

I guess I was surprised that the Source elements were being concatenated to the Source Title field and assumed it was something TMG added to be helpful. It would be helpful if there was a setting for Basic Source that only included the actual Source Title Element and Verbose Source that included all of the Elements in the Source Title.There is no 'basic' source. There is the source data that you recorded and that is what is exported. The labels are added to explain the data. Otherwise, different data types would be combined with no means of understanding what the data is.
This is a matter of being able to record detailed source data in TMG and the GEDCOM source record specs having no way to accomodate the data with the same sort of breakdown. The end point of the export is to export your data in a meaningful way, not just a part of your data, and to do it within the default GEDCOM source record structure.
-
I'm trying to determine if it is possible to modify the Source information that is exported to Gedcom 5.5 in TMG.Can I control the exported data in TMG somehow to include just the Title and not the additional info? I'm importing this into TNG and, even with "Do Not Display Living" set, the Sources appear and provide too much info.
Basically, the answer is no. The data that you record for the source will be exported and GEDCOM provides little leeway as to how that data can be exported. The data has to go somewhere and if GEDCOM doesn't provide an appropriate tag, the data goes to the TITL tag.
-
And I have yet to see a genealogy program that actually creates GEDCOM files with embedded objects.Ancestral Quest will encode multimedia objects but then other programs can't extract them.
-
This might be the wrong place...but...how do you get V6 to export the images??? When I export to a gedcom and then import that gedcom into TMG V6 I lose all of the "internal photos>Only the links to external exhibits are exported. I would suggest using only external exhibits in any case. They give better control and keep your database backup much smaller.
Doug mentioned the part of the GEDCOM specs that covers encoding multimedia objects. This has nothing to do with TMG internal exhibits. GEDCOM actually supports only links to external multimedia objects and just provides a way to add those external objects to the GEDCOM file.
-
I run several websites using phpGedView using data from a TMG database and it's working great. I do have one wish though: When exporting data to a GEDCOM it would be really great if we were able to choose to export only primary exhibits.That looks fairly straightforward and I'll talk to the programmer when we have the time to look at it.

Jim-May I respectfully ask what the meaning of "we" is? Over the past year or so, I have had a hard time figuring out which forum participants are "we', and which are "they", with "they" referring to Wholly Genes Inc. Posting privileges in the "pre-sales" forum by seemingly non-TMG personnel muddy thing up even more.
I have a particular interest, because on Monday, January 23, 2006, at 6:11 PM local PST, I sent a message to another TMG user, with a copy to Phil Dee of WhollyGenes, which included the following concerning this thread. It included the following "
(quote)
"(snip) So, is Dale's problem one of paths? Quite possibly......Or is it one of a missing "Media Viewer" DLL? Not likely? ......Or a missing or incorrect version of Riched*.dll or Richtx.ocx? Possibly....(snip)
"We" in my message refers to the programmer responsible for the Exhibit Log and myself.
I have talked to Phil about Dale's problem but was totally unaware of the email you copied to him and of what it had to say.
Phil is in Support and works for Wholly Genes. I'm not in Support and don't work for Wholly Genes.
I can respond to Pre-Sales topics since I'm a moderator and often do. Sometimes, I say that my response is not an official Wholly Genes response and sometimes I neglect to do it (and should state that).
OK?

Last night when I opened TMG 6, I got the screen that asks me to select how I want to open the program. I selected open Last File. Then a File Open window popped up directed at the main TMG folder, asking for me to select an OCX type file. I couldn't fine anything that satisfied this so I hit cancel.That's always the correct response for an erroneous Open dialog. Never try to respond to the dialog and always click [Cancel].
Immediately noted that photos were not showing on Individual Screen. When I go to the Media Library for any person there are large blue squares with the name of the media but no thumbnail. I tried to load a new photo and the process worked normally until I closed the media select window, then the new image showed the same big blue square.This looks like an unexplained OCX registration issue to me. Hang on. I need to get some information before suggesting a test. (Reinstall should also work.)
Open the Exhibit Log.
Select an image that is not displaying correctly.
Right-click and select 'Copy to Slideshow Manager'.
Does the image display in the SlideShow Manager?
Close the Slideshow Manager.
Close the Exhibit Log and TMG.
Run TMG.
Is the image display issue corrected?
If not, I have another thing to try.

Now that Jim has publicly stated on behalf of support...Jim speaks on behalf of Jim, never on behalf of Support.

Still not getting the error. What other changes from the default did you make?
Have you tried resetting the report configuration to default and reconfiguring the changes from scratch?
