I have set TMG to remind me to back up when I click the little close button in the top right hand corner A few days ago it suddenly stopped doing it, at least sometimes. There does not seem to be any pattern to it. I checked that the reminder option was still checked in the preferences and it was. When it closes without backing up, and I then re-open TMG, and close again, it will usually remind me to back-up again. In other words erratic behavior. Any thoughts? Afina

Thanks, Virginia, I know that I can back-up that way, I was just wondering about the funny behavior. Afina

Thanks, Max. At least I am not alone. I don't think there is any particular series of keystrokes, just clicking the x in the corner does it; but I don't know. Afina

Tried for the first time to make a site from TMG8.05. I make both an English and a Dutch version. All went well in the English version, but received 80 errors in the Dutch version, all of them related to witness roles. This happened both with SS4, and with SS5 There seem to be two types of error messages:Role heir3/00006 not found for event Testament and person 135 (this a a will tag) Role Witness1/00009 not found for event OndertrPrim and person 2195 (this is a custom marriage tag) However, the roles are there, and I do not get an error for other people with the exact same role in the same event. It also does not seem to affect the outcome of the page. Is this a translation issue? As said above, the english version does not give me any errors. Thanks for any insights, anyone can provide Afina

Thanks Terry, Because it doesn't happen in the English version of my website, I was thinking it was a translation problem in TMG. But I will now post it in the Second Site list

Thanks, Jim I updated, but the exact same thing happened again :-( Afina

Is there a way to specify which Repository Address fields are output to the bibliography? It seems that only detail, city, county, state and country are in the output, but L9 and L10 are ignored. I created an e-mail place style, where these are website and email-address respectively, but I cannot get them to print in the repository address. Thanks for any advice, Afina

I just discovered a number of puzzling things 1. In my Milit tag the 2nd principal role of list (to be able to generate a listing) had been reset to principal, In the tagbox it was still showing as List, but when opening the tag, it was Principal. 2. I fixed a bunch of them, then decided to edit the role a bit. This caused the role to shift to the bottom of the role list (it was in the #3 spot). When I moved it up again, all the instances, that were fixed, were back to Principal, but the ones that had not been fixed yet, were again the proper role I have noticed that in 8.04 the principal role seems to be ale to co-exist with a custom role (which I don't like, as no it takes 2 clicks to set roles for P1 and P2, where previously P2 would become the role under the one set for P1) I also don't like that it no longer seems possible to just edit a role name; you need to copy it. Any suggestions? Afina

Thanks for the answers. I have 8.04, and I hope the problem will be solved soon :-) I use roles extensively Afina

I like the idea of adding some exhibits to the citation, rather than to the event or the source. However, before I add too many, I would like to be able to generate a report that lets me find those citations that have an exhibit attached. In the list of citations report there is an option the find those citations where the source has an exhibit, but there seems to be no way to get a list of citations with an exhibit. Am I asking for the impossible, or am I overlooking something? Thanks, Afina

Is it possible to construct an alternate sentence under the above conditions? I know it can be done with roles, but was hoping there was a way to modify the standard marriage sentence, so the result would be the normal sentence, if date and/or place were known, but if not the sentence would be [P] had a relationship with [PO]. I am fixing up a donated database, where there are about 6000 instances of this. Changing to roles would be too time consuming. I have tried several variations, but all without success. My question is: Is it actually possible without roles? Thanks, Afina

I created a slideshow (TMG 7.04) in the slideshow manager, but now I am at a loss on how to link it to a tag. I use Second Site to create CDs and webpages, and would like to be able to get a link from the person page to the slideshow. Is there a way to do this, or am I wishing for the impossible? Thanks for any help, Afina

Thanks John, I never realized SS could do that Afina

Since yesterday I have problems backing up my projects. I first thought it had to do with PathWiz, but it turns out that all my 4 projects have the same problem. It seems that when backing up to an empty folder, the backup goes OK, but if another backup is already there I get a file write error (message: unable to srite file: this happens if backingup a protected zipfile or if the disk is full) If I try to reopen the program after it closes I get File access denied and a reference to a sessionkeeper.dbf in C\Documents and settings\user\localsettings\temp\TMG(several numbers) If I cancel and then reopen, it usually works ok, except that all accents have disappeared. I uninstalled and reinstalled TMG, but nothing changed Is it possible that this has to do with a Microsoft .NET update, that happened yesterday? THanks for any ideas, Afina

Tried system restore, but couldn't restore. So something must have changed drastically. :-( Afina

I don't back up external exhibits, so that cannot be the issue. Reformatting is not something I look forward to :-( Afina

Thanks Helmut I have plenty of space, and as far as I can tell I have no problems with other applications. I did not change anything in my virus scanner, so why should it suddenly lock folders that weren't before? Afina

I just found out that not only the backups are messed up, but also the reporting ability. I just did a List of events, and the output options rearranged of their own accord. I put the same output columns in 3 times, and I got 3 different results (this was a tab-delimited txt list) It seems that the program is seriously messed up. I have reinstalled, but that did not make a difference. Please HELP!! Afina

After using Pathwiz, I can't seem to back up my project. I get an error message: Project in use elsewhere, and a reference to a sessionkeeper.dbf. I never tried to backup with Pathwith open, and I only use it on one computer. I also keep losing my accents (which never happened before) Any ideas? Thanks, Afina

Me too, but I am no closer to a solution :-) Afina

Virginia, I'll contact Bryan. As far as the accents: none of the possiblities apply, and they were there (and did not disappear) before I used PathWiz. THanks for helping me think through this Afina

Virginia and Mike, I rebooted, but no difference. After rebooting when trying to start the program up again I got the following message: File access is denied c:\Docume~1\user\locals~1\temp\tmg58809187\sessionkeeper.dbf Clicking 'Ignore' doesn't do anything, 'Abort' closes the program. When trying to start up again after that, it booted up fine. Accents were lost again VFI did not find any problems I tried optimizing before and after VFI: Before VFI optimize gave error message that program is busy elsewhere After VFI optimize gives error message: Command contains unrecognized phrase/keyword 555 REINDEXDATASETS Ignore allows continuation Tried optimize again but again got message that program is busy elsewhere I only have one project per folder Both Flagmanager and Accents give me an error message: Alias not Found 541FRMDETAILSLIST.MPREPAREEVENTS Tried to back up again: Error message: Warning: the project is in use elsewhere. It cannot be backed up while in use. I just noticed that in the folder for this project there is a .tmp file that is not present in any of my other project folders, as well as three files BACK_I.CDX, BACK_I.DBF, and BACK_I.FTP, that are not present in my other folders. Would that be something PathWiz stuck in there? At this point I am thinking I might be better off restoring the project from before the PathWiz use. Thanks, Afina

Thanks Jim O, an interesting idea. I'll try it Thanks Jim Byram for raising the issue with TMG, I do hope the issue gets solved for real at some point Afina

I'm facing the same problem, any comments or suggestions? Afina

I have to add a number of Vietnamese names to my v6.09 database, and they have some additional accents aside from the usual french ones. I have the fonts installed on my computer, and they are mapped to the numbers. I can get the names properly typed in Word and Wordpad, but not in TMG. Number 1-4 are mapped to give the accented letters ă, â, ê, ô respectively and work fine, number 5 through 0 are mapped to apply an accent to a previous typed letter, but give me in TMG instead other already accented letters, or the accent as a separate character. Does anyone have experience with this? Thanks for any help, Afina
