Please help. I’m in a bit of a pickle.Here’s what I did today.1) Backed up project.2) Validated integrity of project – no problems found.3) Re-optimised project. Lots of errors, files not found, things missing etc.4) TMG went away.5) Restarted TMG but it couldn’t open the project.6) Attempted to restore backup but I got the message that someone else is using the project.7) Rebooted and repeated step 68) Created a new blank project and repeated step 6.9) Rebooted and repeated step 6 with a much older backup – same result.10) Tried to open TMG Utility with this resultError -1 from [CTMGDB.VerifyIndexFiles]Index files are missing (see below); open the dataset in TMG to build the index files, then close TMG and try again.Index file(s) missing:Dowd_Marlborough_$.cdxDowd_Marlborough_a.cdxDowd_Marlborough_e.cdxDowd_Marlborough_f.cdxDowd_Marlborough_g.cdxDowd_Marlborough_i.cdxDowd_Marlborough_k.cdxDowd_Marlborough_l.cdxDowd_Marlborough_m.cdxDowd_Marlborough_p.cdxDowd_Marlborough_r.cdxDowd_Marlborough_s.cdxDowd_Marlborough_t.cdxDowd_Marlborough_u.cdxDowd_Marlborough_w.cdxBut I can't open the dataset to rebuild the index files. I have lots of backups but TMG won’t restore any of them. Please help.I’m using Gold UK edition v. 8.08.000 on Windows 7.TIA, Irene -
I imported my data from PAF. I had many old calendar dates in the format
21-jan-1726/27.
These have apparently imported in the form
"Or:1726/01/21-1727/01/21"
1) How should these dates appear?
2) How can I put it right?
Thanks,
Irene

Well, I'm not sure exactly what happened but I fixed the problem by using a backup of the entire projects path. I opened a 2 year old version of my project which was in a previous incarnation of version 8. I chose to do this away from the default TMG path. This project opened up with no problems. I applied my latest backup from this morning and it worked just fine. I moved all of these files back to the original folder and opened the project from there.
All is well again, I think.
