I have the same problem, affecting some of the report generation (Ahnentafel Direct Line for instance). Looks like it's caused by a missing dll, cdintf-1.dll. In my case this was a clean install on a new Windows 64 bit system, and it was the download version of TMG8 installed. I have contacted support but no reply as yet. Thought I'd post this as there must be a lot of other people out there with the same problem, so a published fix might be helpful for all, maybe?

I tried out Barbara's comment and can confirm that a Backup from within the programme IS absolutely fine for me, but the backup on exit is unreadable. So it appears to be a bug in that part of v6.08 of the package Both laptop and main machines run Win XP Pro and both are fully up to date with their respective patches and both have full administrator rights. Thanks for commenting about the manual Backup appearing to work on other machines. It works for me! Don

I'm having the same problem with 6.08 (UK version). The Backup file cannot be loaded onto my laptop, either by 'Restore' or by 'Import'. It has the errors flagged by the original poster. And no, I haven't tried restoring on my primary machine as I do NOT want to risk the sole source of good data on my primary machine in any way. (Having migrated a year ago from FTW with a 2000 person database after database corruption problems there!) Backup and restores worked fine in 6.07 (UK) Of course both machines have been parallel upgraded and are at 6.08. Is there an alternate way of backing up? Copying a directory or something? Thanks Don

What a truly excellent utility John Cardinal created! Nearly 1200 US to UK changes corrected in just a few seconds! It had no trouble picking up the place styles. Excellent advice. Many thanks Jeff Don

Forgive me if this problem has occurred before but I couldn't locate it on the forum. I've posted this also in TMG6 as it seems to be US/UK. Some time ago I imported a Family Tree for Windows database into the UK version of TMG 6 with UK styles. I've noticed that those entries with a placename import to a USA style. Those without, left the UK placename unaltered. Consequently I have to manually adjust every placename entry from the Master Style List to the UK version. And then move all the entries into their right slots. It's really tedious, but it would help if I didn't have to continually changes styles for every entry. Is there a way of or a tool to force all the placename style entries to be UK? That would save me a lot of time. Thanks
