Spurious "Unknown Person" & Children Error

[castlehillwizard 0]

I am using WinVista 64 bit with TMG 7.04 and VCF Build Date: Sep 1 2007 21:01:58 [3, 2, 0, 13] (Gold). Up until a few days ago all was well with vcf but now it appears to have got a mind of its own! If I try to produce a descendant chart it allocates children between the known wife and an invented "Unknown Person". I have done nothing to any of the relationships that I am trying to chart since the last time I succesfully did it.

 

I have tried deleting the child/parent link and reinstating but that does not affect the outcome and I have run file integrity with no reported errors. Anyone got any bright ideas?

Perhaps the Surety settings are set too high. On the Other tab in the report options, tick the Surety settings for both 'No Threshold' and 'Include blank surety'.

Just a wild guess but, could you be excluding living people and somehow one of the parents is now flagged as living?

Try an Optimise, VFI, Optimise sequence of File > Maintenance and try again. This sounds like an index corruption.

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. After several optimize and VFI plus setting No Threshold and Blank Surety VCF is now behaving itself again!
