Can't save to a file Ver 7 W 7 64 bit

[johoman 0]

I have TMG 6 and now 7 and was going along on XP but computer crashed and new desktop W 7 Professional 64 bit. TMG 7 opens fine but I can't save to any kind of file. I did what a previous poster said about making PDF compatible but made no difference. I was able to print out a Decendant Narrative report but not save it in any kind of file. I was able to save an Ahnentafel file in #.txt format. What is the work around for this!!!!

Output to word processing files is not supported under 64-bit operating systems. You should be able to save a report to .TXT, .PDF or HTML files.

 

Regarding PDF output... You did follow my instructions in this topic?

You can also install XP Mode and install TMG7 under the WinXP under XP Mode and output to all file types. XP Mode has a significant performance penalty for routine TMG7 use however.

There are messages about using XP Mode on the TMG mail list.

 

The report manager has been completely replaced in TMG8 and word processing output under 64-bit operating systems will be supported.

When will TMG 8 be available? Will it be backward compatible? I do have one XP machine (all others are 7 [64 bit]}.

I'm not going to get close to that one.

Will it be backward compatible?

If by that you mean will it run XP, yes. If you mean something else, I don't understand the question.

I do have one XP machine (all others are 7 [64 bit]}.

In that case your best bet may be to run reports to word processor on that machine.

Unfortunately the one machine not Win 7 64 bit is a tiny notebook my wife uses. Will TMG 8 run on XP and will it convert TMG 7 data to TMG 8 data? Will there be special pricing for upgrades? Having TMG without being able to print out reports is a bummer.

Then your best bets are:

1. Get along with output to printer or PDF.

2. Output to HTML, then copy and paste into Word - some have reported that's workable.

3. Install XP Mode and then install a copy of TMG on that, and run reports from there. It's a bother, but does work.

Yes, and yes.

Will there be special pricing for upgrades?

There has not been an announcement, but there always has been.

That's for sure.
