mrholtsr 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2005 I downloaded a gedcom in which many of the sex flags were set to ?. In trying to change to M or F almost without exception the program locks up and I have to use control/alt/delete to exit. I am using 6.04. Is this a bug and if so is there a workaround. Thanks, Ray Holt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Les Wylde 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2005 Seems to be working alright for me in V6.04, although I have only tried changing the flags one at a time. How are you trying to change the flag? Les Wylde Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrholtsr 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2005 I am in the midst of merging duplicate entries. About every five or ten entries I discover that one of the entries I'm triying to merge have the flag set to M or F while the other one is set to ?. When I try to change the ? to M or F the machine locks up and I have to use control/alt/delete to exit the program. When I get back in the flag has changed to the correct sex. It is annoying to have this lock up occur. Thanks, Ray Holt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RobinL 0 Report post Posted October 2, 2005 I have been doing the same sex change ? to either ot M or F operations without lock ups. However, I have detected a problem in the updating of links between parent and a child with newly assigned sex. I find that running VFI fixes the problem even though it says "No problem found". I have reported this to the developers. I wonder whether you have changed the sex of 2 persons who were in adjacent generations (i.e both a parent and their child) and hence get the lock up?

Virginia Blakelock 0 Report post Posted September 18, 2008 You do this by changing the SEX flag for that person. Open the Flags window from the Windows menu if you don't already have it in your layout. Rightclick on the SEX flag and select Edit this flag. In the Values column, doubleclick the sex to which you want to change that person. Virginia Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
