glamberson 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2006 (edited) I decided to add "occupation" and "residence" tags to my standard person entry screen, so I hit setup in the bottom left corner of the screen, added my tags, and WHAMMO! I've now got 14 extra lines in my Name-VAR section to tab through before getting to my Birth tag! I had this problem before, and eventually I did something that fixed the problem (don't ask me what). But now I'm entering a bunch of data, and this is a real pain. I'll attach a picture of what my entry screen looks like now as well (if I can figure out how to do it...). HELP PLEASE!!!

HELP PLEASE!!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I would try resetting the Add Person template to the default but recreating it as you want it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
glamberson 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2006 Thanks, I tried that, but it didn't fix the problem. I think I'll call in to tech support, as I am kind of in a bind right now. I don't feel like entering in 600 people while tabbing through all those extra lines!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

glamberson 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2006 I'm using TMG version 6.07. This morning I called technical support, and it appears I have found a bug. This was a problem in earlier versions, but it had been fixed. Apparently it's broken again. They're working on the problem. Since this problem as related to my dataset is so far irreversible, I would recommend that anyone who tries to alter their tag setups for their Add New Person entry screen should back up their project before doing so. I will probably have to revert to a backup which is 2 days old, but I could still lose a very valuable entire day's worth of work. As things develop, I'll update this posting.

They're working on the problem. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's why I was asking what version you were using, I knew it had been a problem in an earlier version. I tried to reproduce it but was unable to with the currrent version. Glad tech support is on top of it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
glamberson 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2006 I just talked to tech support again. Contrary to what I said previously, THIS IS IN FACT ONLY A DISPLAY PROBLEM, so there is no corruption of my data. (YAY) They said it wouldn't take long to fix and that I should go ahead and use my most recent dataset, since the problem is merely a display problem and will be fixed very soon. So it's off to get some lunch and to the library for me. Thanks, WG Tech Support! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
glamberson 0 Report post Posted January 13, 2006 (edited) Yay! Problem fixed. (whew!) Wholly Genes Tech Support sent me a file to fix my database. Noone is sure how this occurred, but after talking over the details of what was wrong, it wasn't nearly as troubling as I thought it was. Anyway, all is well, and I have my tags set up on my New Person entry screen. Off to the library again... Edited January 13, 2006 by glamberson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
