Error when adding name variation tag, v7.01 bri

[Neetz 0]

I get the following error when using crt "v" [no quotes] to add a name variation tag

2008.04.18, 20:46:04 2199Error building key for index "c:\tmg backups\my project_n.cdx" tag "Sort5". 14 FRMNAMETAG.MGETEVENTTYPE

 

If I click "ignore" the name variation screen comes up & I can fill in the date, given name, surname, & add a citation. Then, when I click "ok" I get the "edit name style tag" with the style name highlighted & "Title, Prefix, GivenName, PreSurname, Surname, Suffix, OtherName, SortSurname, SortGiven " already in the style name box. I do not use style names at this time. Clicking "ignore" brings up the dialogue "Are you sure that you want to lose changes to this screen?" even though I have not made any changes. Clicking yes, brings me back to the tag for name variation. This time I tried clicking on the "name style" button, which I noticed says U.S. Standard Place, this brings up the Master Style List with the U.S. Standard Name & another error box "variable 'LNPOS' is not found. 5MASTERSTYLELIST.RNDSID_ASSIGN. Clicking "Abort" brings me back to the tag entry screen with my name variation, clicking "OK" starts the whole mess over again with the "Edit Name Style" screen.

 

I have to click "Yes" to cancel out & lose changes, no name variation tag appears. Going up to "File>Edit>Run VFI" brings up "No problems found"

 

I can successfully add a name variation tag in the sample project.

 

I originally had this same problem in v 7 and after sending in an error report, Phil from tech support responded that v 6.12 had some issues with indexing names that didn't present a problem in v 6.12 but did pose a problem in v 7. He advised me to wait for the next update when this problem would be fixed.

 

After closely looking at the tag entry screen, I have now noticed that the where it says "tag type" is blank. Even going into the drop down box & selecting "name variation" from the list, sets into motion the entire error process.

Any help would be appreciated.

Anita,

 

This seems to be a problem related to the earlier problem you had in 7.0. A couple of other users have experienced the same problem and I've chatted briefly with Bob about it.
