You should be able to download on another computer, say at a friend's home or a library, and put it on a thumb drive. Then copy it from the thumb drive to your computer.

If you have installed TMG 7 from a CD, you may not be able to open your Project even if you can unlock it. If you had installed any updates on your previous installation that involved a modification to the file system the Project will likely not open on the older version installed from a CD.

You do not need an Internet connection to unlock TMG.

If it says your credentials are invalid you have one of these issues:

• Using a serial number for a different version of TMG
• Entering the serial number manually and making a mistake
• Using a different email address than the one that you used when you obtained the license
• Using a different name than the on used when you obtained the license

Why can't you download the installer? 

If you have credentials for TMG7 downloading TMG8 will not work. You can download TMG9 and buy credentials for that if you want.

Grady,

This filter with a List of People report, or in the Project Explorer, seems too work:

Mother-Adopted   Child ID   <> Does not equal   0   OR

Mother-Step   Child ID   <> Does not equal   0   OR

Father-Adopted   Child ID   <> Does not equal   0   OR

Father-Step   Child ID   <> Does not equal   0  End

Grady,

It depends entirely on how you have entered them in your database. How would you recognize a step-child or adopted child if you were looking at them in TMG?

According to the reports on the TMG list, this issue with Trend is not related to installation, but continues every time you use TMG. The user who first reported the issue says he is in conversation with Trend and they are working  on the issue, but at last report have not fixed it. They say the issue is not just with TMG , but also impacts a few other programs. 

You may want to read the posts on the TMG list to understand what is going on. At least some of the posts have the subject "Trend Micro Security software interference".

You can access the TMG List at https://tmg-l.groups.io/g/main

I'm afraid I can't help you with this issue, but you might find help if you post on the TMG list on IO groups. There has been discussion there on similar issues with Trend Micro Security software and TMG, among other programs.

After you do that, you need to fix the "Path" issues as described in my article at https://tmg.reigelridge.com/new-computer-version.htm

Ed,

You may find Robin Lamacraft's article on my website helpful. It's at https://tmg.reigelridge.com/Robin-saving.htm

As an alternative, another user told me he used the printing service of https://ancestryprinting.com/ and was happy with the results. They can print directly from the VCF file.

Well, maybe I cheated. <g>

I gave a presentation to the RUG last month on Journal options, so have just studied up on all of them.

Lee,

How do you ask the report to abbreviate a country? The only option I see is to abbreviate a state or province.

I agree, Jim. I've moved it.

Thanks, Eric. I'll post a note on my webpage mentioning them. Did you have to make any special settings to keep VCF from braking the chart into 8.5 x 11 pages?

Thanks for the info, Eric. I didn't know about them. I'd love to hear how it worked for you. Also, do you have to do anything special, like install a specific printer driver on your computer, to get VCF to produce the chart in the width and length you want?

There is no one so far as I know that can print VCF files directly. However, there is an article by Robin Lamacraft, an expert on VCF, on my website about how to save the data in a format that commercial printers can use. It is at https://tmg.reigelridge.com/Robin-saving.htm

Mary,

There are no standard tags that include census years in their labels. Any Census Tags you have like that are custom tags. Either you created them or you imported from another program than had them.

When you say the information on those you find are different, which fields do you mean? I would expect the Sentences to differ somewhat because the information recorded on the various years differs.

Where are you trying to edit the Witness Sentences? You should be able to do that on the Tag Type Definition screen, but not on individual Tags unless a Witness exists in that Tag.

Yes, you can have two sessions of TMG open at the same time. Just open one, then open TMG again. You can open the same Project in both, but TMG will not let you edit the same record in both at the same time.

Jim is not talking about an option in Sources, but rather about the Option in Reports. The report option changes the result for all Citations in that report, regardless of the option selected in the individual Sources. Thus there is no need to make the change in each Source so long as you consistently choose the "no ibid" option in each report you use.

Open the Master Tag Type list. At the lower left check the box "Show deactivated tag types." If it now appears, click it then the Edit button. At the top right of the Tag Type Definition screen check the "Active" box. 

Only part of it came up as a link. The whole link is:

I entered it a different way, so it should work. If not you will have to copy and paste the whole thing into your browser URL window.

Don't bother with the disk you have. It's of no value, you should throw it away.

You don't need an "update," but rather the full TMG 9.05 installer. See the topic TMG9 - Final Installers at the top of the TMG 9 section of this forum for a link to download it.

See my article at https://tmg.reigelridge.com/new-computer-version.htm for some tips on moving your data to the new computer after you install the program.

Yes. Open the Master Event List (Tools menu). Sort by Type of Event, then type in the Tag Type name in the Search window.

Trinity,

I think that's a "Layout" setting, so you have to save the Layout after making that change otherwise it will be gone when you re-open.

Jim,

John Cardinal's TMG Utility can search most fields in the database, so should be able to do what you want.

Trinity, your question has been answered several times on the TMG list.

At Events > Change Event Type.
