Hope this is not to complcated.

I have noticed that, when I use the Websearch facility, ie Ancestry. It automatically uses the US version of Ancestry.

Is there a way I can get the system to use the UK version or could the program itself use the BMD details listed in the persons profile to determine which version to use?

Thanks

This morning I was tidying up the file names for my trees in Roots Magic Version 3. I did this as you normally would, by right-clicking on the file name and then clicking 'rename'. However, once I tried to re-open the tree an error message appears and the tree doesn't open.

For example, one of my tree's was named "bagshot" so I renamed it "Bagshot Family". However when I then opened it as usual, this error message appeared:

"An error was encountered opening this database:
C:\Program Files\RootsMagic\Bagshot Family_I.DBF was not found."

This message appears on every tree I open which has had its name changed. Every tree which I didn't rename opens as normal. This suggests a problem has occured since changing the names.

This forum really is a last resort. I've been working on these trees for over 10 years and to lose them now would be heart-breakening, especially over something so stupid as changing the name. Is there anything anyone know which could be causing this problem? Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thank-you]]>

After a short while the action freezes whilst collecting descendents and I can only progress by closing Roots Magic. Clicking Cancel nothing happened.

I have attempted this three times and have the same problem and action to clear. On one occasion I left the programme running for 30 minutes without any difference.

I have 199 names linked to the start name. Is this reason it freezes?

Help sought in generating the chart.]]>

However I can only create one report, showing the direct ancestors/descendents through the father and mother lines.

How do I create a report showing the other ancestors/descendents who are not in a direct line with the one name?

I can create separate reports which shows different links.

Having created the different reports is there a way that I can combine them onto one chart for printing?]]>

I want to produce a tree chart for them, showing the next 2 generations of a great-grandfather.
I don't want the program to print out all my work that has not yet been contracted for.
Any ideas?

I have two databaases in Rootsmagic which I thought were identical but it seems I have worked on both at different times. How do I merge the two ?

I have tried dragging and dropping people from one to other but as I use a lapot this does not seem to work

Any ideas would be very welcome

Thanks

The problem is, that I can't update Rootmagic 4 to the latest version, I receive the following message:

"You are currently running in 'ToDo' mode, please update your desktop version, then update the 'ToDo version".

Everything is all working, even looks like to main version and not the data-pen version.
I think my problem is that the netbook is running windows 7 starter....Question..could I update to windows 7 home Premium?

Any help.

I have a primary photo of my ancestor but would like to add a photo of where he lived and a photo of the Church he married at etc.
Can other photos be added to a report or do they have to be entered in a book form? If so, how?
