G'day Ira, I have just done a GEDCOM 4 export and then opened it in PAF for trial purposes. There are a number of "errors" all but a few of which relate to this "TIME" tag. I do not know what this does in CFT but by experiment I see that it comes from my having the "Include Date/Time change tags (CHAN)" in Option 2 of the Gedcom Export dialog checked. Unchecking solves the problem. BUT - when I tried to find out more in the Gedcom Export part of the Help file (Manual) it is not described. Perhaps a note is needed as to why it would be used. I guess it is one of those "Ira things" ;-) GEDCOM Import Log - 27 Feb 2004 File: F:\My Documents\MY FILES\CFTREE\RubyGracieAnces.GED (27 FEB 2004) Created by: CFTREE Cumberland Family Tree CFTREE Windows Ver PRO 3.13 Submitted by: Unknown Individuals: 19 Marriages: 12 Sources: 46 Repositories: 10 Errors: 120 The following lines in the GEDCOM file could not be processed due to unrecognizable tags or invalid data: ERROR 1: RubyGracieAnces.GED, line 30: RIN 1: Unexpected tag 'TIME' in Change Date Structure. 2 TIME 21:15:11 Mike CALDER http://members.optusnet.com.au/mikecalder/
