>1. Item 3.2 on the web site instructions says:- > "Press Start, Run and enter: c:\cftw3\regsvr32 c:\cftw\tx4ole.ocx" > >As the ONLY copy of "tx4ole.ocx" that I could find was in the c:\cftw3 >directory (or its equivalent in my installation), I assume that the last >part of the statement should read "c:\cftw***3***\tx4ole.ocx" You are correct. it should be cftw3 in both cases. I shall have to change that. >2. I imported one of my "spare" "trial" DBs (422 IRNs) from CFTW2.90 >into Beta3 without problems except that my STANDARD EVENTS reverted to the >CFT basic list. e.g - I have a "User added" event - PROM (Military >Promotion). I found that all my promotions became "Marriage" (at least to >the same wife :-)) with no dates. I assume this is caused because I did not >install over the old version of CFTW. > >I found that by adding a new event "PROM" to Beta3 that all the old >promotions appeared with the correct dates. (as I expected would happen.) Good point here. I need to make sure that user added events get automatically added to Ver 3 and some sort of notification to the user. >3. I think the idea of being able to construct the "story line" using the >new format ["%N started a business %D p{at} %P m{called} %M"] is EXCELLENT. >Have not done a test yet but assume that "p{at}" means use the "at" only if >there is a PLACE entered. Just tested - assumption correct - It works- a >GREAT advance! Thank you. Yes, I feel this is a major improvement. It allows sentence structures in other languages that may not follow the same sentence structure as English. This was the the main reason for the change. >4. Tried adding a *.wav file to my Media (Photo) Folder but could not get >it to play although I can add photos to individuals and preview them. >(Didn't really expect sound to work) Go to Options Menu - Program Configuration and make sure that the executable name of your wav player is shown properly there. The Media Tab in the Program Configuration should look like this for most people: Video Player: mplayer.exe Extensions: avi mid rmi vbs dat mpg mpv mpa Sound Player: sndrec32.exe Extensions: wav Now sound and video should work. >7. Not sure why the columns for Marriages and Sex cannot be modified. "Modified"? - do you mean change the column width? Not really able to see much if we narrow it down. >I now note that there are no headings "Adp N P" between Marriages and Sex on >my "Family Group" pages so no "asterisks" OR ICONS. On Family Group Tab you should see a small camera if any media attached or a small sheet of paper if a general note attached and a small book if source attached. Same goes for the Events with notes and sources. Thanks for the other comments. Ira ---------------------------------------------------------- Ira J.
