I can cause the error from two different means, but they both seem to be creating similar reports. From the main screen there are 6 tabs, Pedigree, Family, Descendants, People, etc. I choose descendants, then set the slider at 7, and go to either my "first" ancestor, or the son that has so many descendants, and the error occurs. Or, I can choose Reports-Lists-Descendant list and choose again either the eldest ancestor or his son, and generations in excess of 6, and get the problem. I first found the problem when using the second method and attempting to get a simple list without narrative for all the descendants of that "first" Hoffpauir. It's also interesting (to me at least) that I've always been able to generate a huge narrative report for the same ancestors, including all his descendants. I've been doing that for years with all versions for our annual family reunion. This year's copy of that report is posted on my web page, given in my sig., and it's over 600 pages long in it's simplest form (no sources or dates or locations included to save space). -- Charlie Hoffpauir http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~charlieh/ Message board: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=board&r=rw&p=surnames.hoffpauir Mail list: http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/surname/h/hoffpauir.html DNA project: <http://www.familytreedna.com/group-join.aspx?Group=Hoffpauir>
I am on RM5 and I tried this with a person whose narrative report is 1870 pages and the descendant report was fine with all included. I am on WIN7 with 500G hard drive.
