Fred: I run TMG 9.05 on my Surface4 with no problem. You can use the touchscreen, but I find it much more convenient to use the keyboard.

Jane, There has no such thing as patches for TMG for many years. Every installer is now installs a complete new installation. You just need the last installer, which Clyde has told you how to obtain. After you do, you may want to read my article on what you need to do to be prepared for next time, at http://tmg.reigelridge.com/future.htm#wait Terry Reigel

Well, yes and no. There is a simpler way, but it is essentially the same way. As Paul has said -- use Book Manager. For each step in the process, create that Report Definition.

I've been using Terry's procedure for years...what I have done is first predefined each step in list of people and then used Book Manager to execute each step in the proper sequence.

I never can remember this, either, when migrating or getting a newer version. But you can go to File, Preferences, Item Tips. The select Show Item Tips On the Person View. That turns it on for all tags. I've always thought that this was a non-intuitive way to describe what we want.

I know there is a 'toggle' that I tripped and now the complete memo contents are not shown when the mouse hovers over the tag. Where is that 'toggle' ? Phil Holm

Got a new laptop. Managed to download the TMG installer and restore from a backup. Went well. However the sort date on tag entry is missing. Has this been changed - or did I miss something? And if so, I do I get it back? gypsy

PS I have a Surface4 here and may move a copy of TMG and my data over there just for safety sake. It would also be a good test of Terry's instructions. :-) On Sun, Apr 16, 2017 at 11:49 PM, W.

I will take Jerry's advice and prepare backup but I'm almost 100% certain that the computer I'm using now was simply copied with all software from another machine that was giving me trouble on occasion and I had a computer company copy everything over to a new machine. I then had them take the old one to check it out and it promptly failed and they were unable to fix it. It was an All-in-One machine and the trouble was in the way raid had been set up using internal sim memory.
