All anti virus is disabled. No other programs running. I restored an older data set - had to go back several - that exports successfully. So I then added back several sources and tags and tried export again. I tried several times and have noted the size of the GED file is tiny after adding back four sources and 8 tags. In fact this time it was only 1kb versus 5103 kb. So I exited TMG and tried exporting the changed older dataset again. Still with all virus disabled. This time GED file was 5105 and it imported. I had to go back about 3 months to get one that works. I could understand glitch on one computer but not on two separate computers and different data sets. We are both hesitate to move forward but really dislike all other programs and especially don't want to lose second site website. I was afraid it wouldn't be long after Bob closed down. Discouraging after the thousands of hours of careful data entry.
