I have a problem, which I've solved, but I would like an explanation from anyone who is a FoxPro expert and/or has the relevant programming experience. Today, out of the blue, I started getting the following error when I tried to export a GEDCOM file, and also when I tried to read my TMG database with Gedviewer2 (but not when I read the database with TMG Utility): "Record is out of range; 4342 G_Event." On the off chance that this referred to something wrong with the entries for Person 4342 I went to that entry. I didn't see anything wrong, but I went ahead and edited the woman's married name from just "Toland" to "Elizabeth Toland" by adding her given name in the appropriate field. I figured that maybe in re-writing part of her entry the program might correct whatever hidden problem might be lurking. Much to my surprise this actually worked. I was then able to make the GEDCOM export that had failed numerous times. I had even uninstalled and reinstalled TMG in case there was a corruption in the program files themselves -- that after a repair install that also didn't solve the problem. None of that helped. Only the funny business I did with entry 4342 fixed things. Now, what in world did I actually do, and what would have been the underlying problem? Curious minds want to know! ;-) Thanks. Carl

This error is usually due to bad indexing. Somewhere along the way, the index file got corrupted. This is rarely a bad problem although reports, etc. can have some minor problems here and there. The best way to resolve this problem is to reindex your project -- File=>Maintenance=>Reindex. Lee
