Hi List I have not made new TAG since V9, and I have a problem with a error message "The role variable [RF:with Parents] either has the role name misspelled or the role does not exist." I have been trying to create a 1850 US Census TAG like Terry's to replace the current TAG that I'm using. I have set up the following role: Principal, one Son, one Daughter, RF:with Parents, RF:with Father, RF:with Mother, and Witness. (Role were copy from the the sentence to New Role form.) I have copy from Terry's Web page to notepad, (to lose any HTML code) then to TMG TAG. I copy the role to with Parents, with Father, with Mother with no errors. I can copy the male sentence to Principle with no error, but when I try to copy to the female sentence, as I click the cursor when it over the female sentence box I get the error message above. I have check the spelling, and I have not found any misspell role. from role RF:with Parents RF:with Parents from sentence The output sentence is missing for RF:with Parents when children are listed with parents, also when children listed with father no Output sen. I do have Snipping Image of the TAG and error message. Any help appreciate. Robert

(Role were > copy from the the sentence to New Role form.) Robert, It looks like the problem is with the names of the Roles. I think you made the Role name "RF:with Parents" when it should be just "with Parents" - the variable you will use is [RF:with Parents] - but the Role itself is named just "with Parents." In addition to being more complicated then needed, I suppose the reason if fails is that the colon is an illegal character in the name. > I have copy from Terry's Web page to notepad, (to lose any HTML code) > then to TMG TAG. Is there a reason you didn't just download them and avoid the issues with creating them? Terry
