Dear Family Tree Journal Users,
Well, it had to happen! As soon as I thought version 10
was perfect, several customers reported problems. There is one major
"bug" that produces strange relationships in your data files that
WILL occur (if you haven't experienced it already.) If you make
any changes to spouses in either the main data entry screen or
changes to spouses, children or siblings in the F7 screen, the
program creates entries in your .GEN file that results in out-
landish relationships between family members.
The file called FTJENTER.EXE in your earlier version 10 of Family
Tree Journal has been updated. After you replace FTJENTER.EXE, start
the program and go to the data entry screen. Bring up an
existing family member on the screen (anyone will do) and save
that person with the F8 key. This will clean out the false
entries in the .GEN file. The other files are not affected so this
process will not eliminate any names, biographies, references,
etc. in your data. After cleaning, the remaining information will
be correct and the problem should not reoccur. Unfortunately, you
may find that you will have to reenter the genealogical
information for the people that had become scrambled.
I apologize for the inconvenience that this may have caused and
thanks to those of you who pointed out the problem. It required
quite a bit of detective work to determine what had occurred
before I could duplicate the problem and fix it.
Rick
