Subject: PAF Import problem
Date: Sat, 2 Oct 2004 12:25:06 -0600


When I attempt to import a v5.2 PAF file into an empty project with TMG
v5.15, the conversion stops at 18% in "Step 4: Finish" by opening an Error
Message window. The message was:

"Declare DLL call caused an exception. 101PAF4MAIN"

The "Options" available to me are: "Abort" "Retry" "Ignore"

Clicking on "Retry" or "Ignore" merely generates a "Beep" from the computer
and nothing else. "Abort" closes the Error window. At which point TMG is
frozen and the only recourse is the "End Task" option in "Task Manager."
(Windows XP Professional SP2)

I see part of the problem here -- Once you start the "Import Wizard," there
is no way to "back out" or "cancel"... you are, apparently, committed for
the duration.

Anyway, I can open the PAF file with the "Personal Ancestry File" software
and can find no obvious problems. (In fairness, however, I should point out
that I am not familiar at all with the PAF software -- in fact, this has
been my one and only experience with it.)

Is this normal? If so, can someone suggest a "workaround"?

Ron
