I too had the problem with an error indicating the file was too large and
was clipped. Each time I tried to rerun the report it clipped it to less
pages. FTM said to clear files out of the computer to make space. I did
that and it did not help. I had a professional do it for me so it would
give additional space. That did not help. I upgraded. That did not help. I
purchased a new computer, installed only FTM and linked the tree to it.
That work but with problems. I too have a very large file with approx.
10,000. I too only asked for direct lines and no duplicate lines. The
problem is that it fails to recognize that some of the lines are duplicated
so when you get to the last 150 pages they are the same lineage repeated. I
had contacted FTM through out this whole process. It was almost a year ago
that they were going to look at my tree to see why I had this problem. I
guess you can say that I'm still waiting for their response. After several
months I did try to contact them several times but they did not respond. I
also had a web page through their "my family". Many of the features failed
to work and I had nothing but problems with it. They finally closed that
program down. Sad to say I'm still with FTM. I know that Joao Ventura uses
it but he has a much older version and he has created several books for me
that are 750-850 pages and they are outstanding. They are complete and
without repeats. The last one even has an index.
I think I need to get a new genealogy program but I'm not looking forward
to entering 10,000 people into the new data base. I have the copy of Roots
Magic that I won at the Azorean Conference in SLC 2014. I'm afraid that if
download the data and I do not re-enter everything that I may get the
problem in the new program. Does anyone have any suggestions on this topic?
