I have Windows 7 and I can see what is on the thumb drive. I decided to rename a family file and work on that one, rechecking everything etc. Good thing that I have the smallest Italian/Sicilian family tree anyone has ever seen.
But, I still have this problem Error converting family file. Error 3800: 'Temple' is not an index in this table. Would you like to TRY IT AGAIN? I am not a Mormon or member, what is this about?
