Thanks. It seems to have converted all my Titles, previously entered as Title tags, so I could add dates and witnesses (TMG), into custom events. "12th Earl of Norfolk", and several thousand more, have now become custom event tags each expecting it's own sentence structure.
Since I was coming from RootsMagic I only needed to create a gedcom and import it. That went flawlessly from what I noticed, including all my media links. Flawless until this cropped up. If it's any help I have MS Access 2013 and could do some edits to the underlying database if a fix lay there.
