I'm really impressed with how easy and clear GenoPro is to use but I've an issue. I've just imported a GEDCOM file and the occupation and residence data is mostly lost and some is in custom tags yet there are whole sections in the database for this information. Is there a way I can alter where data from an import goes to? It will take many hours to transfer this information by hand!

| As you have discovered, at present GenoPro does not support importing of multiple occupations (OCCU) or residence (RESI) tags from Gedcom files. GenoPro seems to take the occupation title of the LAST OCCU tag and creates and occupation record with it. The other tags are imported as Custom Tags. But there is a catch, only the the last tag of each tag type is stored and so with mulitple OCCU tags the Custom Tags may hold inconsistent data, with subtags from different OCCU tags. Some data is also discarded, e.g. all other job titles. RESI tags are imported to Custom Tags and the same comment applies about multiple tags and inconsistency. My own gedcom imports suffered the same problem and I raised this issue on the forum eons ago, although I can't seem to locate the post now. Dan has stated that he intends to rewrite the Gedcom import routines at a later date. I have a background project to write a Gedcom merge utility for GenoPro XML files that will correctly import such records. And so hang on to your Gedcom file - I may get it finished in a month or so!
