Every time I try to generate a report I receive this error message:

What Does this mean? and how do I get past this?

Thanks,
Nina

User-defined tags must be alpha-numeric and cannot start with a digit.  Also, a custom tag cannot contain "date."; this rule is very specific to GenoPro.

For instance: "birth.date.comment" or "death.date.calendar" or something like that.

This rule is present because GenoPro treats the Date as an object and which is not capable to hold additional information such as a comment or other things.

If you have something like death.date.comment, just rename your tag to death.date_comment and it will work.

I will investigate the code to see what the Tag Editor Dialog can to do prevent the user from entering such invalid tags.

A Custom Tag may be nested below other tags, so if the full Tag name contains a dot/period '.' then not only must the name start with a letter or underscore but also only a letter or an underscore can follow each '.' in the name. e.g. Death.Addr.1stLine is invalid

The error you have occurs because the VBscript attempts to load the GenoPro XML data using the Microsoft XML Parser. This 'loadXml' operation has failed. The only reason for failure seen so far is because the Xml is invalid. There may be other reasons for failure yet to be discovered.

If you are still having problems please send your .gno file to me. e.g. use the GenoPro program's File / Send Menu facility and send to Ron and I will investigate the cause.
