I had used the practice of checking the "Deceased" box in the "Birth and Death" tab, to allow data entry in the corresponding "Comment" box even if the person was alive. I would then uncheck the box, thinking that the person would then be considered "alive." I THINK that created a problem with exported GEDCOMs, in that the GEDCOM death tag was left in.
I uploaded a GEDCOM to a commercial site, and to my consternation, living people, with their personal data was showing, when the site had a filter for all LIVING PEOPLE. I am not positive this is what happened, but fairly sure. Fortunately, I noticed the problem, and was able to yank it back offline. Now I cannot determine a way to correct the problem, which only leaves me with manually editing HUNDREDS of entries in the GEDCOM each time I export. (I do this quite often)
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!
Dave

you most likely want to post under bug list
if no one can help you there i would try going back to a non beta version
beta versions are still in the experimental stage of life and have not yet been 100% approved ( thought they are usually pretty stable 70-90%)

This is a problem in the Gedcom standard itself. There is nothing GenoPro can do. Let me tell you a bit about the structure of Gedcom.
0 INDI @IND001@
1 NAME Daniel /Morin/
1 DEAT
2 DATE 19 AUG 2004
2 NOTE A UFO crashlanded on Daniel's office while he was fixing a nasty computer bug.

In Gedcom, if there is a note about the death, it implies the individual deceased. If you remove the DATE, then the Gedcom standard assumes the individual deceased but the date of death is unknown. In other words, as soon as the word "DEAT" is found under an individual, the individual is assumed to be dead.
The solution to this is not to use the "Death Comment" unless the individual deceased. I am working on the Gedcom stuff. It has been a while since the last update. I have been into learning ASP.NET and other technologies for the report generator.

Update of GenoPro Beta 12
After testing several Gedcom files created by other genealogy titles, the value "No" is supported for implicit tags such as DEAT, MARR, DIV. In other words, the following code would indicate a live individual.
0 INDI @IND001@
1 NAME Daniel /Morin/
1 DEAT N <- Individual is not dead, therefore alive
|
and this code would indicate a married couple.
0 FAM @FAM002@
1 MARR
2 DATE 27 Jun 1972
1 DIV N <- The couple did not divorced, therefore still married
