@GenoProSupport: Apparently you were right on the money. I'm including a screenshot of the Family Properties dialog that shows the resulting test. Also, I tested in Wine under Mac as well and this fixed the problem there as well. I realize it's probably a huge undertaking to fix so many dropdowns, but it looks like this will take care of one of the biggest issues I've seen with running on Mac with CrossOver and Wine. I expect this will also fix the problem on Linux-Wine versions as observed by powery and confirmed by my own testing.
Thanks for the quick responses. I've always been pleased with the Windows support that I've observed/received and now it looks like a couple of alternatives for Mac users is possible, too.
Edit: I should say a couple of additional alternatives for Intel Mac users, as running in a virtual machine has always worked properly as far as I can remember.

Just to say thanks for all the updated info on how to use GenoPro on the Mac. My son gave me his 6 year old mac when he upgraded recently. I was everywhere, searching for a way to get the software onto the Mac. Following an upgrade to Snow Leopard I now have the software up and running using Crossover. This will hopefully allow me to take my book to our local records office and enter data directly onto the data base, instead of coming home with reams of paperwork.
Regards Wavey

@waveydavey49: Glad this discussion has helped. I've been speaking with GenoProSupport as well and they are going to try to work with us to take care of some of the color issues and such as time permits. It's a huge undertaking for them to make such large changes; I've been very pleased to see that they are at least open to the possibility of these types of corrections. As it is, GenoPro has been working fairly well under CrossOver, but if you find any other problems let me know and I'll see if I can figure out what's going on. I've got Wine installed on my MacBook as well since I'm trying to help those that can't afford CrossOver. I'll be able to test at both levels and provide feedback to CodeWeavers and to the Wine project itself. Every little bit helps the overall community.

In continuing to isolate problems with reporting, I found that the VBScript and JScript versions installed by CrossOver are not sufficient, but must be replaced by Windows Script 5.7, available from CrossOver's Configure->Manage Bottles menu option. Click Install Software then select Unsupported Applications and scroll through the community list until you find Windows Script 5.7.
Additionally, the ADODB streams are not available as there are no data access components installed by default. These can be installed by using Manage Bottles, clicking Install Software, selecting Runtime Support Components, and scrolling until you find Microsoft Data Access Components 2.8 (the other versions are no longer available at Microsoft's site).
@GenoProSupport: I have a couple of errors still occurring after these two dependencies are resolved in the Narrative History report.
In the init.htm file, I'm receiving an error in line 454 where the Session("HtmlLanguage"). The existing command results in:
Error at line 454, position 1 (init.htm): Type mismatch: 'Util.FormatPhrase'
Microsoft VBScript runtime error 800A000D
I've modified this line from:
Session("HtmlLang") = Util.FormatPhrase("{0}[-{1}]",LCase(ReportGenerator.SkinLanguage), LCase(GetParameter("LangHtmlCulture")))
--- to ---
Session("HtmlLang") = "en-US"
After that, I'm receiving messages that line 660 has an error:
Error at line 660 (init.htm): Object doesn't support this property or method
Microsoft VBScript runtime error 800A01B6
I'm not sure where the Pictures collection is assembled and haven't found it in any of the scripts so far. Is this passed from the application or is there a subroutine somewhere in the scripting that assembles this collection? I'm trying to figure out a good way to debug what's going on, but so far haven't had any good ideas.
I'd be interested to know if any Linux-Wine users out there have a similar problem with generating this report, or if there is still some component missing. Error logs and other indicators haven't shown any further missing components to this point.
Thanks.

I have GenoPro on a Linux Asus Eee 900 which is fine for editing and display. The reporting does not work because of lack of Vb scripting. Not a problem for my use as a field data collector. Not sure if this has been solved as it is not of high importance for me but I have not seen any update about this.

@appleshaw: I figured I'd try to get as much of it ironed out as I could. I don't really use the reporting either as there are a few decent GEDCOM tools out there and I really use GenoPro more for the organizational abilities. However, I'd like to be able to get the Web Publishing option working as it seems quite a few people are using it. The Windows Script package seemed to install properly, I figure there is probably another dependency somewhere that I haven't yet figured out. Thanks for the feedback!

I made an update at http://www.genopro.com/download/InstallGenoProCrossOverFix.exe which should display the text with the correct color. The fix was rather simple; I simply forgot to set the text color to the proper value and under CrossOver, the text color was set to white, thus drawing white text on a white background, making the text appear as not being displayed. You are welcome to keep using this version for your own use. I want to include a few more improvements before the official release of version 2.5.4.0.

@GenoProSupport: I tried the fixed version but I'm still getting the "blank" selected items:
I went ahead and reinstalled the test version that you sent a few days ago and can see the Hello World in each field:
Both were installed into a fresh CrossOver "bottle" as I didn't want to risk contamination. Let me know if there are any settings that you suspect or if there is another version you'd like for me to try.
Once we get things ironed out sufficiently, with your permission, I'm going to contact CrossOver and work with them to create an installation option similar to other supported and unsupported apps. This will require only that the user install CrossOver and then select the application to install. CrossOver will then take care of all prerequisite installations and will then download the current version from GenoPro directly.
Thanks for the great work and assistance so far!

Thanks for the feedback. I made http://www.genopro.com/download/InstallGenoProCrossOverFix2.exe to attempt to diagnose the source of the problem. This update will display in the Message Log the selected text. If the selected text appears in the Message Log, however not displayed on the screen, then there is a problem with the font or the text color. If there is no text in the Message Log, then something is going wrong when fetching the selected text of the combo.
