Births/Deaths

Selecting this tab seems to crash FTA

 

Births/Deaths tab works just fine for me using FTA v4.1.1.4 to show Loose Births and Loose Deaths. Can you give some more information about your data/environment?

 

Win7 V4.1.1.4

Gedcom from full export from RootsMagic.

There are a few ca. dates in the gedcom which FTA doesn't seem to like on loading but it did work OK in previous versions.

Just crashes when I select the Births/Deaths tab.

Error is:

"Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately.

The added or subtracted value results in an un-representable. Date Time Parameter name: months."

I'm guessing that a calculation fails somewhere though I would expect it to handle ca. dates as this is a fairly standard way of adding an approximation.

Everything else seems to work OK.

Right, That was a bit of a mission!! ive change all the circa date to abt dates which in the gedcom standard and fixed a couple of others.

Still crashes with the same error

Here's the gedcom stats on load. I can't see anything that should generate an error unless it doesn't like the unknown fact types though I would expect it to just skip them?

Looks like its Microsoft .Net Framework 4.5.1

AFAIK everything is completely up to date via Windows Update

OK getting closer, The Births won't export giving the same error, The deaths seep to be OK. I'll need to work through the list and try and find the crook one.

Thanks for the help

Right, all sorted, Seems the error was in a date format. 1783/4 is not a valid gedcom date. From date to date also has issues and has to be bet date and date to work. Maybe I just don't get the def in the gedcom spec though as that seems to imply it should be OK.

Seems one needs to really watch how things get entered if you want to use a gedcom at any stage even though the software you are using will accept a format that is suspect.

Thanks once again for all the help folks - much appreciated!!
