Error: Cannot open Clipboard
Hi Nick, I'll try again!
When my Tree Draw file is open, I get an error message "Cannot open Clipboard". Whilst this doesn't appear to be impacting the programme operation, it is a pain because it means I have to keep deleting them, sometimes 20-30!
Another query is, why does Tree Draw not plot a second husband to the wife of a family membe? For example, my name is Lubbock and I am charting the family. A male Lubbock predecessor married and had children, after he died his wife married again. Why does Tree Draw not plot the second husband and their children, even though their details are all in the Legacy database?
Look frward to hearing from you.

I think that, also, with a descendant tree, multiple marriages of descendants will be shown but not multiple marriages of their spouses.Nick Hunter wrote:(snip)
What type of tree are you importing - descendant or ancestral? Ancestral trees will not show multiple marriages.
The second wife of "male Lubbock predecessor" will be shown but, as she is not a descendant of the source person of the chart, her earlier/later marriages (and any children of those marriages) will not be shown.
It's simple enough, though, to add & merge in a descendant chart with the second wife as source.

Nick, Graham,
Thank you both for your responses.
I think the error message might be related to the 'auto save' function. It doesn't happen whillst I'm using the computer but seem to appear if I leave it idle for some time. They appear on the desk top behind the Tree Draw screen. I'll try to define it a bit better.
Graham, do mean that you can merge two lots of descendants electronically or by physically drawing them in on the chart?
Cheers,
Roger

Re: Error: Cannot open Clipboard
Having created the main descendant chart I normally group all elements and move the information to leave space in the top area where charts are brought in.Roger B wrote:Graham, do mean that you can merge two lots of descendants electronically or by physically drawing them in on the chart?
I then create the second descendant chart, group its elements and move it to enable the main chart to be moved back (purely for ease of viewing & processing). Then it is simply a matter of matching elements of the two charts based on the person(s) appearing in both, deleting duplicates as necessary, and moving elements appropriately.
The method works with any combination of ancestor and descendant charts and produces (IMHO) by far the best result for All In One charts or composite charts containing (say) all descendants of all known ancestors.

Hi Nick, I'm pretty sure that it is something to do with the auto save, I left it overnight and had 13 error messages, roughly equating to the 12 hours that the computer had been on. I'll keep on it but if you have any good ideas, please advise.
Cheers,
Roger
