[LegacyUG] Legacy unable to "lock file"

2009-10-05 Thread Pat Hickin
I am trying to create a .pdf (descendant narrative) with LOTS of pictures. Without the pictures I was unable to create the file easily (it was roughly 800 pages long). With the pictures, I get a repeated error message that says: Error opening temporary work file. Error 3050. Could not lock file.

But it does not print the LOCATION picture unless you attach the picture to the event. And marriage pictures do not print at all unless you add a separate marriage event and attach the picture to that event. CE -Original Message- From: k...@legacyfamilytree.com [mailto:k...@legacyfam
