Hello, It seems to me that Windows versions can be easily installed/removed. Gramps-3.1.2 is still available for download: http://sourceforge.net/projects/gramps/files/Stable/3.1.2/ After having backup your DB folder, you can try to remove your current Gramps version, then re-install Gramps-3.1.2 and try to load the Family Tree. If this works, export to Gramps XML without privacy flags or filters. Re-install last stable release, create a new Family Tree and import the Gramps XML. Else, prior Gramps versions (3.0.4, 2.2.10, 2.0.11) are listed on: http://sourceforge.net/projects/gramps/files/Stable/ It is not a .grdb file, DB is stored on your .gramps/grampsdb, right?

Well, "easily installed" is a subjective phrase, but you got me on the right track :). I actually had to back down to 3.1.1-1, install on a PC that didn't have Python or GRAMPS, and move over some DLLs (mostly regarding glade) but I finally got a working install and the data loaded up! Great tip that one Thanks again Sincerely, Dave Gilmore From: jerome <rom...@ya...> To: Benny Malengier <ben...@gm...>, da...@da...
