FM 2019

I'm using a trial version of FM2019. I'm importing a large MIF file into a frame document. Each time FM2019 just quits. The MIF file would generate a frame document of 2100 pages. I know this because the same MIF file imports into FM7.1 just fine.Any thoughts?

Rog,

Was the MIF file created in FM 7.1? 7.1 did not support Unicode, so one thing I would watch for is character set problems.

Since you can open the MIF file in 7.1, you might try deleting everything after page 1000 in 7.1 and saving the result as MIF. Can you open the first 1000 pages in FM 2019? If not, what about the first 500 pages? 100? 50? 10? Once you've succeeded in opening a part of the document in the newer version, can you open the following part?

What happens if you open the FM file directly?

It opens just fine. I select-all and delete the existing import. Then import the new MIF file and within a few seconds FM2109 just quits.

You don't usually import the MIF, but open it. After you open it (it gets converted to an FM file), you should be to cut and paste it.

Jeff, Thanks for your reply. I'm running 64 bit version on Toshiba Laptop with 16GB of RAM. I just checked and I'm up to date on any updates.

First off, make sure you're all patched up - just loading FM fresh doesn't mean that you have all the fixes that were added since it was released. Next, have a look at your machine - are you running the 64 or 32 bit version of FM2019? Do you have enough RAM and drive space? Is your FM file local or on a network drive?

I have plenty of drive space and it a local version.

Does it give any message when it chokes on the MIF file? Any errors logged?
