Pocket Genealogist uses standard Microsoft Database Drivers to create the Pocket Genealogist database used for synchronization.  Additionally, these database drivers are used to directly read the data in 3rd party genealogy products such as Legacy Family Tree and RootsMagic.  Northern Hills Software has decided not to package Pocket Genealogist with the appropriate Microsoft drivers since it would make the download significantly larger and could put duplicate files on your computer.   (We feel that we shouldn't be making these decisions for you without your knowledge.)

If you are getting IM002 errors trying to do a 'direct' import on RootsMagic or The Master Genealogist, then you need to update your Microsoft Foxpro database driver. 

Click HERE or on the link below to go to the Microsoft webpage with details.  You need to download and install the "MSI" file.

Note:  If you are running Microsoft Vista, you may get a "Internal Error 2738" when you try to install the MSI file.   Here's how to resolve:

1. Determine where the file "vbscript.dll" resides on your machine.  Check the "c:\windows\system32" folder first.
2. Go to "Start", "Accessories" and right click on "Command Prompt".  Then select "Run as Administrator".
3. In the "Command Prompt" window, enter the following command (without the quote marks)... "cd c:\windows\system32" and press enter.  (Substitute the "path" value to the location where "vbscript.dll" resides on your machine)
4. Now enter (without quotes) the command "regsvr32 vbscript.dll" and press enter.  This "registers" the Visual Basic scripting language to your machine, for some reason on SOME Vista systems this has not been done.
5. You should now be able to run the MSI file to successfully install the Foxpro driver.
