I probably messed this up, but I deleted the 3 facts (birth, death, burial) and was going to readd them because I wanted to set the screen up differently. Now when I try to add a fact (even the default facts back), I get this error message . . . Stretch column index out of range.
I have run the tools then closed and opened the program again and still get the error. Please help me to at least get the defaults back and let me know if we are able to customize this screen or not. I realize that the Marriage fact is a family fact and can’t be added, but I would like to add some other facts including custom facts.

PS I do have a backup, just didn’t want to go back to that point.
The screen is the Customize Add Person Form when you Add Individual. There is a Customize button at lower left of the Add Person screen. The buttons on the Customize Add Person Form allow you to: add fact to form, delete, move down, or move up. This form allowed you to add fields, such as place to each fact as well. I had mine customized and was using that form since RM7, but I wanted to tweak it, so I just deleted the default facts (with fields) and now I cannot add any fact at all without getting the error . . . Stretch column index out of range. Hope that clears up what the problem is.
The problem is you deleted all the facts on the Add Person screen. Once that was done, it now has an error when you try to add a fact back. This part has been reported to development. The only way to recover is to drag n drop the database into a new blank file. Just don’t delete all the facts, add the facts you want and then delete the ones you don’t want.
Thanks Renee! . . . I just did a restore and then deleted the facts I didn’t want and added the facts I wanted. Would have been nice to get a warning, though!
