Re: Citation Specific Details in Queries

They had to be Templated Sources because Citation Detail and Reference are not Generic fields.
BTW: Once you create a Query it is immediately saved. You would have to specifically delete it.
You can use any existing Query to interrogate the Fields DRA without affecting the Query.

Unfortunately, the Query > Columns tab > Fields pane does not support Templated Named Metafields. Please refer to the Help for Understanding Data References and scroll down to Data References And Metafields .

Re: Standardized Place in Diagram

%FAMS.MARR[1].PLAC>STAN% is almost a perfectly correct Data Reference for the Standardized field. %CUR~FAMS>MARR.PLAC>STAN% is what you should use for the Marriage Standardized place. However, it is not allowed in the position you have used in a =FactText(...) function, so is ignored. The =FactText...

It might help if you could post screenshots of the Marriage Certificate and 1881 Census. See the FHUG Knowledge Base > Forum Usage under Attachments and Taking Screenshots for how to do that.

Re: 1881,1891,1901 CENSUS BIRTHS DIFFERENT

Welcome to the FHUG. It is quite common for entries on Census Returns to be erroneous and inconsistent. Unlike BMD Certificates that are completed near the date & place of the event, Census birth details rely on the person remembering and the enumerator hearing & recording the details correc...

Re: Windows Media path+filename length under Parallels

Yes, it is not advisable to have various Projects in different locations.
Ideally, all Projects should be in the File > Project Window... Location: path.

Re: Validate and convert date

An issue was discussed recently with regard to AS that has a SYSTEM.DATE option which is based on the PC locale format and may get mishandled when entered into FH source templates where the Short Date Format is different.
See Casting template data as a particular data-type (22911).

Re: Individual Summary report relationship Capitalisation

Yes, it is a little inconsistent and could be reported to CP if you felt strongly.
However, there is a slightly awkward workaround using the ToUpper(...) function with LeftText(...) and MidText(...):
=ToUpper( LeftText( Relationship( Fileroot() ), 1 ) )=MidText( Relationship( Fileroot() ), 2 )

Re: Validate and convert date

Note that the EstimatedBirthDate function returns a Date Point value and not a Date value.
local dtpMin = fhCallBuiltInFunction( "EstimatedBirthDate", ptrIndi, "EARLIEST", 5 )

So you must use dtDate:GetDatePt1() to be able to compare with dtpMin.
