Thanks will do that now!

I have FH V4.1 installed and have just received my V5 disc.
Do I uninstall V4.1 before installing V5 or can I install 'over the top' as it were?

I have my default diagram scheme just as I like it with flags ,text just so but I want to create a simple diagram to send to my cousin.
If I start with my default diagram and change everything I need too and save with another name do I still retain my original diagram scheme?

I think I have sussed it out now,Thanks!!

I have now managed to to get a line to appear but it is under the wrong individual!
I put the child count in for the husband and the line appeared under the wife!
I want to show the line under an individual who had no children and did not marry.

Also,if I go back to the old V3 details tab do I not lose what I have in the V4 details tab?

Sorry,I am being dim today! I have ticked the 'no offspring' marker. I am using V4 and on going to the ALL tab how do I add the count of children field? I have a child count field that I added using the ADD FACT button and put in 0 but still no line is showing up under the individual. Amm I still do...

I have put in 0 in the facts but cannot find a child count field.I remember it in the 'old' versions but cannot find it in V4

I used to know how to do this!!
I want to have a thick black line under any individual who has no children (in a diagram),can someone please remind me how to do it!
Thanks in advance.[grin]

I have one tree (Royal Family) with around 86,000 individuals,over 50,000 families and around 800 images (so far!).This is a complex tree with families and individuals linked all over the place. My problem is that the file firstly takes a long time to load up (about 5 minutes) and then when adding,l...

Hi Nick You have said that you are not sure yet as to the best way to deal with witnesses (to marriages). Can I suggest that when entering a witness you can choose if the individual is already in FH (ie a relative etc)and create an event for them or the option to create a new individual as an associ...

What would be the best way to record research data.For example when trying to find someone on a census,parish records etc. how do most people record what they have looked through already so they don't keep repeating searches (as I have done!).Would it be best to list all research done and the conclu...

I had thought it would simply be a case of putting the relevant file/folder in the dropbox folder as I have done with my project folders.Since this does not seem to be the case which file do I need to copy to my other computer so that the settings can be the same on both? Thanks[smile]

I have sucessfully been using Dropbox to synchronise files between 2 computers although I am not sure which folder to put in Dropbox so that all the settings (flags,custom queries,diagram colours etc)are the same on each.Can anyone help.Probably a very simple answer!![grin]

Thanks Jane
I didn't know you could do that!

I have flags and box schemes attached to different individuals but kept losing them when temporariliy they were no longer attached to anyone (hope that makes sense!)What I have done now is create a separate individual named 'FOR FLAGS ONLY' and attached all flags etc to it,so now no flags can be los...

Just an update to say everything seems to be fine now![grin]

Thanks Jane![grin]

I want to temporarily switch off icons on my diagram as I want to send a copy to a relative.Is there a way to do this without having to go to the  Diagrams Options > Boxes and turning them off individualy as I do not want to have to go through and get them all back again!I am sure there must be a si...
