Thank you Adrian, that makes the Facts list so much neater.

I can see it's going to be quite a steep learning curve going from v5 to v7, thank goodness for this forum.

Thanks again.

I have finally upgraded from v5 to v7. I'm finding a number of odd things, a few examples: A couple divorce, the woman remarries twice, for some reason these remarriages show on her first husband's Facts list, even calling her Spouse. Her remarriages are nothing to do with his life after the divorce...

Thank you for the explanation of the two icons.

Yes, I do use the Backup and Restore Family Historian Settings plugin, & have just finished a backup of all projects & settings.

Thank you again for your help.

Re the Icons in the project folder, I have often wondered what is the difference between the one with the three green squares & the one with one red, one green & one yellow square?

That's odd, the Default Startup File is pointing to Dropbox, which I haven't used for about two years now, I know I changed it to Google Drive, & this update problem is very recent, certainly not that long. The other 4 projects correctly point to Google Drive. I've opened yesterday's backup, made th...

I backup to an external hard drive (I use 2 alternatively) I am due another one, must do that tonight, I would hate to lose all the 1921 info. I am wondering if the problem is with Google Drive. After downloading images, I rename them & add them to the appropriate folder in the project, as I have al...

The project window shows the location correctly as Google Drive\Family Historian Projects

I have 5 projects, none of them have a green tick & never have.

I normally open FH by clicking on the icon on the task bar, & FH opens at my default project. Project folders stored on Google Drive. Tuesday 25th Oct I spent some time in the evening updating this project with 1921 Census images & transcriptions. FH is set to save every 5 minutes. When I had finish...

Thanks Mike. I've now done the update, which I didn't know about as when I click 'check for updates' I'm told about v6.

I'll now do a backup of my settings & keep it in Dropbox this time, so if the worst happens again I'll at least be able to find it!

Thanks again for your help.

Thank you both for your replies. My hard drive failed on my last laptop, so I had to start afresh with my new laptop, installing V5 from the disc. I though I had backed up my customisations & preferences but couldn't find the backup, so had to try & remember what I had done before. I followed your s...

I am using version 5, I had no problems on Windows 7, but now I'm using Windows 8 I'm getting a very annoying bug. When I change the BIRTH date I get a little box with this message: Possible error Date is earlier than the individual's birth date. How can a birth date be earlier than a birth date?? I...

Thanks Jon.
I've tried that, the property box is still missing

Hi Jane, thanks for your reply. The box disappears as soon as I click the Float icon, so I don't get chance to move it. I have closed down all open windows just in case it's hidden itself, but there's no sign of it. I haven't changed any settings so there's no reason for it to hide. It was OK yester...

I'm using FH version 4.0.2, & have had no problems with it until this evening. I prefer the Property Box to be floating, but now when I click on the Float Property Box icon, the box disappears. It doesn't reappear when I click on a name in Individual Records, or when I click on a name, right click &...
