What can I say........read the ID number! The plugin actually produced an acceptable number for my wife's side so the error is totally mine.
Sorry to have caused the problem, but thanks for your help. Going back to sleep now!

Thanks for the advice Mike, I think that splitting my tree is probably unnecessary and causing more hassle than I need.
Project abandoned!

Just out of interest, I had unticked all 4 boxes but the result set number was 47 more the Records Window number!
I would like to know where I went wrong.

Thanks Mike, I am sure this is my error but appreciate your help. I now have version 07 of the plugin but get same result. I wish to have as two new additional projects, separate trees for my wife's ancestors and my ancestors. I have selected my wife prior to running the plugin. There is no connecti...

Trying to use this Plugin to separate my wife`s ancestors from my own to run as a separate tree but despite following Mikes instructions it is not working. Have also read Bob Wards post of 01 Sept 17. I have probably missed something out, can someone give me line by line instructions please. Bruce E...

Hello Mike, Sorry to be so unknowledgeable on this but on my new laptop (almost empty) there is not a programme where I can enter the V5 or V6 upgrade codes into. Item B on the migration step, "install the Full V6 on the new pc using current licence details of V6" Where/what do I install into? I do ...

Wish to transfer my complete FH programme including Media to a new laptop. I have registration key and FH 5 & FH 6 upgrade keys. Do I start by copying to a separate hard drive and opening on the new laptop or is there an easier way? Both are running Windows 10. Can I run on both computers short term?

Thanks for all your help but it looks like I have reinstall. Having had FH since 2009 I do have the Transaction ID and all the
the upgrade licence details but where do I start. Is there a Link that I can begin from?
Not a computer expert I`m afraid!
Thanks for any replies.

Thanks Peter but no Family Historian on the list............what now?

Have just installed Windows 10. Backed up FH prior to this but the desktop link to FH has disappeared.
The FH file folder is on my backup disk.
How can I open and login to the FH programme to load the file?
Was using FH 6.

I have recently started getting a message from "Microsoft Security Essentials" every time that I start my computer telling me that "items detected on my PC require further analysis". The programme listed is C:\Programme Files\Family Historian\Programme\Fh.exe. Do I have a problem somewhere? I have r...

My Heritage is teamed with FH but the costs of the full package are quite high. Is the investment worthwhile?
It would appear to solve some of the importing problems.

Sorry about the confusion, latest tree imported from FTM.

The project tree I am currently working on is listed: Senter Family Tree 150214 12 Feb 2015

Thanks for the quick reply
Firstly, my latest tree on Fh is not shown as stored in the project media folder, how do I store it there?

I am not using Link to Face/ Detail

" when you imported the GEDCOM file into FTM none of the media files are linked" Yes that is correct.

Thanks
Bruce

I am trying to export my FH tree to Family Tree Maker. Using V6.0, Selected Export to FTM. Used ANSI and "Use existing file paths for external links" Most of the media is in the FTM tree media file (some missing) but is all Unlinked. How can I Export to FTM fully linked or should I export to Ancestr...

Thanks for all your help but I still have the problem. I have tried everything suggested, already use CC Cleaner and Malware byte. Would unloading and reloading FH be an answer? If so how could I safely do this? "Keen to upgrade to V6 but reluctant whilst I have this "hanging and freezing" problem w...

Thinking about upgrading to V6 but my current version is running slow, have to wait for it to go to Focus window etc.
Occasionaly sticks/freezes for maybe 30/ 40seconds. Is it my computer or FH?
Using Windows 7.
What can I do?

Hello Mike Your patience appreciated. Followed your instructions but no improvement. (I am using Windows 7). Disabled Auto-load for images but this does not seem to make any difference, should I leave it disabled? Have tried the Duplicate media plug-in but it does not delete the duplicate media, it ...

Thanks Mike, FH exe cpu runs up to 50 when starting up. You may also have hit on a problem that could be causing the slow running. Sometime recently I suddenly found that I had acquired a huge number of duplicate media, sometimes as many as 5 duplicates on one persons file. I have tried to use Janes...

Mike, thanks for trying to help. My apologies for not replying to you suggestion sooner. Have checked as you suggested and there are no programmes running that are using anything more than 1%. I still have the problem in fact this afternoon it too about 60 seconds just to load the project bow. After...

I am using version 5.0.9. and on opening it takes a few moments longer than usual to load and 'sticks' for a few seconds. Also when I go to bring up a diagram of an individual I get a 'ghost' image of the Focus window on the screen before the diagram appears. This only started a couple of weeks ago....

Thanks for all the advice......... downloading the latest V5.09 update has cured the problem.

Regards
BFE[smile]

Thanks to all who answered but no improvement! Jane, I have switched the thumbnail caching off but no change. Have also checked Task Manager but nothing else is running at the same time as FH. No change so far When FH opens with the Individual Records it is fine but as soon as I select a name and op...

My FH (5.07) is running slowly and `freezing`. (Bit like the weather!) This started about a week ago for no known reason. When I open the programme and select an individual to open a chart, it shows a `shadow` of the project box on the chart for a few seconds and then clears but often freezes whilst...
