Thanks very much for the guidance. The article Mike suggested has worked perfectly.

FH v6 I scan a birth/death certificate as a jpeg file in landscape mode. I save this to the media file in the project data file. When I come to link this to the media file the file links only in portrait mode. I can't see it being the scanner as it has already saved it in portrait mode. It is in lin...

Thanks Peter

Ah Ah!! a light bulb moment I think.......... I do only have one copy of my project - in drop box. What I thought was wrong was that when I open FH I get the projects window showing no projects, and I was expecting to see my project in the window. I then use the browse button to find my project in D...

I think I'm doing something wrong on drop box. I've transferred my FH files to dropbox - but when I open FH I don't have any projects shown other than the demonstration. I have to go into drop box to open my project via a gedcom file - then FH opens it. Should my family project on drop box also stil...

Thanks for your help.[lol]

I'm thinking of using dropbox to enable me to use my laptop remotely. A bit dubious in that I'm not sure what to do. If I simply copy my latest back up from my standalone to dropbox and restore from there to my laptop FH, will it sync all files etc. What about other links (photos etc)? I guess they ...

Thanks Jane

Has anyone got any advice on how to request access to medical records of father, grandfather and gg grandfather (and mothers!)etc

Thanks very much Nick yes, it does now make sense.

I'm working in FH. My procedure is this: - 1.I will enter the source document via gedcom census or via the census form itself. 2.At a later stage (which happens to be now). I will try to attach a multimedia file to the individuals and the source entry itself. 3.When I've entered through gedcom censu...

I've just spent the Christmas break linking loads of census media files to individuals (previously saved as Jpegs and then saved to the project folder and then linked to individuals). This morning I find that the link is broken on some of them but not all. This has played havoc with my recording/fil...

Thanks very much for your help Jane. I'm back on track and understand the workings of the project folder much more clearly. I've also started to use the project folder for my tree (and it really is sooo simple!!)

Hope you had a great Christmas and wish you a great New Year too.[smile]

Thanks Jane - you've gathered I'm relatively new. No I haven't created a project my tree is in my documents in its own folder. I'll look at the How To's and see if they help. In passing, I've just downloaded drop box (still synching). I'm hoping I can see all media links when this is complete. Thank...

This may be really stupid but I don't understand the back up procedure. I simply back up to a memory stick at the moment but I've read that v4 back up defaults to the documents projects folder. I'm on version 4 but on looking through the projects folder in my documents there's nothing there. It's no...
