Re: Record ID

I hate to contradict Lorna, but few of the popular Report types have a Record Id tick Option and few of them have a Main tab. Two that do are the Outline Reports and Record Detail Reports. Mike, I didn't say anything about how many report types have a Record ID tick option or a Main tab, so I don't...

Re: Record ID

Hello, welcome to FHUG. You didn't say which type of report you are looking at, but you should be able to remove the Record ID. With the report open, click on the Options tab to the right. On the Main tab of the Report Options window there will be a section listing which types of item can be include...

Re: Adding Media files.

Are we all agreed that it is highly desirable that on the media tab of the property box there should be an option for all of the images associated with the individual to be listed? I woudn't object but I wouldn't use it, so for me it's definitely not 'highly desirable'. The Media tab of the Propert...

Re: Adding Media files.

currently to do so one has to work around this limitation in FH and physically link the image directly to the individual. A relatively simple change to FH (and TNG) would allow the media tab to show those images without having to do this. I suspect that CP feel they have provided something close to...

Re: Offer to retain settings

Do you open AS directly, or launch it using Mike’s plugin? I don’t use the plugin but I know it has a Close on 'Save Entry To File' ? option so if you untick that it won't close AS after each save. Otherwise AS shouldn’t close after saving, regardless of whether you have selected “Offer to retain se...

Re: Expression guidance please

What expression are you using for the full name?

%INDI.NAME:FULL% should give the full name without the suffix.

%INDI.NAME:ADORNED_FULL% will give the full name including any prefix and suffix.

Re: Merging Citations in FH7?

It is not obvious to me how the fields within a Citation could be merged anyway. How would you merge the Where Used or Text From Source fields, etc, if they refer to different sources?

(EDIT: Mike's reply arrived while I was writing this. I'll post mine anyway, but as Mike said a screenshot will help to confirm the problem.) You have two Family Records for the couple. Deleting one of the Family records won’t delete the individuals, so it’s safe. In the Records window look at the F...

Re: Adding Media files.

The usual recommendation for images of certificates is to link them to a Source record, and cite that Source for all the facts derived from the certificate (e.g. parents’ names, residence, age, occupation). You can also link the image directly to a fact. You don’t say whether you have already create...

You can see a full list of each persons's facts by expanding their record in the Records window, or by looking at the All tab of their Property box. However if you want a less cramped layout you could use a custom query. Try this one: All facts for selected individual.fhq Download and double-click t...

Re: Handwritten GRO entry - Confusion

I agree with Mark. I have found both those entries on Findmypast and looked at the images of the pages. On the GRO’s own site the 1930 entry doesn’t show up in the search (probably because it's only a cross reference to the 1959 entry), and births from 1935 to 1983 can’t be searched. However as you ...

You are not doing anything wrong. It is shown as a census because AS uses the census fact type. You can change the display in the facts tab by using Tools > Fact Types > Census > Edit > Advanced and in the Summary Template field enter {=TextIf(GetDisplayText(%FACT.DATE%,min) = "29 September 193...

One feature that has not been mentioned, and I overlooked in my OP, is Named Lists . Should a Where Used comprehensive Result Set include members of Named Lists and their Notes ?
