Thanks to you both

I am trying to get a list of all sources associated with a list of individuals I have a Named List which contains a number of individuals with their Record Id I have a Fact Query which returns a list of Events, Source Id and FactOwner Id What I want to do is restrict the Fact Query results to only t...

The new query is picking up an extra 15 people than the first query.

However, it has managed to make a connection to my father's 2nd wife, her son and parents

Helen (Ethel R) AINSWORTH is wife of Edwin SIMPSON and Edwin SIMPSON is ex-husband of daughter of James CARNEY

Thanks Mike & Lorna, I can understand the issue now.
I hadn't thought about the children going back up via their mother and into her branch.

Mike
It is my mother's father that I was using as the root person.
So I thought that by unlinking her from her parents there would be no connection to my father and thus the Simpson family.

Thanks Mike. Yes, I can see now why it might be very difficult (Impossible?) to get what I am looking for. i.e. All connections to the root (my grandfather) except for a given child (my mother) If the query expanded down from the root by any child, then by default it would pick up any siblings of th...

James Carney (my grandfather) is the person that I have been using as the root person. It seems (to me) a little peculiar in who is returned and who isn't. For example the query returns Patrick Bird who is described as No direct relationship found between Patrick BIRD and James CARNEY. Patrick BIRD ...

I've just run John's 'All Branch Relatives' query, with the added 'Add if a spouse of anyone in the current result set. Include relatives spouses.' The results are pretty good. Based on a manual process I get a result set of 365 people. The query returns 304, leaving 61 'missing' I checked out the m...

Hi Everyone Apologies for not coming back sooner but I got called away on a family emrgency :-( Many thanks for everyone's input - I seem to have opened a can of worms - never though that it would be as big a problem as it appears to be. I will have a look at all your comments and suggestions tomorr...

Thanks Mike, I'll give it a try this morning.
I've done something similar before but it was a while ago and the memory isn't what it was

Dave

I would like to create a query that would identify which branch of my family people belong to. e.g. Select one of my 4 grandparents and return a list of all people (not just direct ancestors) in that branch. (As far as I know, there are no cross branch connections above my grandparents) Had a quick ...

Many thanks Mike

It's working correctly now.

This is a bit of a vague question I'm afraid. I have just updated a plugin to v7 - "Updated Last 7, 14, or 30 days All Record types" It runs perfectly in Debug mode but when run in Live mode it crashes after asking for the two inputs. I have tried error trapping but as I can't get it to fa...

Hi Helen

strButton is I believe picked up from the input table.
However I'm not really sure - the code is from 'User Interface Buttons Snippet' by Mike and Jane.

Mike
Many thanks, that works a treat.

Thanks to you both.

Dave

Hi Helen Many thanks for your reply, and I can get it to work but only partially. The example prints i & v to the console with the correct values. However, when I try and incorporate it into the code to produce the buttons, I can't get it right. It displays the grid for the buttons and displays ...

I've been asked to update a plugin that i wrote in 2016 so that it works with v7. My stumbling block is around iupButtons which I can't find a solution for. Any help would be much appreciated. It fails on for intArgNum, strButton in ipairs(arg) do with "error attempt to index a nil value" ...

As usual Many Thanks Mike.

I haven't come across =GetLabelledText() before, or if I had I didn't appreciate what it did.

As usual I think I am asking for the impossible or something near it. I'm trying to write a query that looks at %INDI.NOTE2[1]% There will always be a line in that note somewhere in it that looks like:- CENSUSES: (c1847-1924) (where the values in brackets are there person's life dates) Don't ask why...

Hi Mike Thanks for that, it works a treat --Create a Flag tag on the BIRT --ptrFlag2 is a pointer to the BIRT event local ptrFlagNew = fhCreateItem("_FLGS", ptrFlag2) -- This creates the tag local ptrFlagNew2 = fhCreateItem("__PREFERRED", ptrFlagNew) -- This sets the value Regards

Thanks for that Mike.

Unfortunately I haven't managed to find the correct syntax for setting the value for the tag.

I'll persevere and see what I can come up with.

I'm writing a plugin to set the 'Preferred' flag on all BIRT events. [This relates to https://groups.io/g/family-historian/message/7112 - Highlight or Colour Facts on the property box] Following Mike's code above I can check if the flag already exists, so skip to next INDI. I can create the tag OK, ...

Many thanks Mike,
I'll get her to download it.

Dave

Hi Mike

Many thanks.

Hi I'm writing on behalf of a friend. She has just upgraded from v5.2 to v5.3 Using v5.2 it ran fine, but v5.3 gives the error message shown below OS: Windows 10 Pro FH: v6.2 ExportGed.png I personally can run v5.3 on Windows 11, using the same gedcom and get no problems. Any suggestion would be muc...

Thanks for the update Mike, much appreciated.
