Family Historian User Group

Dear Tatewise Thank you for replying. I must admit that I was somewhat taken aback when you suggested I had my phone upside down !! But that was absolutely right. After looking at links etc etc It appears that when using an iphone to take pictures it should be turned so that the volume buttons point...

Hi I have not added pictures to my project for some time but prompted by the VJ Anniversary I decided I needed to do an update. I took a photograph with my phone and emailed it to myself [no scanner]. I then managed to get the photo into the media file belonging to the project. It is there with all ...

Many thanks for all the help given and so quickly. I did as suggested used the v 6 disc and a usb stick to move the program to the new computer. The version 5 key and then the version 6 key but that one needed a name. Anyway all installed now on new computer and upgraded to 6.2.7 Some custom setting...

Thank you for your replies.
How do I install the V6 disc ? No disc drive on new computer. So what do I do ?
Sorry I am sure it is a basic question .

I have a new computer which I have successfully set up, however I have not yet transfered anything from old computer to the new one. It is all backed up on a separate hard drive. I have Family Historian installed on the old computer with version 6.2.7. I have discs + keys for version 6.00 upgrade, v...

Tatewise Yes I am persisting with record flag conditions at the moment I thought I would try to sort this out first Just had another go and hurrah it is all working ok.now. I had being exactly as you said but when I clicked on the icon box underneath it said file not found. When I went to select it ...

Sorry I am afraid I need more help. I now have the folder that holds the icons. I cannot link the icons to the flags, When I go to diagram/ options /box /record flag/icon /edit - I get file not found. This is what comes from not having used the programme for some time, I have forgotten things plus t...

Many thanks.
I think it was the space in ProgramData that was the problem plus I did a forward slash instead of backward.
Anyway all sorted now.
I do use the "fiddly" process but can now try the Expression Conditions.
Thanks to both of you.

I am a long time user of FH but not for the last few months. I have version 6 and windows 10. I have successfully added some 1939 register details using an Ancestral Sources template. Then today I wanted to add an icon to the diagram for this data. I downloaded an icon listed here on a forum but cou...

Bonzo Thank you for your reply. Even though I had the images in the correct age order in the property multimedia they were still not correct in the report. Lorna Many thanks that has solved it ! Brilliant ! I had looked at the edit multimedia section loads of times but the exclude from pictures butt...

I have 3 pictures linked to a face in the property box. They are in order of entering. I used the preference button to choose the one that appears on the diagram. When I look at the report for the person the pictures are aligned at the top going from left to right as in the property box, but I would...

Tatewise - You are brilliant and deserve a gold medal ! Many many thanks all sorted now. For anyone else like me who is hesitant and not sure what they are doing see below It took me a little time to decide where to save the file to on the new computer but the pathway was listed clearly when I event...

This is where I am with my transfer Family Historian version 5.0.7  Vista to Windows 7 In view / Standard diagrams - list is there. In view/ Custom diagrams - nothing there. Should be 4 diagrams. In view / Standard queries / Queries were there but have now disappeared - no doubt to my moving files. ...

I am having the same problem as the people above. New computer - Vista to Windows 7 Version 5 FH on both computers. Used 'Easy Transfer' to move documents etc. On FH icons showing on diagrams are standard ones not the customised ones census etc. No custom queries or diagrams I have read and reread a...

My file has 5200 members and now has 208 pools. The later pools have only a few members.
smol

I have baptism, marriage & census events where appropriate.
yes the pool numbers remain the same after saving, closing and reopening the file. My version of FH is 5.0.2.

I have my records page set up with a column that gives the Pool numbers. Yesterday on entering children that belonged to a couple in Pool 1 I discovered that the children were in pool 208 ! I did not realise I had so many pools (this is my main file in which I thought the majority of the people were...

Hi Treefrog & Nick Yes I had problems with saving Ancestry pages as you say in 2007. I followed Jocelyn's instructions about the virtual file and saving a page and it worked fine for a long time. I am now on IE8 with vista and have started experiencing problems also. The virtual option does not ...

Chris & Gerry
Many thanks for that, I had no idea that you could print the screen.
I'm afraid that I am not too computer literate, but have learned something new today.
Thank you again

Thanks Jane.
The descendant report is quite close but the ancestors has too much detail which means I have to change settings, similarly with the family report. Annoying when you can see a neat simple diagram /layout on the screen but cannot print it
Is this one for the wish list ?
smol

I am using version 4.02 and am increasingly finding the focus window useful. Is it possible to print the result pages from each of the tabs ?
I suspect not but thought I would just check.

Nick Sorry if I did not explain what was happening very well. I was referring to the fact that the census icons were not showing in the diagram of the project but were showing in the gedcom file in V4. I deleted the project and started again to make another project with this same file. This time I g...

I have created a new project as the instructions only to find that the census flags did not feature in the diagram. As it was a file I have not looked at for sometime I assumed that I had not set the flags. So spent some time trying to remember how to do this but could not get the flags to show. I c...

Many thanks, Success at last !! I followed your instructions Nick (which was what I was doing)got the navigation pane, clicked on documents,selected folder,typed filename,save but again got the virtual folder So I followed Treefrog/Jocelyn's instructions from there and it worked. Jocelyn - how on ea...

hello Treefrog
Make a copy is not an option when I right click.
On your vista do you have protected mode on ? (Bottom Rt on bottom toolbar)
How do you access the virtual file ?
I am wondering if I am looking at the correct file.
Sorry to be such a pain.
