Mike at my age I dare not hold my breath!! I realise that this could be a lengthy process if it does ever result in an amendment to the programme. We can but hope. In the meantime, as I am part way through the process of incorporating some 3000 plus items into the project most with consequent multip...

Mike. Apologies, I realise my previous comment had not indicated that I had taken on board your earlier explanation of the fact that the captions were related to the Reports rather than what appeared in the Thumbnails.

Many thanks for that very quick clarification. It makes me wonder whether it would be possible for the facility to be extended in a future FH Version to the other types of multimedia. I use a lot of pdf items quite often using the same date and it would be very useful to see the reference without ha...

In using the 'Use Note As Caption' option when adding Multimedia items I have found that it only seems to work with image items such as jpg, not Word documents or PDF items. Can anyone please tell me whether this is normal or am I doing something incorrectly?
