Thanks for replying Tatewise,

I'll give it some it's thought and then ask CP.

The Create CD / DVD files produced are stored within the project. After I have rerun the creation the project backup takes a lot longer (several minutes) to run. If I then copy this backup file to my NAS via Microsoft's SyncToy over WiFi it takes a couple of hours. Is there any way to generate the C...

Update: Support Ticket (#646202) Raised

Thanks Bill, I will report it to CP.

I have just installed v7.0.10 and have noticed an anomaly, If I generate any report, the report shows up OK, then if I click "Save Report As" the usual menu to choose PDF File, Web Page etc. appears but none of these options seem to do anything at all. They were all working before the update. Does a...

I use a NAS to keep my backup synced. I mostly work on a laptop and copy the projects file to the NAS at the end of each session. I then copy the file down to the desktop when ever I need to use it. This keeps my master copy on the laptop with two backup copies on the NAS and desktop. To transfer th...

The same has happened to me. The problem just disappeared after a few days - no idea what may have caused it.

As my problem seems to be because of v6 charts and I have deleted all my v6 charts this would be difficult but I will see what I can do.

I have reported this to CP. They requested that I send them a copy of my entire tree which I was not happy to do - too much personal info to release. I have got around the problem by deleting all v6 charts and recreating them in v7. I realise that this is just a workaround but it will do me for now....

Thank you, I will report this shortly

Thank you both. I am using 7.0.5 and both types of rebuilds are causing the shut down. A couple of my saved charts are pictures, rotated to fit the page and it may be these that are causing the problem.

I have just upgraded to v7 and have found that refreshing my books causes FH7 to shut down completely after a short while generating the book. The book contains several saved charts as well as reports. Is this a known problem or should I report it to CP?

Thanks Mike as ever your knowledge of F H is superb

I also have this problem. For security reasons I do not trust the internet and keep my tree and other research on a laptop that has no access to the outside world. I download to my desktop and after checking, transfer any files to the laptop on memory stick etc.

Now that AS7 does not support flags I have converted my diagram flags to expressions. This leaves many individual records showing flags such as "1861 Census" etc. To avoid later confusion is it possible to remove this data from my tree without going into each individuals record? Thanks

Thanks all, please feel free to use them - glad to help

Ha! Found it. Perhaps someone could check this out before releasing it - I am not confident that the templates are OK.

Hi Mike - I would like to attach the templates but I don't know how! I have exported them from Ancestral Sources to my desktop but how do I get them up to you?

Thanks for your help Mike - I have finally managed to cobble up a suitable template. Best wishes

Thanks for replying so promptly. It was creating a new template that I had been struggling with. I will try again tomorrow night with your suggestions. Thanks again Treesearcher2

An ancestor of mine ended up in the USA. I have used Ancestral Sources to add the 1880, 1900 and 1910 data but I am having trouble adding data for the above. I believe that I need to add or amend a template for this but I am struggling. Does anyone please have a template that I could copy? Thanks, T...

Thanks Mike,

Problem solved - how do you do it? Many many thanks for taking the time to help me.

Thanks Mike, I am using Windows 10 - updated and patched to the latest version. In FH, I select "Publish", then select any report, when it has generated I then click "Save Report As", select "PDF File...". A small window appears headed "Family Historian", it contains the words " Printing", "Page", "...

Thanks Mike, Both reports and diagrams are produced, FH does not now shut down after producing them. When I click on Save as PDF I get a Windows Explorer screen allowing me to choose the required file name and then saves OK. The only anomaly now is that I do not get the window that you posted. I wil...

Thanks Mike,

That is the screen I am missing - have tried both options again with no joy. However FH is working OK bar this and I can live with it as is. Thanks for you input.
