Re: Given Name or Surname not updating
A final follow-up, I ran the query spec'd by Tatewise, and having deleted the fields a quick export and import to Gedview had everyone's names correct. Thanks to all.

Re: Given Name or Surname not updating
I've been using FH for some years, it is quite probable I imported from a previous program, but I can't for the life of me remember. Must be an age thing!
Thanks for the info Tatewise.

Re: Given Name or Surname not updating
Thankyou everyone for your input to this. I'll have to delete the fields, is there a way of batch/bulk deletion?
Thank you,
Terry

Re: Given Name or Surname not updating
I exported to Gedview (an iPad app) where the problem manifested itself. I tried the same file in Heredis and it was OK, so it looks like the two apps reference different name fields. I'll have to figure how to get Gedview to read the correct name field. Maybe the Export Gedcom plug-in has an option...

Re: Given Name or Surname not updating
This is baffling. I haven't input the Given Name and Surname fields, they have somehow been generated, but not for all people.

Re: Given Name or Surname not updating
Yes in the side area/properties, and yes I did click out of the box. I noticed the anomaly when exporting a Gedcom file to other applications. The full name is OK, but the separate Given Name and Surname fields don't reflect the name change.

Given Name or Surname not updating
I changed someone's name in the focus window on FH V5, but the Given Name and Surname fileds were not updated. Is this usual or is it a bug?
