Re: Calling a plugin from a plugin (again...)

The other major problems with modules is keeping them up to date on other users PCs. Even if they can be downloaded they would potentially cause problems if the modules are updated and break plugins which are expecting the older versions, or vice versa. The problems caused by LoadRequire is a case i...

Re: Using a named list to add a fact to each indi in the list

I wonder if it might be quicker for each settler to "walk down" the tree and build a table of descendants, a simple table with the reference numbers in. Repeat with each settler, this should result in a table with each settler, skipping the branch if someone on it is already in the list. At the end ...

Another option if you are talking about narrative reports might be to use the {blank} option in the sentence for the fact to suppress them.

Re: Selective Undelete

With my programming hat on that would be almost impossible as you can undo anything so there would be the possibility of causing cascade problems.

If you are deleting lots of records why not simply add them to a list and then check it twice before using delete list records to remove them all.

I might be missing something here, but could you not just use your query to create individual narrative reports for each person on the line, then include a list from the How Related Report.

In TMG did you change the labels in the default fact templates in TMG to set the values?

The problem was actually where the US English language pack had been changed to a foreign language rather than creating or using a separate language pack in TMG. I beleive Calico are already aware of the issue.
