> In general it is never a good idea to simply trust the program to get it right when merging data. That applies to all programs, not just F.H. You are definitely advised to do some checking before accepting F.H.'s proposed merge plans (as displayed in the Merge/Compare dialog). I always recommend u...

My ISP has upgraded the scripting language the query store uses and consequently the script no longer works. It was decided to move the Query Store data into the Downloads area. There are now separate sections for reports, queries and text schemes and the added advantage is that there is now a searc...

Thanks for asking

Had a good show, on Saturday around 50 people came to listen to me.

Don't know if I got many converts, but most of the questions were constructive.

God put me on earth to accomplish a certain number of things. Right now I am so far behind I will never die. Bill Waterson, (Calvin and Hobbes) I, like many other people with technical expertise in some topic, regularly read various forums and mailing lists and try to answer questions for which I k...

are in the report options, print set up tab.

Have you set your main printer as default?

As I don't sell anything, unless a show asks for me to demonstrate FH as a user I don't go on stands etc. I suspect there will be some of the software vendors there though.

1st and 2nd May. I will be attending the show to give a demonstration of Family Historian on both days at 2pm. I will also be around the computer advice centre for much of the time on both days (although not until after 11:30 on Saturday). I would be delighted to put faces to names, if you would lik...

Having looked a bit more into the printing problem that Alan raised, I find that its actually not as bad as I made out in my first email on this topic. I said there that if you want to change the printer (and later, by implication this came to include changing the printer settings), you should do so...

I was sent a file which causes F.H. to freeze if you go into the Place List dialog, click on 'Reverse Display Order', and then try to sort on any of the columns. It turns out that the problem arises if (and only if) some of the place names include commas that have spaces between them (and nothing bu...

Printing not as show on the print preview The problem only arises if you are printing on a printer that is not your default printer. That is to say, when you go to print, you have to select the printer from the drop down list because the one you want isn't the one that is already selected. What I b...

If you are having problems downloading or installing a Family historian upgrade here are some points to check. When you download an upgrade, never just 'open' it when the download dialog box appears. You should always click 'Save' to save it to your hard disk first and then run it from your hard dis...

ADDNOTE.EXE is a program to create a full descendant report as an html file. Its start point is a Descendant Report from Family Historian, saved as a .TXT file. ADDNOTE relies on finding in the FH report the personal ID references for each person, enclosed in square brackets. ADDNOTE operates in thr...

Update complete Please let me know if you encounter any additional problems. ---------------------------------------- I am about to add a domain name to the web space this site is hosted on. Last time I changed the web configuration, there were problems with file permissions which meant members had...

This replaces 2.2.3 correcting the problem with pictures on diagrams and reports. See 2.2.3 article for details of functions added in 2.2.3 Here is what Simon said on the FHU mailing list Why another upgrade =============== As I said in an earlier email, we released an upgrade to version 2.2.3 a few...

There is a major problem which is occuring for some users with 2.2.3 when displaying photos in Diagrams and Reports. Symptoms include the diagram saying it is out of memory. The recommendation for anyone with 2.2.3 is to turn off pictures in diagrams until 2.2.4 is released. Here is what Simon has p...

2.2.1 Update and above avoids this problem

.

Update 2.2.3 corrects this problem

This includes fixes the dual monitor problem with 2.2.1 plus You now have the option to exclude any picture (linked to an Individual, Family or Source record) from either diagrams or reports or both. This option can be set from either the Multimedia Window or from the Objects tab of the Property Dia...

For some reason. This site lost some of its permissions. There have been errors writing to files. There are problems for some users. I am working with the ISP to resolve the problem. If you sign out, you will still be able to access the site as a guest. There is no need to sign out if your id is wor...

is now supported directly in 2.2

I can confirm that it is indeed a bug. If you open the Sources pane in the Property Dialog. The bug causes the program to close if you double-click in the Source Citation List in the area below all listed rows, if any, in this list. The same bug unfortunately affects not just the source citation lis...

I have seen in a few places now references to version 221b of Family Historian. Can I just make it quite clear that there isn't one. Its my fault that the confusion has arisen about this. There have been two versions of the _upgrade_ program to version 2.2 (or 2.2.1 to give it all 3 digits). The fir...
