Hi Tatewise and PWE Many thanks for your help it's very much appreciated. I have successfully managed to install/transfer my file from the external hard drive to desktop PC big sigh of relief from me. One small point I now get the Project Window up when I switch on. I have to double click on the fil...

I'm afraid I couldn't use this method. I have the file on an external hard drive connected to my PC. Can I copy my file and paste it C: drive then onto FH in MY Documents?

Hello once again I have at last bought a new PC. I have installed FH 4.1.3 and I would like to install my files which are currently backed up on an external hard drive. My question is where do I put my files in My Documents and what's the procedure to get the Records Window up when I switch on? I kn...

Hello once again I have file with approx 1000 family names somewhere in C: drive. Opening documents library folder shows the Family Historian Projects empty. The Family Historian folder shows 12 folders amongst which are two files which have three green squares joined by a straight line. One file is...

Many thanks for all your replies.I have installed Family Historian onto my laptop with Windows 7. I agree the difficulties from last October are remarkably similar. The instructions did rectify the problem on my desktop. I am now having a similar problem. The programme did previously open up in the ...

Hi Nick
Thanks for your patience. I cannot move from the Project Window. Previously when I switched on I went straight to my records list. I've attached a screen shot. My thanks again.

I now have a short cut on the desktop, many thanks for this information unfortunately the Project Window box still appears. Underneath there's a heading Current Project None, under the F.H. Project it states No Family Historian Projects Found, below there are three smaller boxes New Project, Open Pr...

Thanks for the information. I've managed more by luck than anything to launch Family Historian. I still cannot place a short cut on my desktop. All I manage to get is the three connected green squares and not the FH logo which is what I want. I have placed a tick against Display the Records Window b...

Hello Everyone. When I switch on I'd like to go straight to the screen File, Edit, View etc and select my Individual Records file. Instead I am presented with the Project Window which I don't want. How can I avoid this screen appearing everytime. Also how can I place a short cut on my desktop. Any a...

Hi Nick,
Many, many thanks for your patience. I have followed your instructions and I have managed to get my Family Historian back to the way it should, be including the missing shortcut. Sanity returning, many thanks once again.

Hi Nick
I've successfully carried out your instructions, sigh of relief all round. How can gain access to my records without going through the steps again. How can I get the shortcut back on my desktop. Please forgive my faltering steps.

Hi Nick Thank you for your reply unfortunately I have stumbled at the last stage. I have attached a screen shot showing the message that appears. I have been unable to proceed beyond this point. I have seriously considered unistalling and re installing the program in order to get back to where I was...

Hi Jane
I've attempted to attach a screen shot of the location showing the folders. I hope this will be okay.

Hi Jane,
Thank you for your reply I have followed your instructions
More Tasks button, Project List/Choose Project Location but have been unable to follow the rest Point the location to your Family Historian Project Folder. Sorry to be a nuisance but I'm stuck again. Thanks

Hi Jane I've followed your instructions but have stumbled at the last hurdle. I've reached the 'Browse for Folder' box which lists all C: drive etc. In Program files I've selected Family Historian clicked on this but nothing happens. I'm sorry to be so slow at this. Please send me more information. ...

The short cut on my desktop no longer brings me to my main FH page. Instead I am confronted with the Project Window and behind this a blank F.H. Project window, then there's a 'Please confirm what you wish to do' options are 'Exit' or 'Cancel' How can I get back to my main window which shows all my ...

Hello PeterR,
Many thanks for your guidance and prompt reply. I have successfully carried out the procedure. Thanks once again I'm indebted. Regards Antaeus

Hello Nick
Many thanks for your clear answer and your forbearance with a stumbling newcomer, could I ask just one other question how can I get FH to open directly (after the main FH picture box appears) into the Individuals tab which shows Individual Records, Record ID, Dates window?

Many thanks for all your suggestions. I have tried adding the page number in the Page layout tab etc. Eventually placed all pages of the report in the printer. I opened a blank Word document and used the Page X of Y facility and inserted the sequential page numbers together with the total number of ...

Hi I have just bought FH V4.1.3. Can anyone tell me how I can number each page in the Individual Sumary Report similar to the way in which it can be done in Microsoft Word for example Page 1 of 10, Page 2 of 10 etc. I apologise in advance if this question has already been answered.

Hi Nick, Many thanks for your guidance. I downloaded and installed the FH218_CD-backed_install_218.exe. It worked great and I've just finished loading my files. Initially I thought that I had a serious problem in the registry and began to imagine all sorts of the unimaginable, sanity returning. Many...

I have Windows 7. I've just received this erroe message when trying to install FH 2.3 I know there is an updated version available for FH but currently I cannot upgrade.
My question is there any way round this problem? My thanks in advance.
