Having just had a quick play it appears that you cannot get the ID into a diagram. What you can do is use the Custom ID.

Thinking about it you may not be wise using the auto generated ID as it is possible to renumber the records and then any cross referencing could be of little value.

Does anyone know if serving members of the army appeared on any of the currently available census?

I am looking to find someone on the 1881 and/or 1891 census. I know that he was definately alive in 1882 but I cannot find him on the 1881 census.

I have noticed that when I go into a diagram the top of the box is 'clipped' by which I mean that the text is pushed up to the top and almost unreadable. I can resore this by clicking on the '+' zoom a couple of times.

Is there a setting that I may have inadvertantly changed or is this a bug?

Yup!!!!

Yes - been there, tried that one.

Any more suggestions anyone?

Not sure if I should post this here - but I will give it a go. I have the following information for my Great Grandmother: Census    3 Apr 1881 age 23 born in Barnsley Marriage 17 Sep 1882 age 27 Census    5 Apr 1891 age 32 born in Stockport Census   31 Mar 1901 age 45 born in Barnsley Died     26 Au...

Sorry to bother you again Jane but there is still a small problem with the logo on the Grey Base.

Thanks Jane - Grey Base is back [smile] - just one (very) minor point the logo at the top is missing [frown]
Hopefully, when you get a couple of minutes, you can fix it. Good work.

Yes they are there noe - but I did prefer the other theme!!!!

Sorry but I cannot even see Mailing List in the menu.

All I have in the Main Menu is: Home, Articles, Forums, Links, Downloads, Top 10, Palm Pilot.

Where has the 'Wish List' gone?

ID:190

Would it be possible to include, at some point, the ability to calculate the date of birth from the data entered. By that I mean that if I have a person's age on a Marriage certificate and also on one or more census then could FH calculate the eariest and latest dates when that person could have bee...

I am still relativley new to FH so please forgive me if this has been asked before, or is on the 'Wish List' Where there is a report that references a piece of source data is there any way that the source can be printed once with the same reference number rather that printing the same source data se...

I noticed last night that LDS have a Cd of the British 1851 Census available from thier site. I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with this data. Is it complete? Is it easy to find details within the CD? Is it worth getting? The reason I ask is that although it only costs $6 to buy ther...

Is there a way to have the date on a diagram apart from manually entering it as one of the titles?

I have tried '=date()' as one of the titles but that did not work.

ID:181

Sorry but I had not found the previous posts. I have downloaded PDF995, created a .pdf file and taken it along to my local Prontoprint shop who printed it off for me there and then. The more I use FH and find the features in it the more impressed I get with it each day. I do, however, seem to have a...

This is really a two part question.

Part 1 : Is it possible to output a diagram to a file?

Part 2 : Does anyone know of a service that will print the diagram file (assuming that it can be output) onto one (large) sheet?

What suggestion do you have for the useage of the Occupation in the Properties input form. Should it be the last known occupation? or the first known occupation? or is there some other idea?

Thanks. I am getting the hang of queries. Never realised the power in FH.[smile]

Thanks - I had not tried using queries before.

Not being too familiar with queries can you give me a quick guide on how to select individuals - I can get at the attributes no problem.

I have been searching through this forum but I do not seem to be able to find any mention of my problem. What I would like to be able to do is to export, for selected names, selected data. By export I mean that I would like to create a file that can be read by Word or Excel. Does anyone know if this...
