thanks Mike,

Re points:-

2. I purchased the CD and have license keys stored.
3. Plugins installed themselves into "tools" menu so will have to remember to run.

Many thanks Jonathan.

I have run the two plugins "check and repair media" and the "backup and restore" with backup option on lap top. I will transfer these to my desktop that has a full backup regime of its own using Acronis (also used to backup laptop disk). I do have two media files not found but can fix that later. I ...

Thanks Mike looking good as per picture below. I guess if I tweak NAME:FIRST%: then more of the names would be displayed. That is for another day.

Kind regards Jonathan.

Charles is the spouse.

Thanks Mike,

I have gone for

%CUR~FAMS>MARR.HUSB%
%CUR~FAMS>MARR.WIFE%

Otherwise I get two "his age" and two "her age".

Would be nice to swap husband and wife names for actual names although I can go with the current solution.e.g. Charles age 24.

Perfect.

and her mar event:-

I have a chart displaying age at marriage as not expected and picture below. The expressions I have for marriage are as below and have been cloned from a standard text scheme with no changes:- The cloned expressions are: =ExistsText(%CUR~FAMS>MARR%,"Marr:") %CUR~FAMS>MARR.DATE:COMPACT% in %CUR~FAMS>...

Whoops; doubled up my bap notes now corrected.

Thought I had posted a reply here. Reverted to your expression Mike and now added addresses and notes to baptism and birth events; perfect. =ExistsText(%INDI.BAPM[1+]%,"Bap:") %INDI.BAPM[1+].DATE:COMPACT% in %INDI.BAPM[1+].PLAC%=CombineText(", address: ",%INDI.BAPM[1+].ADDR%,,)=CombineText(", note: ...

Thanks Mike I have reverted to your expression and looking good. I will drop this thread now as I am itching to correct and input more data prior to expanding my research. Many thanks again. Regards Jonathan B. (no Dowsett as my great grandfather was registered at birth solely as a Brooks by his fat...

Okay, what should I use Mike. Attachment is the result I am looking for but do not understand the difference?

Thank you

Thanks Mike works perfectly. I did mean to add the expression but forgot. Here is the latest one I m using with address included:- =ExistsText(%INDI.CENS[1+]%,"Census:") %INDI.CENS[1+].DATE%%INDI.FAMC>CENS.ADDR%=CombineText(", age: ",%INDI.CENS[1+].AGE%,,)=CombineText(", address: ",%INDI.CENS[1+].AD...

Mike I think I am now getting to grips with this. Tried your expression and result as I expected. Age label displayed on chart although census label dropped. Whilst inspecting the chart display noticed that there was no space between two parts of the expression result. On examination of the expressi...

Had another thought regarding backups. On each exit of FH I do full backup and also application (Acronis) OS and data backups. For these custom text schemes do I need to consider other backup schemes?

Mike fantastic, The following expression (please do correct my terminology) worked well and have added the "note2"; all works fine and meets my requirement. =ExistsText(%INDI.CENS[1+]%,"Census:") %INDI.CENS[1+].DATE% in %INDI.CENS[1+].PLAC% %INDI.CENS[1+].AGE% Out of curiosity I was trying to displa...

Meant to add; yes diagram getting big although I got an A1 B&W for £5 from City Print. A0 is approximately £1.50 more. rgds.

I was using queries to understand the syntax of the expressions and still trying. Yes I dropped the all events for the diagram and selected one close to what I was after as you recommended. I have then added my custom items. I am only using custom items in the modify text although cloned the standar...

Hi Mike, I removed "the all events" from the "edit text scheme" in the diagram options. This removed some erroneous data in he diagram and is working fine. I then created events and custom queries for the events "congregation" and "OSOTPoor". These were then in the "edit text scheme" as options to s...

thanks Mike.

Hi Mike, In response to do I understand (from other posts); "yes a bit". Guess I am trying to walk before I can crawl although finding it useful to try stuff with FH. So far it has has met my requirements as I am trying to transfer written info into the program. I am struggling to understand the ove...

Thanks Mike working now for me.

Hi Mike,

I would like to add media files so that I can verify my data on a diagram including linked files.

Thank you Jonathan.

2nd attachment

Hi Mike,

I have attached a screen shot of the diagram that shows the entry "overseer of the porr 1813" although no the text of the entry. The second attachment is an all records view including the text.

Help very much appreciated.

Hi Mike,

There is a media link under Rebecca BD; as per attached.
