When was the last newsletter? I think that I have only ever had one since I joined this group in October 2004. With such a major release of new software I was expecting a newsletter about the new version. Is there going to be a newsletter soon or have they been discontinued?

Thanks for the info. It is sorted now.I just have to get to grips with report writing.

Hi I have a small query concerning the FH Quick start Tutorial book page 33. I am working through the book at the moment. On line 14 of text under the section 'Remove Any Links' the text says: 'Then press OK when warned that ''' The selected tag will be deleted'.' A minor point is that the punctuati...

I was told before I bought FH by the supplier that there is a free utility available from FHUG that I can use to create Adobe files from FH. Where is it? I have looked in the download section. Thanks.
