Jane - I think I have just uploaded a copy - if it works. O r is there some other way of doing it? Jeremy

If you refer to my earlier message with the same subject, starting 19 May 2006, I was trying to show the christening date if no birth date, and buried date if no date of death. This worked at the time, but not any more, I am now getting all four dates, if available - is it because of the upgrade? In...

I am using V3, having upgraded from 2.3?? as soon as the upgrade was available. I have just changed my computer and I cannot find my disk for the original installation, and therefore my upgrade disk will not work.

Can you help, please.

Wrong place, and I have now found the answer in a FAQ! Sorry.

I have some census entries I wish to enter using Nick's programme, but in some cases there are people who seem to be related, but I haven't got them on my database yet. I can enter those I already know, but how do I get back to the input form to enter the other people when I have traced them and ent...

If you look at the query dated 24/5/06 started by me, and headed 'Diagram Text' I think this will give you the answer - assuming you are using Version 3 - it certainly works for me.

Jeremy

Jane - many thanks, that worked fine. I took all instances of [1+] out of the text, and I have now got what I wanted.

Thanks again, Jeremy

I am trying to get the christening date shown in a box, but only when there is no birth date. I have ticked the 'only output if previous line blank' but this does not seem to do what it says i.e. I get both birth AND christening if I have both. I also want to do the same for death & burial Please ad...

Thanks Jane - again!

When I use the Census text box in diagrams, some of them are listed out of order. Could this be caused by the order in which I researched, and loaded, the censuses? If so, how do I get round this?

Jeremy

ALSO, can you remind me how to send an e-mail to the FH forum. Thanks

Many thanks, that worked fine,

Jeremy

Is there a way to list individuals linked to a particular address? I have come across an address I know I have seen before, but I can't find out where it is!

problem solved if you click on the date tab within events! instead of re-ordering under the tools menu item.

Jeremy

I note that, when sorting events into date order, any that are 'cal' or show the quarter plus year, are shown at the end of the list. Presumably this is intended, but I would have thought it better to show these in the correct date order - is there any way I can achieve this, as I don't have exact d...

Easy when you know how! Many thanks,

Jeremy

Somehow I seem to have achieved a situation where the second wife appears on the first tab in the 'Main' properties - how can I get them into the correct order? A 're-order out of sequence data ' attempt does not affect them. This is a repeat as the first post was lost in the corruption. Jeremy ID:1...

Somehow I have entered two wives in the wrong order so that the tabs show the second wife first - how do I correct this?

When ever I go to edit the text boxes within a diagram, the box bottom left ALWAYS defaults to 'save as default'. Normally I do not want to change the default if I am just exploring different presentations - is it possible to have the default NOT to 'save as default' so that I am not caught out? Jer...

Thanks for that Jane - I am glad it was so easy! I am finding it useful when looking at Census entries where you don't know the wife's maiden name.

Jeremy

Has anyone felt the need for a query along the lines of 'Do I have a John married to a Sarah' - if so, could I have a copy, please.

Jeremy

I have realised that I added citations for fathers occupation at time of marriage - hence more than one!

Thanks, Jeremy

Why do the citations to Marriage certificates as the source sometimes show as two citations, and sometimes as one?

I have now solved my problem, and if anyone wants to know how, please e-mail me and I will let you know.

Jeremy

I am in the process of testing that approach, and it does seem promising. I will let you know if it works exactly as I want it to!

In Info Select I gather all my random pieces of information in any format, newspaper extracts, biographies, anything that carries the name HILLS just in case there is a connection, and I can do a search on ANY combination of words, letters, dates etc - it is very powerful and useful - I have found l...
