I have deleted all flags and icons to do with America and started from scratch. It works ...... thanks so much for your help everyone.

[smile]

Thanks for trying to help Tatewise, I have done all that, which I have always done in the past, but for some reason, it just wont work. Have even downloaded a new set of icons into my project folder but it just cant see them. As far as I can tell my other icons/flags work okay. Will keep trying, tha...

Thanks Tatewise, I have made the flag/icon in diagrams as you say, as I always do, but for some reason, and I am doing everything as I usually do (so far as I can remember) but nothing is happening. Getting a bit disheartened now but it must be something just so simple I am missing.

Sorry Jane I have made a new query, deleted the old flag and made a new flag with exactly the same name as the query. Is that what you mean? Think I am missing something here as it still wont work. There are only three people with this flag, individuals in the 1910 USA census.

After running a query to find people in censuses or anything else, the people come up in the query but when I set the flag to add the icon it doesnt show on the diagram. As far as I know I am doing everything correctly (I have got many icons on my diagram)but just lately I cant get it to show for so...

Just been on My History Web Site, it says Version 5 is released Monday 26th March 2012.

Thanks for that Nick, I have sorted it now.

Please could anyone tell me how to add a child to a person, before they married which is nothing to do with their husband. Keep getting a bit mixed up, I cant seem to think how to do it at the moment.

Thank you for any help

A big thanks to everyone on here and very best wishes for Christmas and the New Year. I am sure 2012 will be a good one for Family Historian and Ancestral Sources, look forward to it.

I think I`ve done it, thank you so much everyone!

Have a lovely Christmas

Hi, sorry about this but I have managed to make some types of query so I can sort of do this, but I just dont know where to start with this one, should I be looking for generation or ancestor etc., in the fields, so that I can get to the expression that you mention. I am thinking that maybe I will h...

Tatewise, thanks for that, I did originally try that but as you say a bit tedious, I have so many custom queries, thanks anyway.

Thanks for that Jane, found them!![smile]

Marilyn

Please can anyone tell me where the custom queries are saved to, I am wanting to back them up on another computer but can only find the standard queries.
Thank you

Thanks Jane, just what I wanted

[smile]

Thank you Nick, this has helped a lot, I have got a list of censuses plus addresses, which is just how I wanted it,
but not occupations at the time, is there a way to do this.

I have managed to create a census tab on the property box with census date, occupation and residence, but this only gives the first census date for which they were alive, if I add census again to this tab it just repeats the same census details. Please can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong. Any h...

Hi, please can anyone advise me as I cant get my head round queries (although new years resolution is to try harder!!). I am trying to do a query to list all occupations off an individual through censuses 1841 to 1911, I have done one for occupations but it only gives one. This is probably quite eas...

Thanks Jane, easy when you know how!!![oops]

I am trying to do a query to list all individuals whose death or burial date comes less than 21 years after the birth or baptism date. I am wanting to find all these individuals so I can put in the age at death. Is there a way to do this other than going through each individual separately, any help ...

Thanks for all your help Bilko but I am getting totally confused with the whole query business. I have decided to give it a rest for a while, then maybe it will get easier and come to me in a flash. I will revert back to your instructions in a week or so. Thanks again

Marilyn

Sorry I seem to be having problems at the 'enter the expression stage' it wont accept saying its not valid.

Bilko, thanks for taking the time to write out all that, I will work my way through it, thanks again. Jane, is this an easier way of doing it, dont mean to sound thick but I get so mixed up with it.

I am trying to maybe set a flag on all the people in a diagram who I cant find in a census. I think I should make a query on this if it can be done, but please can some kind person talk me through this as I am learning all you can do with Family Historian but am struggling with making a new query. I...

Thanks so much for your help Peter, done it at last. Thanks again
