Queries

Thank you so much Jane and Peter for your help.

Queries are so useful and powerful and solutions such as those made available for upload help in my understanding of how they work. Still a lot of learning to go though.

Thanks again

Query

Thanks again.

The query works but what I wanted to do was to use the output to add a flag to the individuals in diagrams.

Unfortunately it appears that flags cannot be added using 'Set flag on result set records' using the queries you suggest.

I stll cannot get it to work.

showing name prefix, suffix, and nickname

How can I get the 'alternate name' to show in the main tab.

By using %INDI.NAME.NICK% I can get the Nickname to show cannot seem to find the data reference for alternate name.

Comparing and merging records

Thanks for the prompt reply Jane.

I believe I need some sort of query to pass the information to the split tree helper?

I can't think how to do this. LastUpdated() would do this if I could isolate records which were changed on a specific date.

Hi Jane, I am looking at exactly the same as you. But my thumbnail pictures only have the Title I have given them beneath the photo and not the age. I used to see the age but it no longer appears. The age does appear correctly in the column in the pane above the thumbnails but not within the blue bo...

Age on pictures

In the Property box for individuals where I have linked a picture I used to see in the title (provided I put a date to the picture) the age of the individual in years. This seems to have dissapeared and I now just get the Title. Is there a way of having the age shown along with the title?

You say there are no Deaths in IGI.
