Hello and Seasons Greetings to all FHUG users, I have decided to keep my V6 ruled off project on one computer and will instal full V7 on another laptop for the time being. I have backed up locally and remotely my database on V6. I downloaded the Backup Restore Settings plugin on V6 laptop and run it...

Thanks CVG,

I put a Birth Certificate through the DEA and it worked, I could see and reach the OK button in the bottom LH corner!!
So, it looks like I chose the wrong type of Certificate to do my first test, doh!

As ever, many thanks for all of your replies. The plugin downloaded and I then selected it from the DEA option, so I am using the Marriage DEA. Yes, Mark, CP may have put something in to guard against full usage....but as CVG has mentioned, I must be using it. CVG, I have tried maximising, dragging ...

Capture d’écran 2020-12-20 191327.jpg I thought that I would try the new FH7 Source / Citation option in the trial version. I took a Marriage Cert and opened a Source, entered the details and then opened the DEA for Marriage. I then filled in the info as seen on the captured image. However, I canno...

Genius Mike.....does the job spot on, I'm well pleased. I have now remove all flags on the main data sources. Will still use flags for Will and Twins etc. A question......what is the best way of getting up to speed on the Expression facility....Manual, Online trial and error. Do you have to learn a ...

Ok Mike, Five of the six work fine thank you very much, it's now down to the best way of interpreting the Birth Record. I am thinking of designing a query on Birth date to show all the individuals without a proper date and possible attached source. But how do I design it so that Estimate Census year...

Thanks again Mike, I actually found the ContainsText string but still had the other string with it, so I either had all BC showing on all persons or none at all!!! First three worked a treat....... For the Birth record, I think I may have got it wrong.....if we use the Birth date target field and in...

Thanks Mike, great info. OK I never though I'd start to understand Expressions, but I am taking small steps forward, thank you. It looks a very powerful part of the program. I recognise a bit from the Query option, is that right? I have Birth Record, Marriage Record and Death Record.....I would be h...

OK I have managed with your help to Remove the Flags for all the Census entries via the Named Lists and Record Flags option and also from the Diagram boxes, the Expressions seem to be working in their place.

Oh I forgot, Headstone is burial of course and I use the Twin and Will icons.

WW1, Emigrated, More work to required (perhaps I can change this to Research Notes in FH7), Adopted, Living and Private, I tend to use colours or different borders.

Hope this helps

Hello Mike and Nick, Thanks for your help much appreciated. OK I have created the Expressions for each Census 1841 to 1939 and as you correctly said I now have duplicates. On your other question re Source attached to show, I know why you have asked this question. However, if I have a BMD online entr...

I think I have attached a list of ùy Record Flags.....I hope!! It's the main ones, I suppose I need to convert the following?

All the Census options
Bir Cert
Bap Rec
Bir Rec
Death Cert
Death Rec
Headstone = Burial
Marriage Rec
Marriage Cert

Hi Nick,

The link doesn't work I'm afraid, but I think I have already viewed the file that you are trying to show me.

Thanks

I suppose ideally we'll need a page we can point AS users at which explains what to do if they've used flags so fa...

Thanks for the input Helen, Like I said in a previous mail, I really want to use what you have produced, but I would like to use the feature properly and know what I am doing with the data, hence less possible backtracking in the future. A tutorial would be great....I have used AS extensively and am...

Hi Adrian, What you said almost reinforces my point...........When a new feature is included in an update it has probably come from a pre-existing user wish list. The new Source / Citation option is probably very good in what it intends to achieve (and I would really like to use it!). But if users a...

There is one thing I can say about this site and the people who use it............they are ALL passionate about improving the the way the programs work. Streamlining the input of the information whilst making it as accurate and error free as possible for me is the key. Followed very quickly by how w...

Hello all, I am an average user of FH, I have used it since version 3. I have been watching this site over the last few days with great interest......as yet, I haven't taken the plunge to v7 or AS7. I have always been an avid upgrader, but something is stopping me from paying the fee pressing the bu...

Thanks Mike,

I have re-input the Export Folder and it is working. It's been a little while since I used the facility, a bit rusty!!
Now I just need to re-hone the file transfer process.

Great service again!!

Thanks,

PP

Hello, After 12 months, I decided to upgrade my TNG website with a new Gedcom etc. Last time, the export TNG settings worked very well through Mike T's Export Gedcom plug-in 3.7. I have upgraded to 3.9 today and have kept my TNG settings from last time. I go to run plugin 3.9 and it sends me to the ...

Hello again,

I was just wondering if any of you beta testing Version 7 had any feedback on it.

I am sure a lot of us are dying to know how it's all panning out!

Cheers
PP

Thanks Mike,

I am trialling a few image editing products and before I make a decision I will be trying Irfan. I'm all for saving a bit of cash!

Thanks for your help.

Evening Mike and Valkrider, Thanks for coming back to me. Mike....I did go through the tutorial etc adding media and eventually jpeg and pdfs etc (IRfan springs to mind), but like I mentioned in my mail, it didn't seem to fit what I wanted to do and follow the process that I had always been doing si...

Sorry to be a pain..... But I have spent the afternoon looking on this forum for an answer to my subject title....there are a few other similar threads, but I cannot seem to find the answer yea or neigh. I put all my media (generally written and not photos) in the system and then link them to a Sour...

Thanks Mike, I will go through what you have advised. So just to confirm.....when I add a jpeg of a say, Baptism to AS and complete the process, it produces a media file of the Baptism and links it to a New Source record of the Baptism for the individual. I think I have many of these generated throu...
