Sorry to be a pain, I'm sure that I've seen this on the forum before, but, I'm obviously searching using the wrong criteria. When you go to add a fact to someone you are presented with a short list of facts then you have to click on 'More Fact types...' to get to the one that you need, I would reall...

Thank you Jane I had a feeling that there was something unusual about upgrading FH but it is such a long time since we had a new version that I couldn't quite remember.

Margaret.

Not sure if I am in the right place for this question, if not apologies. I have the old Discs from Version 2 through to V6, do I need keep them all or is it just necessary for me to keep V6?

Thanks for any advice.

Margaret.

Thank you so much Mike, I've sorted my original database now, I'll make sure that everything is working properly over the next few days then delete the copy.

Margaret.

Hi Mike, you're a dream, thank you so much for that, I've even managed to change the sentence in the Fact Types, I've checked a few entries and they all seem ok, just one little blip, I worked on a copy of my database and deleted the Fact Type which meant that when I returned to my original database...

Hello Mike, oh dear I do make life difficult for me (and you who manages to work out my problems and rescue me), I have 633 Citations in my custom fact, is there an easy way to convert all of them into a Census Fact perhaps keeping the sentence wording which substitutes 'Census' for '1939 Register'?...

Hi Mike, Sorry to be a bother, I've tried what you said and copied the Expression =IsTrue( %INDI.CENS[year=1939].SOUR>TITL% = "1939 Census" ) that you put above, I also tried copying one of my other expressions (%INDI.CENS[year=1861]%), but nothing seems to work I still don't get the Icon under the ...

Hello Mike, Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my query, I've used the Expression INDI.CENS[year=1939] as you suggested and although it seems to be the same as all the other Census Expressions it doesn't appear on the diagram under the box. Any further help would be appreciated, I do se...

I've managed to download the 1939 icon into my folder with the rest of Jane's icons that I use but how do I get it to show with the others under the boxes in my diagram. The census ones appear automatically but the ones for BMD have the Type Birth, Marriage or Death put in the Type box, so do I have...

Thank you Mike, I had a feeling that it wouldn't be straightforward.

After watching the video I've just started using the Witness 'fact' (found on the little cog wheel) which I'm finding a great timesaver, however some of the names which I've added as not being on the database actually do turn out to be relatives when I've done further research therefore they will be...

I only have a few pairs of twins and as they aren't in the direct line I don't have BMD certificates for them just the quarter dates, so the Flag is perfect for me. I like to have something visual on the charts so I have Jane's icons for the Census years and BMD for where I have certificates, this m...

Bingo! Thank you very much Mike.

Margaret.

Thank you Jane & Mike, I've managed to find the Twin icon which is in the Icon folder but I'm stumped as to how to transfer that to my diagram, I don't want to find sets of twins I just want to attach the little icon to the box and have 'Twin' entered on the All Tab of the Property Box. I'm sure tha...

I seem to be having a very senior moment as I'm sure that I've done this before. I want to put Jane's Twin Icon on a diagram, I've tried downloading it but all I seem to have under Calico Pie are the Tutorial files and I thought that there was a place to put the downloaded Icons. I also can't see ho...

Thank you Tatewise I've voted. I also managed to re-orientate my picture within windows using 'Open with Windows Live Photo Gallery', so I'm happy now particularly as I didn't want to download yet another programme that I would probably never use again!

Thanks again.

Margaret.

Thank you Tatewise, I still don't understand why it is just this one photo, all the others that have been taken by either my camera or iPad have all turned out correctly, but, thanks for your help.

Margaret.

Thank you Peter, but my photo is the correct orientation every where but in FH, none of my other photos have suddenly turned themselves sideways and there doesn't seem to be anything in FH to re-orientate it. I can re-orientate it in the photo album on my lap-top but then it is sideways there which ...

I'm sure that there must be a simple explanation to correct this, but I can't see how to do it. I have just added a photo to my album and then tried to add it to my FH file, the photo is the correct way up until I open it in the media tab then it is on it's side, I don't understand why it has sudden...

I didn't even notice them until my laptop started making awful noises, so now I've had a lovely time smashing them all! Sorry Jane.

Margaret.

I've just renewed mine using the link provided in the news letter and it all went through in a matter of moments.

Margaret.

Thank you William, that thread made interesting reading, FH is so versatile I've only just scratched the surface and I'm sure that I don't make use of half the features.

Margaret.

Thank you Mike, that worked beautifully.

Margaret.

At the moment I have my diagram set up to show the above icons under the boxes, I don't want them to show for this particular diagram, but, I don't want to lose the conditions incase I want to use them again. If I go into each one and untick the icon box in 'Edit Features' will this preserve the con...

Thank you very much Mike, that worked beautifully, I am now one happy bunny.
