I have used the standard query to produce a report on relations and nearest relationship. So far so good. But what would be very useful on this report is a column giving b m and d dates. Just to get an idea of when the names in the report lived. So I have tried to do a custom query with this added i...

Many thanks for the suggestions. I had forgotten that I can alter the words in a sentence for the facts - so thank you for that reminder. Also interesting information about the pictures. Will give it a go.
Thank you for excellent advice - as usual.

I have run a standard query report for a list of ancestors. However I wish to slightly edit it before printing. If I save it as text file or a .rtf I find that I can edit it. However I like the format of the pdf file - especially the way the photos are displayed - as it looks so much more profession...

Right thank you - I am beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel! [About time you might say!]
Anyway I will check all the photos in the media file against the originals.
many thanks for all your patience and explanations.

Thanks for the reply. I am using 4.1 and now I have shortened all my project names. I have looked at the working with external links and some of my files I find that i have changed the name of the file. eg from Bill and Tom.jpg to 1935 Bill and Tom.jpg. So in the external links window I have altered...

I have written before with this problem and thought I had solved it. But I am still having problems with my multimedia jpegs. Some show and some are a blank box with a cross through. Some are just a blank box with no cross through. And what is stranger is that to start with i can see a jpg and then ...

Thank you for that. I have checked a few and it maybe that is the problem. I will look at them all in details.
Many thanks

No the photos are not in the media folder at all. It is empty.
But I have choosen to copy to the default place when I have tried to add a picture.

Thank you for replying. I do open my projects from the file - project window route and the pictures do not show there. When I use the tools external links the photos are not showing there. Just blanks with crosses. The pathway of these blanks is C : project data folder : media : HMS Warrior.jpg. [ju...

I am sorry but I just do not understand why I seem to be adding multi media Ok and it is there in that particular project - but next time I log on the photos are replaced in the focus window with a blank white box. Looking at the records in the multimedia window all the file names for the pictures a...

Thanks for that I was beginning to think about the problem of how to deal with images so that was timely advice. Thank you

I want to use my laptop for working on FH. Currently I have done all my work on the PC. I have recently installed v 4 [ I had a very old v.3 before ] and wonder if it will be enough to copy my files from the PC onto a USB and then open them on the laptop with my new v.4?

Thank you I will give it a go. Glad it is not a huge problem

I had a new PC which used Vista so tranferred my FH onto this machine from my old one which was XP. Now i have a new laptop which has XP. Can i transfer FH back into XP from Vista. I know that when i transferred into Vista there was something about the calico pie files that needed to be handled diff...

Don't know what i have done [ or not done!] but I have been using Gedcom census and Family Historian happily for a long time. However recently i had a new computer and now it seems that when I enter information into Gedcom it does not get automatically passed over to the Family Historian files. I am...

That has done the trick! Many thanks

I am running windows xp I did search on the Microsoft site and they suggested running a download 935448 which I did bu...

Thanks
