I do have loads of Baptism Records that have address, Occupation and date of birth details. Plus a few Private Baptisms. I'd rather not have to go back to enter this information.

Nick Walker said: I don't suppose you can work out the sequence of steps required to repeat this error? I've had a handful of reports of this sort of error but haven't been able to find the cause yet. Nick, This time it happened I was entering the address by finger. Entered a couple of characters a...

Keep getting the above error message. Happened this time as I entering the address.

Please don't limit the number of witnesses, I have instances of 3 and 4 to a marriage in Parish Records.

Probably more women are [smile]

Have you tried Nick Walker's excellent program Ancestral Sources for entering Census details. It's free and avaliable from the FHUG Home Page, (Right-hand side of page).

It removes all the hard work and is a doddle to use.

I've had a few people who's name on the Birth Certificate differs from the name in the Baptism entry. Also have one person, see below, who used a different middle name on their Marriage Certificate. Birth Cert - Lily Florence Baptized - Lillie Elizabeth Marriage - Lily Sophia Two Census entries, one...

Thanks for your replies.I think I'll take a bit from each of your posts. My 2x Great Grandfathers had a thing about appearing at the Bailey. I've got another 2 who were witnesses in different cases. All around the first half of the 19th centuary. And to cap it all I did one of my Jury services there...

One of my 2x Great Grandfathers was a criminal. I want to show the details in Reports. How would you build the event/attribute. The infomation I have is; The date of crime. The date of trial. The crime and trail procedings. The names of the people affected by the crime. The length of prison sentence...

Thanks for your reply. I think I'll take your second option and live with the output.

Nick, Made my first entry under Infirmity and have an issue with the output in reports. The sentence doesn't scan. He was described as Water on Brain from birth. Taken it further, He was described as Deaf and Dumb or He was described as Lunatic. Wouldn't it be better just to use 'Infirmity Recorded:...

Spot on.

Go Nick Go Nick Go Nick.

Your program is a delight to use.

As I said I'm not overly worried about it as it's so very occasional just wondered if others had come across it.

Yes it's pointing to my Project file. As I said it's very occasionaly. To fix I click on the X and fire up FH again. Always works second time round. The backup folder is in an entirely different location not related to my Project folder. Startup - C:UsersSteveFamily Historian ProjectsNewtreeNewtree....

Every so often I get the above error message when opening FH. All I do is click on the FH icon and up pops the message.

No great problem but any ideas on whats going wrong.

What catches me out is when I move the box down to the bottom, nearly off the screen.

Go to - Tools > Prefernce > Property Box and change setting for Record Window to Docked.

Highlighted area is the image location and file name.

(Tony, your appearance check is in the post [smile])

Individual Records. Under Individual check 'Multimedia Obeject > File' points to the location for the image and the image file name is correct.
