Joking aside, it's a brilliant piece of kit. Thanks for all your time and work spent on it.

Nick

You mean it's not fully auto. [cry]

Is it planned for a later release ? [rolleyes]

Nick,

Using Win7.

I snap AS to the left of my screen and the image to the right but nothing happens. AS just sits there and is not reading the image and entering the necesary details in to the boxes. For some unknown reason I have to do it manually, it's very wearing on the fingers. [wink]

When I set the Relationship to Root in the Individual Records I need the relationship to appear in the diagram.

Pushing my luck here. [wink]

How do I get the same to appear in reports ?

Nick. Just to cut down on mouse clicks. (Plus I'm lazy) [rolleyes] and clarity. Auto Text. Please can you add a line space between Name,Relation,Married?,Sex,....... and the first entry. Eg; Name,Relation,Married?,Sex,Age,Occupation,Employ Status,At home,Born,Infirmity Joseph Henry Bye,Head,S,M,17,F...

In that case Peters suggestion was the correct one.

Thanks again.

Jane said: Note that one gives the relationship to the fileroot and not the diagram root. use =Relationship(Root(),%INDI%,TEXT,1) For the diagram root, remember you can always 'pinch' the code from one of tha standard text schemes. Thanks Jane. When I set the Relationship to Root in the Individual ...

PeterR said:
My Text Scheme includes the following line:=Relationship(FileRoot(),%INDI%,TEXT,1)

Thanks Peter.

How do I get the Relationship to Root appear in diagrams boxes. [confused][frown]

No kidding. Names changed for example. Joe Bloggs deserted from the Royal Navy and changed his name to Joe Smith. His service records show his real fathers name, Bert Bloggs. Four years later he married Jane Doe, on the certificate the fathers name is Stan Smith. For the rest of his life he used Smi...

The ISP for the site you are uploading to may not allow spaces or other charactors such as *&^%$£'!)( in the file name. You should get some sort of error message when uploading telling you the file has not been uploaded.

I use Gedmill v1.11.0 with Win7 (32bit) and FH V4.0.2.

Can you open the exported file using Family Historian ?

Have you tried uninstalling / reinstalling Gedmill ?

Hi, Rickoshea.

I'm afraid you're going to have to provide some specifics if you truly want assistance; asking for data on one entire surname in a whole country is a bit too much for anyone to be able to provide, unfortunately.

Unless he's a Whapham GOONS [wink]

Is there a limit to the number of characters in a file name in v4. I want to include the full names and dates for image files. Eg. MC - Smith Cecil Thomas and Fairweather Jean Samantha (1995).

TIA

PeterR said: If you start a diagram directly from the record for your great (x2) grandfather that shows his death date, do you have the same problem? That was one of the tests. It happened if I went back a generation, have diagram set to 2 generations, one of the boxes didn't show all the info. And...

Further tests proved same thing happening with other parts of the tree diagram.

Have reloaded FH.

Box displays Birth and Baptism, his wife's box is twice the size with Birth, Bap, Marriage, Death information all displayed. Both have flags set but only for the records described above.

Have restarted program.

My 2x Great Grandfather's death date shows in the Individaul page and in the Property Box but NOT in a diagram starting with his Parents and children. All other dates are ok and all the death dates for his siblings are displayed.

Any idea's [confused]

Hi Jan,

Thanks for your offer.

Waiting on delivery of 2 Wills from the late 1500's, I expect they will be in Latin. If they are decipherable and in Latin will scan and send.

Steve

Have a look at CutePDF Writer.
