Tried the uninstall and re-install and the problem remains!

Have reported back to FH Support to see what else they suggest.

As an update, FH support stated that they had not heard of this issue before...They suggested that I uninstall and re-install FH. Having carried out further tests the issue is NOW only happening when using the internal browser. The results show when using the external browser. I will try the uninsta...

Understood, thanks. However, if I set the FH setting to open the links in the external browser, then the error still occurs with the details posted in my initial post. Nevertheless, I normally have the setting to open within the FH internal browser but as far as I can see there is no way of clearing...

Hi, Thanks for your reply. I have cleared all cookies from all browsers that I use. I have changed default browsers from Firefox to Edge and back again having cleared the browser cookies numerous times. The issue seems to go away for one or two searches from within FH but then on the next (sporadica...

Has anyone ever found a solution to this problem. I have exactly the same issue and have been clearing cookies, resetting and changing browers turning off and on the Internet settings in FH, all to no avail. I have logged a ticket with FH but not sure whether it is an application issue or something ...

Thank you for the very quick and useful reply. It is very much appreciated and works fine for me. Thank you!

Hello, I am trying to see whether it is possible to make an amendment to the auto-generated Descendants report. The order of the report when a couple is married reads something like this: John Smith was born on 12 February 1875 at Somewhere, England He married Eliza Jones on 15 June 1896... It then ...

Thank you for your quick reply and help.

This is a really big step backwards for FH in my opinion. I'm not sure that V7 upgrade has helped me much so far!

Hi, Since upgrading to V7 I have found that when I print reports to PDF, the text is produced as an 'image' on the whole page. Previously in V6, I used a PDF editor to make small changes to text etc after printing it to PDF but now, I am unable to make these edits unless I run a full OCR on the resu...

Hi All,

I have an unmarried couple and when I run the Descendant narrative report it states that 'they had a relationship' within the text. However, if I insert their photos, the photo shows 'Spouse' as opposed to 'Partner'. Is ther any way to change this?

thanks.

Thank you both for your replies. I reset tha Sample project and all is back for me to play with. I hadn't thought about your idea Jane but that too would work for me.

Hi,

When I originally purchased FH, it came with a sample family already installed. I deleted this family as I thought I wouldnt need it. However, I wish to do some testing but dont want to do it on my own family, so I wondered if anyone could send me the Sample Family please.

Thanks

Dave

Thank you Mike.

I have voted for that item in the wish list. The reprts appear useful but, as you say, not exactly what i am after since I am looking for this information to be produced within a narrative.

That may be what I am looking for! Thank you Jane. I will give it a go.

Thank you both for your replies. I was really looking at a more comprehensive system which would use a list of dates of historical items which could in some way be aligned to the dates of specific individuals within my family. So this could involve hundreds of individuals but I could choose which hi...

Having entered all my family into FH I used the descendant’s narrative to produce the relevant 'book'. It all worked perfectly but I wanted to try to add some important historical events to align with individual's existence e.g. 1965 Winston Churchill died when nephew John was born. Is there any way...

Within the Descendant narrative report, if two individual's marriage details were either 'Unknown' or 'Never Married' then there doesn't appear to be a way to enter a date. So, for example, if John Smith had a relationship with Freda Jones and they had a child but were not married, the report would ...

Thank you for the reply - I'm glad there is a workaround but I'll get onto Calico Pie right away

Hello, In the Descendants by Generation Narrative if a couple had a single child, the text in the narrative shows, "..had the following children:". Is there a way to adapt the wording to show "..had the following child:". I am unsure of how to edit or amend the text as it is generated by the Narrati...

Hello, I am trying to put a book together and am using the Media Report to add the various pictures/photos of family members into the back of the book. Using the same pictures, which are linked to the relevant people using the 'Link to Face' option, I then get the full photo plus the thumbnail and r...

Hi, I think that you may have invalid characters in the file name. Here is a list of invalid chararcters that are not supported when syncing to One Drive: The following characters in file names aren't supported when you sync OneDrive for Business: # (number sign) % (percent) < (less than) > (greater...

Thank you Mike!

That fixed it and saved me a ton of time.

I have updated the control panel with the relevant details as requested

many thanks

Hi, I am using Version 6 of FH and in the previous version I was able to make some adjustments to the various settings to allow me to add a Media Report to a Book which showed ONLY the image without the associated 'Title', 'Date', 'Type', 'Format' and 'File' information being printed. I wanted the w...

Thank you Mike, I will give these ideas a go.

It would be good to be able to make some changes to the actual report build (I guess this would be done using the relevant perl code) but in any case your workaround may be the way to go for now.

David

Hello, I am trying to work out how to include "step son" into a narrative descendants report. I'm using version 5 of FH and have created the standard narrative report but instead of saying "John Smith, step son of Brian Smith and Julie Brown..." it shows as "John Smith, son of Brian Smith and Julie ...
