Hi Mike thanks for your swift reply as always. I've install another military tab and named it military2 as suggested and I've renumbered the regiment reference data 4, 5, & 6 and this seems to be working. The military rank doesn't seem to be a custom item and as he was a private in the guards and a ...

Thanks Mike I now understand about the images and will make sure that FH is only open on one machine at a time. I usually go straight back to FH after saving on AS and as far as I know always accept the update of FH but as my sons keep telling me I suffer from fat finger syndrome so may have decline...

Hi Helen & Mike thanks for your replies. I do have conflicting files but not for the one on 27/1/2016 FH problem 1 Jan 27 2016.JPG Mike you are probably right but I dont understand how the images associated with the lost individuals are still there but not their records.

Hi all Thanks for your many repilies all of which have been very interesting and informative. I think I will abandon trying to get the images easily uploaded from FMP as it is too much hassle for what was a favour for a neighbour albeit enjoyable upto now. I hope that FMP will alter their download g...

Hi All Thanks for your replies but I've had no joy in downloading census images direct to FH. The gedcom just gives me the transcript of the census but what I want is the image of the census that can be attached to narrative reports by default making it easy to export a PDF to my neighbour. I have u...

Thanks Mike and Mervyn I will look at your suggestions and see how I get on.
