Hi, I have been having a look at the TMG import and checked my finding in V5 with what has been delivered in V6.0.1. To be be honest I wasn't expecting them to be fixed for this release but I checked them anyway. Most are have not been fixed, one is a great improvement, another has a partial fix and...

HI, I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere on this forum but a new version of FH is available on the web site. It doesn't come up if you hit "check for upgrade on the software. The only reason I know about is because a message was posted to a TMG forum. It purports to fix the problem where the program...

I am trying to get V6 trial version running whilst I awaiting my V6 registration key from Calico, (I purchased the full version of FH in late October so the upgrade should be free according to the web site!!) I have download and installed V6, (twice), but each time I go to run it I get "Your current...

@Mike,

Thanks, that's fixed it.

I could see that I had blank _CAPT fields on the records with Notes, presumably caused by the original runs that tried to populate the field with "Y" instead of "YES".

Hi, I am trying to write a Plugin that runs through the Multimedia Objects, checks if there is a Note in the "unlabelled Note" field and if there is create a "Use Note as Caption" Field and populate it with a "Y". I have added a counter to see how many Multimedia objects have notes and this gives a ...

@Mike, I was going to wait for V6 and I have already been reported this to Calico Pie but I was assuming that its not going to be high on their priority list given all the stuff coming out in the new release. I was thinking that I could use the Notes as Captions to photographs in reports etc by tick...

I am bursting to start using FH fully particularly with the new witness and mapping functionality that has been promised in V6 but at the moment there is too much data missing from the TMG direct import. One of the biggest missings for me is the Caption/Description from Exhibits. As a work around I ...

Hi, I am looking to transfer from TMG to FH and having been testing the import for data completeness and I'm now looking at the functionality. I have been through the FH book but can't remember seeing a way to do the following:- I want to be able to highlight, (or change the colour of the text), in ...
