I am once again trying to enter associated people - and have forgotten how best to do this. These people are employees and collaborators. Women secretaries and so on. Is there any assistance with this in fh7? For instance if two people co-author a play or book. Many people escaped Nazi Germany becau...

Mike, that is very odd. It is now working for me. It launches the project in which the chosen person appears, and in which I set the plug in. I didnt know this plug in existed till I read this thread. But I am going to remove it as I can see with my incompetence, I may get one project open twice. I ...

I down loaded the one you just posted on this thread and it gave me an error message Mike.
I havent used that plug in before. Was just exploring and curious.

Is there a Time Out on this site. I wrote a long reply and it vanished. The gist is that one cant enter new data in a miniaturised pane. So I am doing as you suggested but leaving it open in usable size. I need to enter data (street address) for every citation. Copied and pasted from the place field...

I too was going crazy with it. However I too go through censuses and lists. I decided I coudnt let version 7 delay my work so I ploughed straight on. I still keep my source pane in a horizontal row to the right of the property box. I had an existing source for the particular census and gave it a wor...

I should stop coming to this Forum. What is a DEA?

Thank you. That works now.
But I dont really understand the purpose of that More step and why plug ins visible on my Plug in list in V 7 are not on the menu?
I thought that list was the Menu.

Thank you so much for updating this to V7 Mike. This is probably me forgetting, but the update still reminds one that one can open it using Alt T Q and that is no longer working for me. "Quick family details popup snapshot can be invoked with Alt T Q" Alt T now goes to how related. Followed by Alt P...

I tested it. Very beautiful Mike, Thank you. Someone posted this morning about setting special keys to enter a Census date. To save time, I have often used year only dates for census and then used your plug to search and replace to enter a full census date. Confirming each time Today it worked very ...

I would like some more information on this. Please. Is there an auto hot key facility in fh 7? Or does this apply only to AS? I have searched fh 7 help and not found it. I dont use AS but I work a good deal on censuses from 1939. To differentiate the German 1939 census from the UK 1939 Register, I h...

Lorna, Thank you. I didnt know one could customise the source and citation windows. Will do that tomorrow.

Lorna If I add a new source I get a clear pane in which to type words. If I choose an existing source There is overlap within the Pane. The source record at the top is part concealed by the pane for Citation specific details. The pane is not set tall enough top to bottom, But one can adjust it. And ...

Thank you both. I feel very stupid, but thank you.

I delayed asking this to give Mike a rest on Sunday. But seeing his replies. Where are Calico Pie (or user group) instructions for upgrading from V6 to V7? I work with multiple Projects and havent yet opened them all in V7 so I got up this morning resolved to read the Calico Pie instructions for the...

I said I had no problem but I too had it come up today.

I have solved it by de activating the hints from My Heritage for all projects. I found I was spending a lot of time, since the upgrade, looking at hints and decided instead to check events where I had no source.

May be not worth bothering with this now? It isnt essential, if you are busy. I have regressed to total beginner. I can customis Property Box and configure for name [2] but nothing shows as there is no Name[2] In Version 6 the second name that showed there for a woman, was her married name. So I con...

Thank you Mike.

I may have forgotten how to do this. But with apologies, I could do with some help please. In fh 6 I had an extra Name field (custom added) at the top of the property box which showed any second name entered. For women this was their married name. For emigrants any new name taken when German names w...

Thank you Lorna.
Can one design a data entry form of one's own by adding fields? I seem to remember you doing that once?

Please could someone explain Source led data entry? I use fh for historical research which has involved transcribing the names from lists, e.g. army lists and deportations. In fh 6 I used to paste the source, e,g, a University staff list, into the automatic source panel and then add an unrelated per...

I too think fh 7 is slower to load. The screen opens quickly but then the fh software pane stays open for 5 or 6 seconds before vanishing. I have 4 different large research projects for 4 different towns and I used to chop and change between them. Version 7 has also lost the speed of data entry. It ...

They work as normal for me using Google chrome.
Did you check that the links are enabled in the Internet settings shown in the top white margin?
I do not pay a sub to My Heritage.

I had no problems yesterday but do today. I assume the same as you? I cant reach the Plug in Store via the Tools menu in fh7. I havent a clue what I am doing. One problem for me is that the target site is nowhere named in the error message as belonging to fh. "You need to contact the server owner or...

Helen, that is fine. But you have no idea how confusing fh seems to new users. And to some old ones like me too. The whole idea was to stick to gedcom and be a new invention for genealogy software. Which it was. You would think that after version 7 it would provide replicas of what most people are u...

It could be that what you are looking for is the Descendants report which I have relied on in all other software. An expert on fh (almost certainly Mike) must have written me a custom report. I have it saved as a Custom Report called Journal Descendants Detail . I have no idea why fh never included ...
