Must get my eyes tested, I had not noticed that line of little Icons.

Sorry I wasn't clear, I was wanting to put the output of the Where used Record Links plug in, into a report.

Yes indeed. Can I make into a printed report?

Still battling away with my Sources :? Is there a Report/Plug In, that will tell me if the media in a chosen folder are NOT Sources? I thought I would then be able to use that list to choose the ones I will have as Sources. If this sounds all a bit back to front it is because over time I have added ...

Thanks Mike, worked just as you said would

I have restored a Full Backup and it has given me a "Complete FH (2)" project for the restored folder and data names, because the original in the Project folder. I want to keep the (2) version as the only version. Can I safely rename it and the folder name without the (2), if I delete/rename the ori...

Thanks for help Mike.
I have monopolised your support for far too long, I will go away and try and learn from the Manual and my data.
Thanks Peter

Sorry for being so slow with this.

Each Fact or other items such as a Name or Place or a whole record has a Citation that links it to the Source record.

Can you explore this example a little more for me please, the Citation part seems un-necessary ?

Thanks again but I think the mist has closed in again regarding Text from Source , in fact Sources altogether ! Is there a visual representation of all this? I had thought that Text from Source was part of a Citation which provides the details of a Source and a Source could be attached to a Fact ,an...

Thanks Lorna, I will try that as well.

Thanks, I will slowly digest your comments, 'tis seriously complex! An explanation of the Text from Source variants would help! Yes Text from Source from the Sources For: panel. The attached is an example of what I am faced with. The format of the Census(family) text for this one looks OK to me, but...

Yes I see using the Media Player enables another window to be maintained. I am glad I took a step back. Several of the Census (family) Sources do not have supporting Media, they just have information typed into the Text from Source box, looks like I might have to find another way. Perhaps a Source c...

Thanks, the Restore from a Full Backup did just what you said. I can now scan Project(2) in case any note had been added that was not on the Census. I would like to add that every step you have 'talked' me through confirms my belief that FH is an excellent program, comprehensive, flexible and fast. ...

Just getting back to it, but before I proceed some clarification please. If you want to delete all Census (family) facts whether they have Citations or not then use a different approach. Run the View > Standard Queries > All Events query, sort by Event Type column, then select all the Census (family...

Ah yes, sorry.
Leaving the rest for tomorrow, thanks again so much for all your help

I actually tried that first and got this error !

Thanks, working through the list.
I get this pop up when I try to delete all the Census(family) event records?

Thanks again. Yes you answered the Family link question before, my apologises. I had only deleted one Family link, but now I have this where used set I can see the others to delete. Will I be able to do that in the Result Set window? I don't understand what you are trying to achieve in your first qu...

Great, simple enough for me to have done it in a couple of minutes! I notice it doesn't exclude those Media records that are both Individual as well as Source links, so I will have to careful not to create duplicates. It prompts a couple more questions though :) I see I can open the Properties/Sourc...

Mike thanks for sticking with this for me. Those held in the Photographs folder linked to Individual or Family records. Those held in the Certificates folder linked to Source records. Yes in both cases. The documents folder is a mixed bag, autobiographies, Newspaper clippings, Word and Excel FH Note...

I like to be able to say, one last question, but who knows :) Recap: I am adding Source links to individuals/facts. Is there simple way of determining which of my Media aren't currently a Source ? My Media are divided into Certificates, Documents, and Photographs. Certificates are sub-divided into B...

Thanks Mike, useful tips as always!

Yes I have imported from a couple of GEDCOMS , that would explain it. I have now deleted family and linked it to the individuals. I still haven't found the most convenient way of typing up the source details, keeping the Certificate image open whilst updating the Source record. And, is the only way ...

Thanks Mike.

BTW:
It is generally inadvisable to use Census (family) facts and better to give each spouse their own Census fact like George has.

I didn't know I had so some backtracking needed.

Getting there, the mist is slowly clearing!
Why/what do the

Marr. (George) Census (family)[n]

choices I have here represent?
Thanks
