What no one has mentioned so far (unless I missed it :D ), is that when you display your places on the map, and find a marker is wrongly geo-coded and so in wrong position, you can easily correct it yourself 1. By clicking the move marker icon, and dragging the actual marker to the correct place. 2....

Yes.
Went back to 1 column once I set the buddy on 2nd column

So the Result Set had two columns: one faint plain text without ... of and one bold link with the ... of prefix. That is very strange, so as you say, keep an eye on it :shock: No! The first (Text) column is now normal (i.e not feint) but without the ...of , but the second (buddy) column does not ap...

I had both those expressions in that order, with 2nd one set to buddy. Expession stayed the same, but It reverted to normal overnight

Something buggy seems to be going on with FH! I modified this query as Miketate suggested (Thanks Mike), to include the ‘buddy’ status, then ‘updated’ the query, which worked well for the remainder of yesterday’s session. When I opened FH this morning, the query had reverted to a non-buddy status, a...

It is now faint because it is just text and not a clickable record link as it was originally. To remove the ... of and allow it to be bold and clickable this is what you do. The first Column has the new MidText(...) function: =MidText(Record(TextToNumber(GetLabelledText(%INDI.EVEN-GEDMATCH.NOTE2%,"...

Thanks Adrian, that works, albeit the text is now Feint!! (but usable)

Still leaves me the question of how it got there in first place

I am trying to tweek Jane's Gedmatch query, to amend the text shown for the Shared Couple. The Shared Couple column uses the expression =Record(TextToNumber(GetLabelledText(%INDI.EVEN-GEDMATCH.NOTE2%,"Shared Couple:")),"F"), and the resulting display is ...of Fred Bloggs and Jean Smith I'd like to r...

CP accepts there is an error, and will fix it on next update

Agreed, Mike L. Will you report it or shall i?

Oh well, if you insist

Ticket 114495 has been created

Helen, good point.
I have never had to consider ‘Rich Text’ special characters before, and as far as I was concerned Jane’s query was just extracting my plain text. One for CP perhaps?

Try using the \ escape character. Where exactly is your <1% text? Which field is it in and where are you displaying it? Diagrams, Reports, etc? You know all those details but we don't so are guessing a workaround. Why are you mentioning LUA? That only applies to Plugins. Thanks Mike, \ worked a treat

I’m not complaining, but why did CP feel the need to introduce another Language? What is wrong with wrinting plugins in C++? I would suggest that C++ has a greater userbase than LUA

Mike, Jane’s query that accompanies this fact, extracts the text and displays it in the resultset table! When I use the <, nothing displays. I’ll try the \ escape character when I’m back on my PC. ( I was using the extra < as an escape, but obviously it didn’t work :lol: ) NB. I only mentioened LUA ...

I am using Janes Gedmatch fact, and want to show %age as reported by Ancestry This works fine for 'Normal' %ages, but entering less than 1% as <1% won't work, as the < is treated as an ignore symbol i.e, Using <1% 24cM 2 Segs , fails to show anything. I know it is to do with way LUA treats text, but...

I think you're referring to the option to show spouses of the filtered surname. e.g. enter Smith into the filter box, you are presented with all individuals named Smith If you click the Options... box to the right, and select Include Husbands' Surnames , the list will change to include anyone marrie...

If you decide on using a flag, you can simplify its use by having it shown on the property box, as shown in attached Image, there you can set/reset the flag with a click of the mouse button. proprty Box.jpg You can see I have two flags in my property box 1939 Missing and Missing Baptism , and I can ...

I agree, it is a shame, but then most software developers fall into the same trap, if you upgrade via their own update mechanism. They tend to store the download into a temporary directory, which is often deleted after the upgrade has finished. What I tend to do, is go to their website and download ...

Check you are using correct printer driver for your particular model of printer, and not a Microsoft supplied one. Go to your peinter makers website and download and install the latest driver for your model. I recently had some weird effects when printing after updating to Windows 11. All was sorted...

Helen, unless my eyes are deceiving me, you still show two full stops , which is what OP was complaining about. Yep, your eyes are the problem :D A quick check shows it hasn't been. Sorry Helen, It hought you were saying there isn’t two full stops, then I realised you meant problem hasn’t been fixe...

Helen, unless my eyes are deceiving me, you still show two full stops , which is what OP was complaining about. Woodr wanted Washington D.C. not Washington D.C.. Personally, I think State codes like NC, SC and DC don’t use any punctuation. So North Carolina is NC not N.C. thus double full stops don’...

With reference to children being out of sequence, when you add a new child, you can position them correctly by using the up/down arrows on toolbar. For an existing child, just highlight it in the parents focus window, and then use up/down arrows. Likewise with spouses, to get them in chronological o...

One thing that I found different and extremely useful with this census, is that if you have Irish ancestors, their place of birth is more specific. Up until 1911 census, my great grandmother’s birthplace varied between Ireland and Cork, Ireland. The 1921 census narrowed it down to Skibbereen Parish,...

Could it be you already have the file in your media? Also it strikes me that the part of the file name beginning with GBPRS etc, may be the name of the file actually downloaded from whatever website you got it from. To my mind, saving this detail may be a waste of your time, as it doesn’t allow for ...

Simon,
No thank you. I'd rather have the ability to switch it off altogether
