Mike I followed exactly what was in those knowledge base articles. I’ll add the row expressions as well. Thanks

Feels like I'm constantly asking for help. Having set everything up as set out by Jane, Mike and Peter I get the results that I was looking for with the exception that everyone in my tree is included in the Query results. If an individual has no entry in the Tab set up such as "Research To Do" how d...

Peter, works a treat thanks

Once again thanks both, I have almost completed everything and most things work just as I wanted / you advised. The only issue I appear to have is with the Record Id. I have entered the details as you suggested Mike but always seem to end up with a blank column. I have included two attachments (hope...

It’s question time again. Under the Research To Do tab if I wanted to add more than 1 To Do Task, say for Birth, which of the following is the correct way of entering the detail so when I run a query they are all shown. Birth: Locate Address Born. Obtain Certificate. OR Birth: Locate Address Born. B...

Mike, once again thanks. Yes I have created a Fact, Tab and Query. I plan to use the Research Done tab so I can try and keep a record of unsuccessful research so I don’t keep going going through the same areas.

I have worked through the advice given by both of you and have managed to create two new tabs "Research To Do" and "Research Done", which seem to do what I was attempting, thank you both. I have also created two associated Queries. Is it possible to add a column to the Queries that details the assoc...

Thanks both I think I will try and delete the tabs and start again.

Jane

Not too sure how to do that but Ill try next time.

Further to my last post when I add new text to the Research Tab I get the following within the Facts Tab on the first line.

Research: NotesPage:{=Text if(GetParagraph(%FACT.NOTE2%,2)="",,"/(MORE)")}

This may help

Jane / Mike, thanks for the replies I have attached a second document that shows some more screen shots. Jane your post rings some bells and I think that is what I used to set up the Research Tab. The first two screen shots show the FACT TYPE and FACT DEFINITION , which may be of some help. Mike hop...

I have managed to create a "Research Tab" within the property box (not too sure how I did it but its there) as per the attachment shown under the title "RESEARCH TAB IN PROPERTY BOX". I have two questions being 1: Is there a way to be able to put the different sentences on subsequent lines so I can ...

Thank you. I’ll have a look at the suggestion. I’m not very good with query so may have to come back begging again.

I have had a look through the knowledge base and cant really find exactly what I am looking for, I may have missed a previous post so I apologise. Is there a plug in or query that I can use to produce a list including the following columns Name Individual ID Notes (from the notes tab on the property...

Thanks for the post they were the type of views I was looking for. Does anybody else have thoughts.

Thanks for the info. The question I intended to pose was how people actually record what they have done or not done within a To Do list tab, what works and what doesn’t.

I have created a To Do tab in FH and I am wondering how people use their to do list. I wish to record web sites and places I have visited and things I still need to do. Any thoughts, ideas or recommendations for what people have found works would be appreciated. Thanks

Thanks for the advice.

I have obtained probate records from the website "https://probatesearch.service.gov.uk/#wills". On more recent deaths, the record indicates the deceased name, address, date of death, probate area and value. Additionally there is a number afterwards such as "79250442 1F". On older probate records the...

Thanks for all the advice. I initially forgot to add and attachments as a PDF then after posting realised what I had done. I converted the file to PDF on my computer but it was too large to add (over 259 mb).

I have recently found a printer that is able to print an All Relative Diagram for me on to a roll of paper so I am able to see all of my tree on one "long sheet of paper". I have successfully used this to show relatives the progress I have made and help them recall family details. The only issue is ...

Jane thanks for that I’ll keep it in mind

Thanks Mike adding notes was something that discussed in chapter 4 and with your clarification makes sense. I’ll take that approach. Just one point what is the ODT you refer to.

In order to keep my research in a format that I can understand I have created a source record for all the sources of information I have obtained, be it birth, death, marriage certificates etc. In addition where I have located a photograph I have also created a source record, not sure if that's stand...

Once again you’ve all come up trumps. I’ve gone for a customised version of ‘Sources for a given record’ as suggested by Bill Henshaw. I’ll also make sure I keep back up records of the FH programme. Thanks to all for your help.
