Family Historian User Group

Yes I did.

That should have lead to the Controlled folder access settings.

I didn't notice such a message

My understanding is that the protect folder option was turned on, this means it's up to the user to specify which programs other than operating system level ones can write to the folder. I use Windows defender and have no problems with FH and it's backups so I suspect that it's an option you need t...

I understand your points and read through that article. I am satisfied with the precautions I currently take. Hopefully I won't have to eat my words

Response from Calico Pie: To: David Cooper Thanks for letting us know it's another one we can now advise on. It would make sense if you lock the folder down then you need to allow each program in to access it. Unfortunately for obvious reasons, it's not possible to set access from the programs which...

You are quite right I am relying on Windows Defender, I believe the built in protection it offers has improved immensely since the early days.

I wonder if it is a file access permissions problem. HI Mike, thanks for your reply - it is indeed a file access problem, but not I have found in the properties section!!! It seems to be a new setting in Windows security. I have full access in the security tab as I first checked. I have set .ged to...

I read that as Stationers before seeing other two replies. The S looks vaguely corrected and the t lack bars.

HI, I just got an unhandled exception error running AS from FH. I had just selected an individual and load two census images and was switching between the two. I have done the same before with no problems, so this is an unusual event. Unhandled Exception.jpg The full error text is as follows:- See t...

I find clicking on the + sign will reveal more data including Parents Family and Spouse family if present.

A good reminder, have just checked my back-ups. That they are current and useable.

I have done an address search on Find My Past, shows E.D. Letter Code as DPOJ Reg district 178-2. Any help? I searched for Anstee in Luton MB only.

I signed up to this list quite recently, received one digest and then this message. Did not look like spam, but an admin issue.

I signed up recently. I received one digest, and the message under discussion. It didn't seem to be spam, I wondered if the admin had retired?

Thank you Ann, Jane and Mike for your replies. You seem to be talking about the order of the Citations for the Birth fact in your screenshot. Yes that is correct, my Subject heading indicated that but the body of the text did not. Sorry for that. You can use the up/down arrows top right to change th...

I haven't managed to do that; but I have removed the occupation from the main tab completely by clicking on the down arrow next to the cog and selecting Customise Data Entry . I removed Sex and Occupation and added Sex . That way the Main Tab shows the mainly constant information. The occupation(s) ...

Thanks for all the contributions.

I am using PDF-XChange Editor, I like the OCR, extracting images and conversion options.

Thank you Mike and Brian and others for your work on this.
