Uploading Report Templates

Post by aragorn » 06 Jan 2005 14:32

I have been making templates for 6x4 record cards. (I have just started to work out how to write my own reports!)
I would like to upload them to the website but do not know where to find the files on my computer to upload.
The templates I have made are for:-
6x4 Record Card - with Sources
6x4 Record Card - without Sources
6x4 Source Card

Go into Downloads.
At the bottom of the catagories is an option to add a download.

Once you get in simply click on the upload link and then browse to your templates on your computer select one and it should upload. Then click add link on the small window and complete the other fields on the form.
If you get stuck if you e-mail the files I will upload them for you.

In documents and settings/application data/all users/calico pie/family historian/report templates/custom

Not at home at the moment, but thats what I think it is from memory.

Sorry I still can't find them.I saved the templates as custom reports in FH and can access them from there but I have searched high and low on my computer and only found the list of reports that come with FH.[cry]

I think you may be not finding the Application Data folder as it is hidden...

In Windows Explorer go to:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users

Go to the Tools Menu and choose 'folder options'

Select 'Show hidden files and folders' under the view tab. Select OK.

You should then be able to see the Application Data folder.

Go into this then into Calico Pie -> Family Historian -> Reports -> Custom

Hope this helps.
