I changed the parents of one person in tree FHv4 now I can't add any dob or dod's where did I go wrong?[confused]

ID:4051

Can't think of a reason for this.

Where are you trying to enter them? What are you seeing on the screen and what error are you getting?

In Main tab in Birth space nothing will type, press keys and nothing happens, when I click the little tab with 3 dots at end of birth space menu appears: Date entry assistant
Gregorian :None , Approximate..
Calculated and Estimated
As I do know the date of birth I feel none of the above apply!!

Hi Barbara,

The calendar we are all using now is the Gregorian, and the box you have described is the correct place to enter the Birth Date.

It's possible a bit of confusion with the Julian calendar (which is another option for the Date entry assistant.

Hope this helps

I have just opened up FH again to try entering dob this time no menu pop down and will only all me to type 6 digits in the space. Went into tools to see if I could get to the date entry assistant but can't see it. What is my correct step now??

Jane & Bilko,
Still trying to make sense of this problem have been into the date entry assistant again, GREGORIAN is seledted but I still can't enter a date no matter what I select on the assistant tab : none/ approximate/ calculated or estimated nothing can be put into these spaces. When I close the assistant a menu pops up saying 'The year field is mandatory'. What more can I do to fix this as I can't get going with anything else now.

Can you screen shot the dialogue and post it here so we can see what you are seeing please.

It should look like this

I know this is a very long shot, but you have got the 'Num Lock' key selected haven't you?

Jane thats the menu I was getting.

Adrian,

Long shot it was...but correct,I somehow
did not have num lock on which I always do have it on.
Thanks to all who helped sorry for making such a stupid error.
