Repositories not exporting

Post by kennyg » 20 Jan 2010 14:03

I'm trialling FH4 and am using it at home and at work on different computers.

I'm exporting GEDCOM files and emailing them back and forward to maintain up to date input.

One problem, the Repositories are not being included in the exported files even although I'm not ticking the 'Exclude Repositories' box.

Am I doing something wrong?

Any help/guidance gratefully received.

Thanks,

Can you not simply email the GEDCOM file itself (from your Project .fh_data folder) rather than an exported extract from it? In any case, when I try Export, all the Repository records are included OK.

You might have repositories not linked to any individuals. See the 'Exclude all records which are not linked to the selected Individual records' checkbox in the 'Export Gedcom File' window.

Thank you both.

Peter, keep forgetting that underlying files are GED files - your suggestion worked.

Jon, I'll have a closer look.

Don't forget the point about exporting is to be able to strip private and other data out that another researcher doesn't need. If the other researcher is yourself then exporting is not necessary!

Thanks again Jon,

I've been a TMG user for years so my 'autopilot' is export mode!

Regards,

Kenny
