Converting note records?

Post by davidb » 19 Jul 2007 22:44

In moving my data from Generations into FH, all the hundreds of notes, which were'local' in Generations, have come into FH as Note Records, each with just a single link to an Individual Record. In content, not one of them qualifies as a Note Record but before I begin the tedious and lengthy task of copying, pasting as local and then deleting every  one of them individually, I thought it worthwhile to ask if anyone knows of a less laborious way of changing their status to become local notes in the Individual Records to which they are presently linked?

I think you really need a program written. I have a fair few which need converting, but have been leaving it until I have time to code a converter. I know there are quite a few 'coders' around so perhaps someone else will have the time to do the job for you.
