I don't think Nick ever announced 5.3.

This page Knowledge Base > Utility ~ Ancestral Sources v5.3.0 or another one? Can you provide a link?

l is any iup.list; tblVals is any Lua table (indexed or non-indexed). It take the values in the table and drops them into the list. You code is a good start, but how are you constructing your iup list? You'll also want to think about how you handle what happens when a value is selected. Have a look ...

This is my goto function for populating a list from a table. function PopulateList(l, tblVals) local is_indexed = (rawget( tblVals, 1 ) ~= nil) l.REMOVEITEM = "ALL" if not is_indexed then local i=1 for k, _ in pairs(tblVals) do l[tostring(i)]=k i=i+1 end else for i, v in ipairs(tblVals) do l[tostrin...

If you want to import it into Access, not Excel, open Access with a blank database and go to the External Data menu item. Then select New Data Source > From File > Text File. Select your csv that you exported from Fh. Access will steer you through the import.

Where within source, perhaps.

It does depend on how Peter plans to use it.

I suspect the ID meant is the unique identifier in the LDS mega tree, like KWJZ-HGK (which is for a distant relative of mine). Using custom ID would make sense if everyone in your tree is going to have either no custom ID or only custom IDs in that format. Presumably you might have people in your tr...

Sorry Mike, I found it a bit opaque -- I try not to repeat what other people have already said.

I do wonder if this conversation is getting to the point that a local hands-on PC expert is the quickest solution? Assuming (unlike me) you're not in "shut the door don't go out and arm the cats with machines guns to repel boarders" mode?

It will work now -- the version on the old link (5.2) was out of date and pointed to a file that had been deleted. It now points to 5.3.

Working on it -- watch this space!

I'm glad it looks promising. I'm hoping to make some changes to the search feature on the new KB which will make it even more usable when it's complete.

Mike, you do not need to hack the registry. What order were the programmes installed in? I'm guessing O365 first as the PC came with it, the the standalone version. Uninstall the standalone version (second installed) Uninstall O365 (first installed) Reinstall the standalone version (now the only ins...

You might have to uninstall both Office 365 and the standalone program(s) and then reinstall the standalone program(s). MS has two different installation mechanisms for 365 and standalone, and they conflict with each other.

Have you tried asking the person whose tree it is?

Thanks to those of you who have volunteered to help with the migration so far -- more volunteers are always welcome! We'd be grateful if changes to the current KB could be kept to a minimum -- we're not freezing it because some changes are obviously necessary, and content that isn't currently planne...

We need a little more info to work out what's going on.

What else was running at the same time?

Do you have your FH project data or Gedcom in Dropbox/Google Drive/OneDrive?

Did anything on your system change before this started happening?

It will be even better when all the content is migrated but thank you on behalf of Jane, Colin and I.

The new Knowledge Base platform is now ready for migration to start (apart, of course, for the bugs that you eagle-eyed lot will find). Many thanks to Valkrider (Colin) for doing much of the technical heavy lifting (he's much more familiar with WordPress than I am, and doesn't complain at all when I...

I handle source images as Lorna does -- mostly one source, multiple document images. My output only goes to a website where I display the fact notes and (if I've done a transcription, which isn't usually the case for voluminous service records) the text from source.

We already know that FH7 will have source templates... I'm looking forward to the long slog of converting my sources into template-based sources. It will be worth it.

For military service, I have a single Military Service attribute. The value is the branch of the armed forces and if known any detail about regiment, ship etc. The date is a period (the period in which they served), the place is the place or places they served, and the Note covers the 'interesting d...

obviously Calico has the time now to accelerate its testing and release date. Well, maybe -- if no-one involved has Covid-related health problems, or childcare responsibilities that make working from home less effective, and if they aren't dependent on others for software components that are delaye...
