Hi, I am going to have to buy a new laptop, they all come with Windows 10 installed. I can't find any comments as to any problems or advantages with running FH6 on Win 10. I am sure that there are some FH users are running it on Win 10, please update me with any comments. Also will I need to update ...

Thanks for all your comments, very useful they will take some time to digest.

Hi, me again, I have just re-checked the Plugin List and have found one called 'Check For Un-linked Media', is the Plugin I need to run?
John

Hallo, I am migrating my projects to another pc. Is there a simple way, or PlugIn to check for any broken links? rather than scrolling through 20,000 odd media files/documents looking for 'X's, it is not a job I am looking forward to. I have looked through the PlugIn list etc and was not able to loc...

I have just sent a request to Kaspersky for help as it may be a security configuration issue.
Watch this space !!!

Hi Mike, The blank page happens on any web page whether large or small. It all went wrong after I was advised (by a Microsoft Salesman/Engineer) to run 'Scannow' to try to fix a minor problem that he thought was a doggy Register file, but I could have lived with the problem hence trying a restore. I...

Update on Snipping Tool and Faststone Capture:- Both work on computer stored pages but neither work on a Web Page, the screen just goes blank with both so I can't see any image to capture. I have even done a 'Restore' to an earlier date when they were working, without any joy. Could it be something ...

Thanks for the replies, I had forgotten the 'Snipping Tool' and I think it will do. I did like certain other functions in 'Faststone Capture' but I will see how I manage.

Hi, My free copy of Faststone Capture has stopped working on web pages, it works fine on pages within my Windows 7 computer. I have re-installed it several times with no luck. I don't want to buy a copy and find I still have the problem, there dosn't seem to be a free download any more, no matter wh...

Thanks for the replies, I have just checked it with my new granddaughter and sure enough there is her age.
You learn something new every day!
Thanks John

Please help, I have two people who have an 'Age' but no date. I have entered a dummy death which cleared the 'Phantom Age', but when the death was deleted the 'Phantom Age' re-appeared. There must be a field that I cannot find with the 'Age' in it. It may have been transferred from 'Family Tree Make...

Ok, your the expert and more experenced with the Reporting etc.

I don't know if it was different in V5 as I haven't tried it since updating my 'Places/Address' which were in a right state. As it doesn't seem to be possible do you think it should be on the wish list? and include notes as well under the Address, may be have the same layout for all Facts, rather th...

Thank you, it works fine.
I couldn't have worked it out myself.
John

Is there some way of adding a column to a custom 'Named List Members' report showing their relationship to the 'Root'.
All I can display is the 'Root' persons name against everyone in the report.
Thanks
John

I have just run a 'Family Group' report in V6 and the address is not put under the 'Place' but under the 'Date' (see attachment)
I can't find any options to correct the layout under 'Report Options'
Any ideas please.
John

Just a quick note on modifying place names to a standard format.
After changing pages of them by hand, it occurred to me to use 'Find & Replace', this worked like a gem, why I didn't use it before I have no Idea, something I have not used before.
John

You know Mike I have never seen the Place Tab in the Records Window, am I more senile than I thought I was or is it a V6 thing?
It worked a treat, thanks a lot, I have been trying to loose the data in various ways for several days, even deleting the person it was attached to.
Thanks again.
John

Sorry it's me again about a software problem that I have with the 'Place' Window. I am using FH V6 on a PC running Windows 7 Home Premium with Service Pack 1. I first started using genealogy software with Family Tree Maker on MSDOS then via several up grades until I purchased FH 4 several years ago....

Thank you all for the answers, I think that I will use the current location name especially as others will be able to find it. I have three location names for Bristol :- Gloucestershire, Avon and Gloucestershire, Avon but I have just found out that Bristol has been a county in its own right since 13...

Thanks for the answers, I have a country column but I have only used it in the past for India Australia, USA etc.
All my modern entries have a country, it is just the hundreds or thousands of early entries that don't.
Sounds like I have a lot of editing to do.

First of all may I wish everyone at the Forum a happy new year and thank them for their hard work during 2014. Having just upgraded to V6 from V5 I have decided to have a clean sweep of all the old place names that I entered in the early days, around 1985/90 where I put everything into the place fie...

I purchased a V4 boxed set that was installed on desktop and laptop PC's. I purchased the V5 upgrade CD. I have just got V5 running. I exited the setup screen, it stated that if I exit the programme would not run and I would have to run setup later. having exited I saw a V5 icon on the desktop so cl...

Just installing V5 that was purchased several months ago on my laptop and the registration is asking for my 'User Name' and Key for V4. How do I find my User Name, I have the key and there is a statement that says 'If a user name was not supplied with the Key then leave the field blank' This does no...

All data re-entered & working. See attachment
