Mike, I have at least a project which includes my last additions, but this excludes many sources which were lost for whatever reasons in V7. I've looked at the Merge and Compare operation and since I have no experience with this before, I have chosen not to use it on my master project (far too risky...

Ok Mike,

Thanks that the last info. All good stuff.
Now to look at the compare issue.

Cheers.
Mike

Hi Mike, Yes, there are backups of previous files. Thank heavens. There were many records on each V6 and V7 projects/gedcoms. I'll update you more once I have trudged some more. To digress slightly, On the subject on missing sources - On the sources tab, each one has a Record ID. Would you know wher...

Hi Mike, I will be honest, I'm getting confused whether it was a V6 gedcom into a V7, or the other way round. Whichever the case, I returned back to an older V6 Gedcom and imported this as a new Project, with the same error message concerning excluded sources. If, I attempted to re-do of a V6/V7 Com...

Well, I tried as you suggested :- 1) Created a new project by importing the V6 gedcom. Then tried to merge and compare with the V7. I selected the merge button without hitting the check button. Not sure whether this was right though. The result was the same, in that there was no records (individuals...

Thanks Mike, I'll give it a whirl tomorrow.

Hi, After finding that several of my sources had vanished (probably due to an earlier validation prompt), I began to merge copies of my V6 ad V7 gedcoms. I can load the merged Gedcom by the Project Window > More Tasks > Gedcom File Tasks > Open Gedcom File. When I try to recreate this as a new proje...

To support Gowermick I have done the same in my project and differentiated the Un-related people by adding a suffix like, Joe /BLOGGS/ (U-R), then add create a flag to record them as Unrelated.
They can then be displayed in a named list.

Regards
Mike

Thanks Mike.

Appreciate your help.

Kind regards,
Mike

Hi,

I'm astonished when I tried inserting my custom diagram icons back.
V7 looks like you can't browse through your Windows folder and attach your customised icon.
This surely can't have been overlooked by C.P. ?
Any suggestions.

Thanks

In the Property window (for each person), go to the Media tab.
All your media items for that person will be listed.
Select the record you no longer want to display on the Focus widow.
Click the 'Edit' icon.
Tick the option, Exclude from Diagrams.

Appreciate the last update Mike,

It got a result (i.e. diagram icon) when the place name was ",England". Which does the job nicely.
Great work.
Thanks.

Mike

Thanks for your efforts Mike. Even with the updated expression, the string sadly reads as a non-valid expression. I will carry on using the record flags and queries, which produces the right results. I thought using Expressions with the diagram boxes would have made the process more automatic, but t...

Thanks Mike Aware of this rule with the likes of Excel. Hopefully, it won't be long until Mike Tate has come up with a re-working. I hope where ever the county name is (i.e. in Field 1, Field 2, so on), it will work. Otherwise, it's a case of keeping the record flags, and running the query each time.

Thank you Mike,

I will indeed look at the knowledge base article.

Makes sense, regarding the redundant census year.
I've tried cutting and pasting the expressions you've kindly made, but for some reason it still shows it's invalid, is it anything to do with the 2nd closed bracket ?

Cheers.
Mike

Hello, Apologies if this has been covered before, I think the nearest post may have been : 15078|Diagram Icons: Flags -> Expressions I've been trying to write an expression so I can use the census dates and places. So I have a different icon for a 1911 census in England and another for Canada, etc. ...

Thanks for your reply, Mike.

Hi,

Would you please advise what the significance of the Named List editable field, by right clicking, selecting properties and making it "Record editing enabled".

Thank you.

Its quite possible you may see an end or gradual decline in the number of free weekends to access records.
This would be a sad day should this occur.

Double click on the blue Focus square in the top left hand corner of the Focus Window. The Focus window should then revert back to 50:50 with the Properties box on the right hand side of the screen. On second thoughts, this doesn't work, it just brings the property box on the right hand side to the ...

Hi,

Have you by any chance created a custom fact called Death 2 ?

Create a new individual query.
On line two add : "=RelationPool(%INDI%)"
Those not in Pool 1, should be orphans.

I found this by going on the 'Help menu'.

Mike, Thanks for your help, this does the job nicely.

Hi,

I'm looking for a simple query which shows the source certainty assessment note field for each fact.
Would someone please point me in the right direction whether it's a source query, fact query, individual query; along with the query label.

Thanks.

Mike

Thanks for your advice Jane.

I'll give it a go.

Mike.
