Thanks for that Tiwa01 and Helen, I always used to put the time and birth weight if known in the Note for the Birth Fact and I was looking for it in a Note somewhere, that was why I couldn't find it. :roll: I hope you are right as I like the way the template adds the data in to the citation. It is s...

Helen Yes line 756 is the same as the line you posted. Still can't find time of birth by principal section do you mean in the Note section of the property box? Is there a certain format that it has to be inserted in 10:10pm or 22:10 or some other way? Can I also say you lot are dragging me into a pl...

Hi all I have copied and pasted the line that Tlwa01 into line 759 and put a blank line under it (as there was one there before I rudely used the space). It has cured my problem, so thanks for that Tlwa01. I presume what I have done won't cause any other problems with the plugin and if for any other...

Thanks Tlwa01

Doesn't help me one bit as I don't have a clue what to do with the information you have supplied and to be quite honest having read it, I am not sure that I want to know either .

Again thanks for your reply.

I thought that it was some programming word to do with the templates, I now see that it is just a typinf=g error.

If I had a clue about what you were talking about Helen (existinf=g) I would do something about it . I can quite happily wait until all is well with the templates and yourself.

I assume you kNow about Edit > Undo Plugin Updates, which will undo anything the plugin does AS LONG AS YOU DO IT BEFORE CLOSING FH. Yes I know about Undo Plugin Updates, but I am really just messing about with a new project, so no need to worry about what happens with this. I won't start my redo u...

Well I did my marriage and added it using a template and it did almost everything, I never updated my wife's name and never added witnesses although it did add the Minister to the witnesses. So still not worth doing it this way as I can't trust it as most of my tree uses the Scottish templates. Mayb...

Exit means exit fh. Continue if repeated often enough will close the plugin gracefully Hi Helen or anyone else Sorry to ask but is there a work around for this. I tried to "close the plugin gracefully" but it has never worked. I even tried to see how long it would take and got to over a hundred tim...

Adrian. I have originals from 1872, 1940 & 1965 (Great Gran, Dad and mine) all ask for same information and same layout. Both my daughters 1993/95 changed to A4 portrait and the only different information was mothers address instead of fathers and then my granddaughter 2016 same layout as daughters ...

Thanks for that. I just thought that exit would close the error report and the DEA that was causing the error, not the whole program. I presume if I "close the plugin gracefully" I will lose the information I have already input, so clicking Exit and reopening FH will end up being quicker.

Helen

What is the reason for FH7 closing when I click Exit?

Helen

Scottish Birth Certificates post 1856 do have marriage info. My birth certificate gives my mum and dad's marriage date and place and I am born post 1856 (although some days a feel I am born pre 1856) and all certificates I have copies of are the same.

Helen I have tried it many ways but thought I would just start a new project to show what has happened. But in this instance I am trying to create a new family with no parents. The last two screen shots show what happens once I finish inputting data and click okay. That is where you end up not being...

Then Helen I do this

Okay Helen here goes.

Will add them later, 'she who shall be obeyed' wants to pop out for some shopping :lol: The problem with clicking ok instead of Exit is that you just go into a loop of OK, what about the birthday update to lua error, then back round again. The only option you have eventually is to press exit to get ...

Helen What is a DEA? My problem is, if I use FH7 menu option to input data using menu Add>Source/Citation>Create Source From Template/Prepare Citation... From the window that appears I select Civil Registration Certificat e then Create Source fill out the information then select Data Entry Assistant...

Hi All, Sorry if this has already been mentioned but I couldn't see anything when I looked. I have came across this problem a few times now. I opened the 'Create Source From Template' and entered all the information requested then once I clicked the OK button I get this message. 2021-01-02 (1).png I...

I actually like the Metrolike style, I just don't understand the new topic/unread topic icons in the board index and that's why I don't use it. Marina and Prosilver are easy to understand but Metrolike is beyond me.

This is obviously my problem, the option is not available in the Marina Orange style setting. I changed to Metrolike and it was there, so I switched them off and then returned to the Marina orange style.

Then what Helen, I don't see any options for sound or Christmas lights

How do you turn off the light smashing sound?

Happy New Year to you as well David,

These 2 topics in the General Usage section of the forum by ShoshK may be worth looking at as they are dealing with this topic at the moment

You could always add them using the 'Name Only' option in witnesses and then add a note to the effect that they are your mother/mother-in-law giving their maiden name and Record ID in a note. Maybe not how you would want it, but it would give you the name the way you want it.
