Brilliant - that's done it.
Thanks

Re: Importing from external drive
Somehow, no idea how, all the males in my database have acquired a 1901 census icon and I can't get rid of them. I'm now too scared to do anything about adding an icon to ancestors in case they get attached to the wrong people. Unless you tell me that it's easy to get rid of these rogue icons, I'll ...

Re: Importing from external drive
Yippee - I'm nearly there. Some of the census record words had disappeared from the tabs but I was able to add them. The only thing that's missing now is the flag attached to ancestors. Just want to check before I go ahead: would this be to use 'add condition' then 'expression'? I'm really sorry to ...

Re: Importing from external drive
No it doesn't look like that on my PC. Where you've got a list of files I've just got pictures of the icons. I'm going to go away and eat worms ...

Re: Importing from external drive
I've copied the FH icons into the Calico Pie folder. When trying to add the icons, what should be in the 'look in' box? I'm still getting FHIcons-1 which is the file I copied into the Calico Pie folder.

Re: Importing from external drive
Quick query: Will Control C & Control V (my usual method of copying & pasting) work for copying a folder? I haven't yet found my way round Win 10 to be able to manage a 'drag & drop'.

Re: Importing from external drive
Thanks for explaining about the box conditions but I'm afraid I'm still in a fog about the rest. Everything from the XP computer is now on Win 10 and to all intents and purposes the old one is no more. I don't understand what 'Diagrams using Census Icons' means. I just used the main diagram window a...

Re: Importing from external drive
I've spent ages over the weekend trying to come to grips with this but have to admit defeat. Rather than risk corrupting my data I think maybe starting census flags/icons (whatever the term is) from scratch might be the best option. Problem here is that I can't make sense of the instructions! I mana...

Re: Importing from external drive
Oh dear, I seem to be going round in circles. the C:Program Data file has got Calico Pie, Family Historian in it so I was stumped there. Thinking that I would just have to start from scratch again with census flags I searched for the instructions that I followed before. All I could find was flags wi...

Re: Importing from external drive
Thanks Mike, have now successfully imported my FH data. I'm stuck though on how to move settings. The knowledge base gives clear instructions but (and I'm almost too ashamed to admit this) I don't know how to find where the Calico Pie folder is, nor where the C drive information is located. I have g...

Importing from external drive
I've recently replaced my 11 yr old XP computer which had FH4, and now have Windows 10. I shall soon be installing FH6. All my data (no photos, media, saved diagrams etc) is stored as a gedcom on an external drive. I'm hoping that once FH6 is installed, I can just import the data. Is it going to be ...
