I have my FH data on a NAS drive on a hard-wired LAN and I find v7 will often freeze during a save. Its only a few seconds for a 16M file but a bit irritating when I'm doing data entry.
Given this is new to v7, fingers crossed it will improve in an upgrade

Customisation of Diagrams, etc after Upgrade
After upgrading to v7, I successfully switched all icons to be displayed on diagrams from flag to expression generated; I also created a couple of extra census icons for US censuses run in x0 and did various other tweaks to v6 customisation. That is on all on my desktop. I've now upgraded fh on a ne...

Adding Icons to charts
I used the previous facility in AS to set the relevant census flag and then added a series of conditions in the Diagram Options/Boxes/Record Flag to display the correct icon. Now the facility is no longer available in AS, I browsed the AS forum and there was a post mentioning a series of 7 expressio...

Re: AS7 - Restoring Previous Census Templates
The changes to census templates are a bit more extensive than just replacing UK with England/Wales/Ireland, etc. There is also now a 'census type' which allows it support things that are similar to census records like electoral rolls. There are also options to, for example, use a residence fact rat...

AS7 - Restoring Previous Census Templates
I've just upgraded to FH7 and then AS7. During the AS7 upgrade I thought I'd checked a box to keep my previously customised census templates. Whatever I did or didn't do, I'm left with a new set of census templates and exploring this forum and the AS7 menu options I'm not sure what to do next. Is th...

Re: Running a Query on the Result Set of Another Query
Thanks Mike,
I'd guessed it might not have been possible. Adding the row filter and changing it each time got me 50% of the way there though.

Running a Query on the Result Set of Another Query
Not sure if this can even be done but I can't find it covered elsewhere. Essentially, what I want to do is to work just on a subset of records (often surnames) and then interrogate that subset further. The subject of the second interrogation is almost as open-ended as the queries available (eg missi...

Thanks Mike, I did that before I posted but only some of the customisation seemed to go over.

Field name is there, but a tick box isn't. ...

Starting New Project
I want to start a new project but use the fairly heavy customisation of tabs, flags and icons on trees, sources, place name lists, etc. that I've built up over the years on my main project.
Any advice on the best way to do this will be appreciated.
Many thanks

Have you thought of using Tools > How Related instead? Thanks MIke for the suggestion.
