May I suggest you read through my Forum topic Place and Address References at: http://www.fhug.org.uk/cgi-bin/index.cgi?action=forum&board=v4use&op=display&num=4706 which goes into a lot more detail than I can repeat here. It explains how I create a FH Source & Repository data struct...

I have now started using FH Internet > Create a Website incorporating the Google Maps Hyperlinks outlined above. The Report Template should Include Repository Information for at least Address and Web Address fields. Unfortunately, some Web Address Hyperlinks are malformed with an extra dot(.) by FH,...

If both your computers have internet access you should consider using Dropbox or something similar to keep your Project in sync between the two machines.

See the following Knowledge Base entry for more details:-

It might be that on-line backup is also causing my problem. I am using Windows Live Mesh that is part of Windows Live Essentials and successor to Windows Live Sync . Windows Live Mesh synchronises my folders/files with Windows Live SkyDrive on-line cloud storage. So if the .ged file is 'locked' by W...

I maintain the same number of columns in all Place entries as you do, which may require fields sometimes. This works better when using FH Tools > Work with Data > Places . In the Places List window the columns all contain the same type of place (e.g. Place 1 = Town, Place 2 = County, Place 3 = Count...

This is the error message associated with this problem.

I have tried FH Demo V3.0.1 on a Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit PC, but it does not exhibit the scrollbar bug. I suspect PeterR is using a Windows XP 32-bit PC, and it does not have the bug. My main PC is Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit . So I guess the bug only arises on Windows 7 &/or 64-bit ...

In effect that is what Jane is suggesting. The edits for FAML and NOTN convert these unrecognised tags into FH customised attributes using the _ATTR tag followed by the TYPE tag that defines the custom attribute name. These will appear on your FH Property Box - Fact tab. You then use FH Tools > Work...

Eric, before you venture into editing with PSPad the following may help. 1) In the FHUG Knowledge Base there is more on PSPad at: http://www.fhug.org.uk/wiki/doku.php?id=fhugdownloads:contents:pspad_editor 2) In my step 5) above the Find: regular expression assumes every Place/PLAC sub-field is sepa...

PPS:

I have experimented with FH Demo V3.0.1 and this vertical scrollbar bug exists in that version too!

Postscript If the Tools > Preferences > Startup > Display the Records Window, instead of the Focus Window, at Startup option is ticked, then the Records inner-window vertical scrollbar is shown at startup OK. However, if I then select the main FH Window Restore Down and Maximize icons, the vertical ...

There is an easy way using PSPad (or any text editor with Regular Expressions). 1) Take a copy of your GEDCOM .ged file to another folder 2) Download and install PSPad from http://www.pspad.com/en/ 3) Run PSPad and use menu bar File > Open to open your copied .ged file. 4) Use menu bar Search > Repl...

I think donone has spotted a bug. I default to FH Window Maximized with Focus inner-window as default and all inner-windows Maximised . After FH starts, if I select the Individual Records - Records Window icon then there is NO vertical scrollbar. I can select any Record type tab and still NO vertica...

Regarding your 2 options in posting 'bm25 (01/07/11 - 05:28:45)' these suggestions might help. 1) RESIZE IN PHOTO EDITOR You are basically correct. To ensure all pictures in diagrams are the same width you must resize them in a photo editor such as Photoshop or IrfanView. The resulting pictures must...

bm, Are you saying that your diagram pictures are all the same height (0.75' as specified in your Diagram Options) but are different widths? If so, it is probably because the height to width ratio is not the same for all the pictures. If for example some pictures are Landscape shape and others are P...

I too have started having this problem with FH V4.1.3 occasionally complaining about saving the .ged file, and saving it as a ~fhXXXX.tmp file, where XXXX can comprise any characters 0-9 & A-F. In my case I have taken a copy of the .tmp file, renamed the copy to the original .ged filename, and c...

Yes.
It is in the Knowledge Base via the Main Menu top left.
Then select FHUG Downloads and explore the Categories.

Alternatively, if you know a little about HTML you could perform the following edit after the website is created. Open the index.html file in a plain text editor such as Notepad or WordPad or PSPad . Search for a section of HTML: <img src='_h1_ that is followed by your Home Page photo filename. Repl...

Note to Nick Walker:
Perhaps a Help section in AS on 'How to Move Ancestral Sources to Another PC' would be a useful addition.

Note to Nick Walker:
In the Help page for Census Template Editor, under Column Type: Generic: there should be a cross-reference to the Ancestral Sources Options page Census settings subsection for Generic Columns.

I forgot to mention that this feature was not in Gedcom Census, it was added in Ancestral Sources. Also there is another refinement. In AS use Tools > Options > Census settings , and under Generic Columns lower right, there is an option to Include note titles . If you remove the tick, then the Colum...

First of all have you unzipped the Kinsfolk_Census_Queries.zip downloaded file? Right-click on this .zip file and use Extract All or use WinZip or 7-Zip to unzip and extract both files: Kinsfolk Census Done Report.fhq Kinsfolk Census To Do Table.fhq Rather copy these two .fhq files to the Queries fo...

These Notes are managed by the Census Templates . See the AS Census > Census Templates menu option. Choose the Country and Year at the top and select a Census Column on the left. For Column Type: Generic there is an option called Recording: that determines how data is recorded. The default is Append...

Just to add to what Nick has said: On old PC use Tools > Backup A.S. Options which should use your AS Backups folder to save an XML file. Copy all the folders and files that you have specified in Tools > Options > General settings > Folders from old PC to new PC. i.e. Settings Folder, Logs Folder, a...
