Re: Modern day conundrum

Surely this is just badly designed software and badly thought out idea's. It would surely make sense to have what you are known as now as the main name on the main page of any software with names before either below or attached. I say this because when talking to relations about other relations, the...

Re: OneDrive sync ends next year

That was why a said "soon to be unsupported" after all it is only 10 month's after the Onedrive app is dispatched. I really think this is Microsoft just trying to get peeps to upgrade to their more secure version of Windows by giving them less goodies if you stay on the older version.

Re: OneDrive sync ends next year

I think I would be more worried about having an unsupported and soon to be unsupported version of windows on my PC, than whether it was going to sync OneDrive. As you say, you will still be able to use OneDrive online to store your data and use it across your devices. Best option in the long run is ...

Send Part of Tree

Hi All, Is there an easy way to split a part of my tree to send to a relative. I could do this with my old FTM very easily, but can't for the life of me find an easy way to do it with FH7. In FTM I would do an export, select (say) my father and then click descendants and FTM would then add my father...

Silly question maybe, but have you shut down your PC and restarted it. You know computers, they sometimes need a restart for some changes to take place even when they shouldn't.

Re: Getting a DEA Divorce

What I meant Helen was when you click on something you expect there to be an option to use it. When I selected Create Source from Template and then in the CR Certificate option you get the option to add a divorce, yet as you have said there is no Divorce DEA. If I was expecting to create my own DEA ...
