Thank you, and I'm glad the mod works fine. Andy, have you discovered the FHUG at http://www.fhug.org.uk/ that has a wealth of info on FH?

Indeed Yes! I do not write often, but I do read everything and gradually begin to understand more as time goes on. I also find it valuable to read the differing opinions and ideas expressed by other members. Therefore abundant Good Wishes to Jane, Mike and everyday else as well. (And thanks for the prompt, too!)

I'm using FH 4.1.3. I have several individuals marked as "hidden" in my tree diagrams, and this works fine for pdf diagrams. How do I mark people as "hidden" when generating a web site? The web site generation process tells me how many hidden people are being skipped, but they still appear on the site.

Andy said: <snippet> I was pleased to see the solution to the above by Jane and added the desired code as per instructions. At first sight it looked as if all was well but I then noted that if the person selected is female the husband's name is correctly listed in the 'spouse' column but if the person selected is male then his own name appears. If he is unmarried then the 'spouse' entry is correctly blank. I suspect I have missed something rather obvious and will be grateful for any guidance on how to get back on track. Many thanks <snippet> Yes - Unfortunately, Jane's first suggestion of INDI.FAMS[1]>~SPOU[1]> does exactly as you describe. It should have been INDI.~SPOU>NAME but as mentioned in subsequent replies this only copes with the 1st of multiple marriages/partnerships. Try the later suggestions that cope with up to 4 marriages/partnerships but remember that E-mails sometimes wrap long lines over several lines and all the Expression must be entered on just one line: =Text(%INDI.~SPOU>NAME%."

The snag is that without the commas you cannot tell where one name ends and the next one starts! If you insert commas into the Expression below, then you always get the three commas, which looks odd when less than 4 Spouses.

Jane, As always you are quite correct ! Oh dear - more corrections to be made. I can see "search and replace" having another trip out !

Jane, That has resolved my problem - thank you once again. I had been guided by the FH Help Section. When reading "Notes - Marriage Notes" there is the section "How to create a marriage note" Specifically:- "If you want to create a note about a marriage event (the actual occasion of marriage) select the Marriage event (or add one if you haven't already got one) in the Facts tab of the Property Box, when viewing record details for either spouse. Then enter the note in the Note field below" Following this is the reason why my data ended where it did! Have i miss interpreted the instructions?

Jane, The notes I am after are inserted in the small panel just under the marriage entry in the Property Dialog Box. When I look in the All Tab there is nothing to be seen. It appears in the Notes tab. against the name of the selected persons spouse Is this a Family level note to which you refer ? If yes, then how do I access it? thank you, Nev. -----Original Message----- From: Jane Taubman Sent: Thursday, January 02, 2014 3:08 PM To: family-historian-users Subject: Re: [FHU] Marriage Notes On 2 January 2014 14:35, <[email protected]> wrote: > =ExistsText(%FAM.MARR.NOTE2%,"Mars Notes are available") > =ExistsText(%FAM.MARR.NOTE2%,"Hello") works for me, double check the note you are looking at is actually against the marriage fact.

Hi, Within Diagram Options I have used the following expression to try and indicate in a diagram that marriage noes exist for the couple. =ExistsText(%FAM.MARR.NOTE2%,"Mars Notes are available") unfortunately it does not appear to work. Can anyone correct this expression for me, or am I asking the impossible? Thank you, Nev.
