    1. Re: [FHU] Fact Sets HELP please

    3. <<snippet>> I have created a lot of custom fact sets AND I have amended the wording on nearly all the standard facts sets so that they read in sensible English when creating narrative reports. I am going to upgrade to v4, and cannot work out how to create a fact set so that I can export the whole lot and import into the new V4. <<snippet>> If you are simply upgrading from V3 to V4 on the same PC, then I believe you do not have to do anything. FH V4 will install over FH V3 and automatically inherit all standard and custom definitions. However, just to be on the safe side you should use Windows Explorer to make a copy of the following folder and all its sub-folders: On Windows 2000 & Windows XP = C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Calico Pie\... On Windows Vista & Windows 7 = C:\ProgramData\Calico Pie\... In your particular example the Fact Sets are stored in: ...\Calico Pie\Family Historian\Fact Types\Custom\***.fhf (One file per custom Fact Set) ...\Calico Pie\Family Historian\Fact Types\Standard\Standard.fhf & GroupIndex.fhdata Then after upgrading to FH V4, if any Fact Sets or other definitions are missing you can copy them back. If you need even more detailed instructions then please just ask. Are there any other settings or preferences that you may want preserved?? If you are installing FH V4 on a different PC from where FH V3 is currently installed then there are extra steps needed - just ask. Regards, Mike Tate
