I am trying (with the Manual's help) to duplicate a custom view on a second Family File.
I have created a Census view, with each year's census and the memo field associated with that census. I went to the Manual, which suggested that I go to the file which has the view I want to duplicate. I drug the view onto the desktop, closed that file, went to the second file and dragged the view from the desktop to the view preferences of that file.
What I get is the .26 file of the attached screen shot.
What I want is the .36 file of the attached screen shot.
In other words, the view is not carried over faithfully.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
(I have found that I can export a blank family file with the structure I want and import the information into it, so I have a work-around. I am still interested in why this won't work.)
