Hi,
I would like to report a bug to Legacy but first I would like to verify that
it is not just MY problem. (Maybe my 'unique ID' numbers are not unique or
maybe my 'merge.usr' file is corrupt or ??.)
I am requesting a volunteer or 2 to:
Export to Legacy file "temp.fdb" one person, perhaps yourself.
Import from Legacy file "temp.fdb"
Do an 'Intellishare merge' which will merge your duplicate to your original
self.
Verify that you do, or do not, get the same merge log message. (See my
proposed bug report below)
Of course make backup first and do check / repair afterward.
Thanks for any help.

(proposed) Bug in merge log
Whenever I complete an "IntelliShare merge" a popup message appears:
"Messages displayed about not automerging of Intellishare matched
individuals were recorded in a log file. Would you like to view the 'Merge
log' file? ".
I would expect this log to report something like:
Rin 26998 was merged to RIN 25222, etc.
Instead I get a report that has nothing to do with the merge:
"There are 760 individuals with a modified date that is before the start of
this IntelliShare merge process."
There follows a RIN sequential list of names. My wife is listed, I am not,
we both have the same modified date 2006-09-17.
This 'Merge log' file is only created during IntelliShare merges.
I would prefer not to see this confusing merge log.
A more helpful popup would say:
"It is reccommended that you do a 'check / repair' now as any duplicate
pictures or source citations referenced to deleted Individuals remain as
orphans."
(If a check / repair is done at a later date the resulting error log is
likely to confuse us.)
