We shouldn't have to work around Legacy problems, Ron. We all know by now
that you have no interest in following the instructions and are quick to
respond, sometimes incorrectly, to almost every problem cite, always
acting
as a sycophant for the Legacy people.

Ruth,
I know that you are a long time supporter of Legacy and like yourself I
am
aware of a number of bugs which still need to be resolved (and let's not
forget the pressure which some members of this group applied to get V7
out).
However, these have not prevented me from continuing to publish and
update
my web pages.
I have been careful only to move on a step-by-step basis. I have not done
a
bulk change of sources for example. I have the option set for the Source
Writer and do not change this but I have only introduced the new formats
for
new entries. So far this has covered, all UK censuses, BMDs,
Certificates,
E-mails, Parish Registers and Personal. Whilst I have needed to fill in
some
of the boxes somewhat differently from the way they were intended I have
not
had problems. As time goes on I will slowly be transferring my existing
sources to the new formats.
Which marriage screen have you been unable to change the overwrite
wording
in (and have we ever been able to)? It is not something I have found, but
then I haven't wanted to either.
What check boxes are not sticking? - some weren't initially but I have
not
recently noticed this problem, so I took it that it had been resolved.
The
Help Index seems to me to be exactly the same as it was, apart from the
addition of the new entries, and to date I have not had a problem with
it.
Yes, I still hit problems, sometimes because it's just new and I have to
work out how to do things properly and others because of a minor bug but
I
have consistanly managed to find a way of working round them.
Ron Ferguson

I have been such an advocate for Legacy in the past, but find its
problems
with Ver. 7 and no knowledge of when they will be fixed makes me
wonder -
has Legacy gotten so far ahead of itself that it's lost sight of what
its
use is? If I can't produce a report that prints properly, if I can't
check
a
box and the check sticks, if I can't change the wording overwrite in the
marriage screen and have what I want said print in a document, all it's
good
for is - me - to collect information. As it stands now I can't share
information with anyone. What good does the Geo location do me when I
can't
produce a report. Source writer - my sources are fine - I didn't need
anything better. The Help index is so hard to use. I can't find the
topic
I'm looking for Help with because the titles are beyond understanding.
What
has happened to Legacy? It's become a huge disappointment for me. Can we
get
back to the basic Legacy program and correct its bugs, please?
