Re: [LegacyUG] Wrong sex for wife
Marie, Then you linked her wrongly. You should have added her to the existing relationship with the children - and you presumably have checked that her husband is male? You need to unlink her and with her husband and children on Family View, click to add wife and then link to existing person and make sure add to this relationship is checked. Sorry that's not the exact wording but you should see what I'm talking about.

Re: [LegacyUG] Wrong sex for wife
Marie, If you were using Legacy 9, you could just change her gender. In Legacy 8 you need to unlink her from her partners, not her parents, in order to be able to change gender. If she only has one partner and the partner has the wrong gender as well, you can use Edit - Swap husband and wife. If she's not supposed to have a partner (has no children) then you'll need to unlink from the hidden erroneous partner. If she has a child, then she automatically has a blank/unknown partner (see Options-Customise 3.11 for whether this is blank or unknown).

When she is shown on the screen with her husband and children she is listed (color wise) as a male. Her parents do not show up with her when listed with her husband. When she shows as a child with her parents she is called a 2nd great grandmother. How do I get her to appear with her parents as a female and with her husband as a female AND linked to the right parents on her marriage screen?

Re: [LegacyUG] Shared database problem
That actually seems to be correct!! You are attempting to access, as the L:, a folder in a different PC. In order to do that, your laptop NEEDS to know where the location in your desktop is, before it can locate the folder. Therefore it does not know where to point the L: drive to. Using File Explorer will enable that access, and will remember that you use the L: drive to access the Legacy folder, and hence you will be able to access the file directly or through Legacy. There is a solution to this, as follows 1. On the desktop, on the Legacy folder with your files, you need to set it up for Sharing and give it a Share Name. You, if you have not yet, need to right click on the folder and then on Properties. Within the Properties window, select the Sharing pane. If the folder is already shared, it will tell you the Network Path of the folder. If it is not shared, it will say Not Shared and you will need to click on the Share button. You will then need to attach it to a user, usually your user id or your HomeGroup, and then click on the Share button. The system will then give you a display shows that the folder is shared with a Network Path of \\DesktopPC\sharename, then click on Done to complete the sharing. Note that the share name may include the folder path to find it. 2. On the laptop, you need to create a short Batch file to make the allocation of the L: to the shared folder. This just needs two lines, like these : net use l: /d net use l: \\DesktopPC\sharename The first line will remove any existing mapping to the L: drive. If there are blank in the share name, you will need to wrap it by quotes - net use l: "\\DesktopPC\share name". Save this as a text file with a .bat extension and place it on the desktop. You can then run that file whenever you need to get access to the Legacy folder. You can also auto-run it by placing it in the Startup folder, which is located in C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup so that the laptop will run it when it boots, but that would be dependent on the networking and desktop being active by then. Hope this helps.
