Re: [LegacyUG] Book Printing

[Cathy Pinner]

Trevor,

Look at the Report Options for the particular book you are wanting to 
create.

Click the Report Options button
On the Include tab you'll find Addr. ...
On the Notes tab you'll find checkboxes for these notes.

However, you can't include vital event pictures in a book.
They are included, if chosen, in an Individual report or Family group 
report.
If you want them auto added to a book, you need to link them to a custom 
event instead.

Make sure you do File > File Maintenance > Check/Repair regularly.
It has a compact within it but I don't know if it is as extensive as the 
separate one.

It has many other elements that are vital to keeping your database healthy.
Databases need maintenance.

Thanks for your advice, Chris.  I am such a novice at the ends and 
outs of Legacy, I panic when something weird happens.  I’ll stay away 
from Compact Family Records from now on.

Hi

That is good to hear. The Compact, ignore my earlier email, should not 
remove any information. All that it does is to compress the various 
tables to recover space that had been used by deleted entries.


Basically, Access never overwrites space that had been used by deleted 
records. It always just adds new data at the end.


I would not normally expect to use Compress unless I had been deleting 
a lot of records.

There are several webinars but most seem to about capturing and organizing

I did find this link:
https://familytreewebinars.com/download.php?webinar_id=568
to a webinar titled: Using Pictures with Legacy Family Tree it is not in the
free list so you will need a subscription to view the whole thing.

That can get your started.

Thanks Cathy - I would have probably forgot to do a Check/Repair and it's

Re: [LegacyUG] migrating to new computer

[Cathy Pinner]

Jim,

If you are taking the opportunity of upgrading from Legacy 7.5 to Legacy 
9 as you switch computer and you haven't been linking media, that's a 
great plan.


Restoring a backup is the easiest way to change to a new computer as 
well as the easiest way to upgrade from 7.5 to Legacy 9. As part of the 
restore process you'll get a message about needing to do a file 
conversion so Legacy 9 can read the file. That's nothing to stress about.


However it would be best to do a File Maintenance - Check/Repair of your 
file on your old computer first.
Make one backup, do the Check/Repair and then make a new backup to use 
on the new computer.


Cathy

Been a long time since I needed to change computers, so want to 
confirm my "plan".
On the old computer with Legacy 7.5,  I will do a Back Up of my 
current data file, to a Thumb drive, renaming the Back Up. "New Family 
File (date)".
On the new computer, I will install Legacy 9.  Open it and select 
Restore Family File, then navigate to my Thumb drive and select the 
"New Family File (date)".
I have not been linking multi media files to my current family file on 
Legacy 7.5, so should not need to worry about those files needing to 
be moved.

Is this the right way to do it?
Anything else?
TIA,  Jim

Re: [LegacyUG] Running compact family file

[Chris Hill]

Hi

This should only take a few minutes. If half of the dialog is missing then
you should be able to drag it back into vision. Then see if there is a
button waiting for a response.

Do you have a current backup, which you should always do before running
Check/Repair. If so, restore that and run the Check/Repair again. If you
get an error messages - write them down and then go to the Legacy support
site to see if it is a known issue. If not then raise an issue with them.

Regards

Chris

Re: [LegacyUG] migrating to new computer

Do not destroy your old file and triple check your new files, including any
tools you might use.

Without thinking,  I would upgrade my computer first and then after all is
working upgrade my Legacy on the new machine.
I would worry about too many things changing at the same time.

[LegacyUG] migrating to new computer

Been a long time since I needed to change computers, so want to confirm my
"plan".
On the old computer with Legacy 7.5,  I will do a Back Up of my current
data file, to a Thumb drive, renaming the Back Up. "New Family File (date)".
On the new computer, I will install Legacy 9.  Open it and select Restore
Family File, then navigate to my Thumb drive and select the "New Family
File (date)".
I have not been linking multi media files to my current family file on
Legacy 7.5, so should not need to worry about those files needing to be

Is this the right way to do it?
