Re: [LegacyUG] Log of Changes
Carol, You can do a search for individuals with a Modified Date after some particular date and get a search list with those people. It does not give the specific changes, but should show you who has been changed. Does that help? john. At 09:29 PM 7/19/2020, Carol Booth wrote: What a shame this hasn't been added.

Re: [LegacyUG] Log of Changes
What I would do is to periodically output your data to a Legacy gedcom file, then log it into a git repository, or an SVN repository which could be stored on your hard drive. I use the git GUI from github. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GitHub It is free. Here is a button on their page to download it: https://github.com/ This is used a lot by software developers who have to track their version changes, and roll back their code if they break something. It is also used if there are a lot of people working on the same software. Maybe an easier way is to load your gedcom (the Legacy version of gedcom, not the 5.5 version) into google doc's -- the word-processor. That keeps a great log of changes and facilitates multiple people to work on the same document. To do this you would have to completely overwrite all the data in the Google doc's file every time you update it. I don't know if that would break Google's log of changes. Last March, Google made an API available for their google doc's collaboration stuff. It would be nice if someone came up with a genealogy tool that would let multiple family members collaborate on the same genealogy database. -- Larry Maddocks On 7/19/2020 8:29 PM, Carol Booth wrote: What a shame this hasn't been added.

Re: [LegacyUG] Log of Changes
Lee, Think of it this way... When you click on a data field in Legacy to make a change, Legacy doesn't really know whats there, it just knows to save whatever you put there. even if you dont change anything, Legacy is still re-saving that data to that field. It wouldnt really know that that data was the same from the original. So your recording log would show many data fields that actually didnt have any change, but that you touched/ entered. Additionally, what if you went in and out 4 or 5 times getting a place name just right, each one would be stored as a change, your report would be FULL of thousands of lines of the tiniest of changes and many with no real changes at all. In some cases it may check to see if the data is in a specific format or check for some other detail, but I dont think it's storing original data anywhere. (other than in the sense that it doesnt overwrite the field until you click to the next field, so if you were in a field and started to type, but the used the ESC key to back out the original data is still in the field) At least that is my understanding of how Access Database code works, maybe a Legacy programmer can explain better.

Re: [LegacyUG] Log of Changes
I have pondered about this a few times. It may be possible to compare one Legacy database with an older copy and display the differences. The process would involve keeping backup copies of the database which is probably already being done and then having the computer compare two files for differences versus the already available Compare Two Files for Duplicates. Every difference could be reported along with the modified date for that person. While each specific change might not have happened on the same date for a particular person, marriage, event, etc., they could still be identified as changes within a known time frame which may suffice. At the very least, an Intellishare Merge could be executed between the older copy of the file and the current version and each difference would show on screen for records that have changed. All that is lacking is a printable report.

Re: [LegacyUG] Log of Changes
Just to continue being annoying this week -- much-maligned PAF has had a log since v2 -- maybe earlier, but I didn't have it until v2, back in the early 1990s. It had other flaws, but it did log changes, for which I've thanked the Almighty more than a couple times over the years. Chryl Carol Booth wrote: What a shame this hasn't been added.

Re: [LegacyUG] Log of Changes
:) Up to a point, you're right. But, so long as it still runs on one's computer, it's perfectly fine and keeps on logging. Ron Ferguson wrote: Hmmm.

Re: [LegacyUG] Log of Changes
PAF has the same logging as Legacy. PAF tracks the last changed date for a person, it does not, as the OP asked, track changes to individual bits of data nor will it say if the person was changed more than once on the same date.

Re: [LegacyUG] Log of Changes
Not that I am aware of, I do not think Access works like that so we cannot ask MS Access what changed and Legacy just saves all the data from an input screen without doing a before and after comparison of every data item.
