Re: [LegacyUG] Changing Source List Name

Brian, I only did the table edit in Access on a backup of the fdb file as an experiment to try to find the source of the problem. However, Millenia's constant lack of support for their user's use of Access or other similar tools to accomplish things that Legacy cannot currently do is (in my

Re: [LegacyUG] Changing Source List Name

Amen! And while the programmers are fixing things it would be nice if they would fix the scrapbook feature so that it would list document files (for example pdf files) just the same way it lists video and sound files. All that is needed is to use the same logic for the entry in tblBR when

Re: [LegacyUG] Search for Master Source by File ID

Cathy, DITTO THAT just spent the day cleaning out my document files of old documents and that was just for financial documents that are over five years old and don’t even pertain to genealogy. That folder is even bigger LOL as I am also trying to reorganize my files to be more consistent with

Re: [LegacyUG] Search for Master Source by File ID

Don, Have you sent in your suggestions? They don't get logged by writing to an email list. Use the link on the Home Tab. I only use File ID for hard copy sources and mostly they're in Source detail. I'm toying with using it more for digital files as I'm rethinking some of my organisation. Cathy

RE: [LegacyUG] Search for Master Source by File ID

Thanks, Cathy. That would work OK, but I’ll have to keep a pdf “open” for quick access and it would have to be updated frequently to be reasonably current. My suggestion would be to add a “Find by File ID” search box to the Master Source List. … and while your programmers are at it, why

Re: [LegacyUG] Search for Master Source by File ID

Don, I think the only way is to do a File ID Report and find your ID in that. You can restrict the report to Master Sources. (Reports - Other Reports - File ID) Cathy Don Quigley wrote: > > Does anyone know how to search for a Master Source by its File ID ? > > Donald Quigley > > Escondido, CA

Re: [LegacyUG] Search for Master Source by File ID

Personally, I create a master source list report (.pdf) with source list name and then do a search for some word that won't turn up too many responses.Then I use the source list name to locate the source. Pat On Fri, Feb 12, 2016 at 9:56 PM, R G Strong-genes wrote: >
