Re: [LegacyUG] Newspapers - Australia, New Zealand

Can't you just paste the text into Legacy - as a source this would be the source detail text. That is where I put newspaper transcriptions in support of the data. Cheers, Brett B McL Robinson PO Box 1252, Hamilton 3240, New Zealand On 3/06/2020 8:15 pm, Ian Thomas wrote: Cathy – I don’t

Re: [LegacyUG] problem with my legacy database

Hi Cindy I can' see a reply to your question so far, so here are my thoughts: 1If you can, identify the next generation where names and relationship are correct, and work back from there. Decide which spot you want your existing confused individual to end up in. Check each parent/child

Re: [LegacyUG] Showing Event Photos on Webpages

Hi Larry There can be problems with images not showing on web pages if upper case is used in the file names for the images. As a general rule it is recommended to use only lower case file names to be loaded onto websites. However this is not necessarily a problem - in your case the files not

Re: [LegacyUG] navigating to associates

Hi Barbara You could try using bookmarks, but I don't think that is quite what you are wanting. It looks like a feature yet to be included in Legacy - a bit like adding a hyper-link within the database from any text. Another existing feature may be the shared event, but what appears to be

[LegacyUG] Children

I have been adding family details and have several families where my source (a descendant of one of the families) has merely noted the number of children, with no names. I am tempted to ignore the number, but realise that it would be useful to note it with the family to help as a check in the

Re: [LegacyUG] BRAND NEW? -- Spacing problem in .pdfs -- and in general Notes.

Hi Pat You may have received and answer by now, but in case you haven't, the problem appears to be with the original paragraph, where there are some codes between the words in some places that are not just the usual space. I don't know enough to identify what they are, but can see some when

Re: [LegacyUG] Source List Names

Hi. Further to below, if you use names that are structured so that similar sources are grouped together it helps, eg Census 1841 Scotland Census 1841 England and Wales Census 1851 Scotland etc. The words are sequenced from the general to the particular. Cheers, Brett B McL Robinson, Hamilton,

Further to the advice below about Legacy working from other folders, I have been using C:\Program Files 2\ for all my program files except those that come with the PC and operating system (they go in C:\Program Files\). Legacy has not given me any trouble set up like this. This makes it easy to

Hi Naomi - have you looked for individuals with the same name in different families/generations, where (by accident) you have the same one individual instead of two different ones? This is what Ron is suggesting, but it is not clear that you checked this. Cheers, Brett B McL Robinson, Hamilton

I have just tried and confirm that with Legacy open (not maximised) showing a split screen the Legacy window can be dragged across two monitors, so that the split coincides with the join in monitors. I have Win7 64 and similar but not matching monitors. Cheers, Brett, Hamilton 3240, New Zealand

Re: [LegacyUG] Surety

Re: [LegacyUG] UAC - Users Account Control

As an alternative I believe that all requirements are met when you use a folder C:\Program Files 2\Legacy\..., and you can also add all your other programs to C:\Program Files 2\ (to separate them from the Windows, system and other basic PC programs that run the machine). Cheers, Brett, Hamilton

There appears to be a subtlety to the way Legacy does this - if you repeat a source attachment (paste) from the clipboard to the same detail/event, Legacy will not attach the source the second time if the detail is exactly the same - only if there is some difference. This looks like the beginnings
