I don't know of any program using roles, that have a master list. I.E. TMG doesn't, RootsMagic doesn't and Legacy doesn't. All of these programs require that you create new roles for each event. Roles used in a census event may not necessarily apply to another event. If you maintained a master

Ron, While I am very new to Legacy, the software seems to be consistent with others of which I am familiar (specifically Genbox and RootsMagic) where there is a list of roles per event, but not roles across all events. In Legacy, if you select View Master Lists Event Definitions and select

It would be fairly straight forward.  A table of roles with links to the Event Definitions table such that each role would be related to the particular event type.  There could be duplicate roles in the table if a specific role was used in multiple events.  Or the roles could be un-connected

OneDrive does not have an option to pause syncing as does Dropbox and Google drive. If you don't pause the syncing while working on your database there is a high probability of corrupting your database. Ron Bernier On 11/15/2014 12:06 PM, Bob Sawyer wrote: Hi everyone, I'm a new user of
