Re: [LegacyUG] How to query in 7.5

[CE WOOD]

I am so glad you were able to help her. As for me, I never set my relationships 
to 999, which as you say, would be ridiculous (and yes I have gotten back to 
medieval and earlier times). What I am most interested in is direct 
ascent/descent, although I find it interesting to discover the ancestral 
relatives.

Well I thought she wanted relatives. But if not, you just do it for the
whole Name List.
Still works.

Anyway have had a private email from Patricia thanking me and that she
found what she wanted.

Re the Relationship settings to 999 - unless you've got very complex
multiple lines of descent from multiple people - as in the royal
genealogies/medieval genealogies, as I think you do, it's a waste of
time to set it so high.
Set relationships doesn't give you non-blood relationships beyond
immediate in-laws. The Relationship Calculator does.

Re: [LegacyUG] Blank boxes

Laurie,

Have you restarted your computer? That might help. If it doesn't and you 
haven't changed colour scheme, contact Support.


I think you're talking about the Individual Information screen? or 
Add/Edit Event?

I wouldn't panic. It's a display problem of some kind.
Also you should have a current backup.
