To answer the original question, if I'm understanding it correctly, on the Report Options Format Tab, ensure that "Don't repeat duplicate lines" is checked. Does that give you what you want, or at least close to it, as far as your reports go?
I have longed wished for a warning that I may be about to enter a duplicate person, as some programs I've used in the past do, but alas it is not available on Legacy. Connie From: T Bredin [mailto:[email protected]] I have a married couple that share/have the same grandparents but different parents. I guess this makes them second cousins. I did not notice this when I input the data for this couple as each's data came from different sources. Later I connected them by deleting one copy of the grandparents and hooking the 'loose' children to the remaining duplicate grandparents. When doing the 'ancestor' display, the ancestor chart in V7, and the ancestor chart in Charting there is nothing to call these common grand parents to my attention as each 'ancestor' line from the married couple lead back to separate listings/boxes of the same grandparent people. (if shown, the person-id is the same for the same person at the different location in the ancestor chart. ) My question is, does anyone have a trick, or method to highlight this on reports/charts/screens? Would you expect Legacy to warn you when entering data that a 'duplicate' seems to exist?
