We are putting the issue to GenesReunited. If I look at the Incoming GED it has the "1st Alternative Name" as NICK & the "2nd Alternative Name" as ALIA. It appears that Legacy puts both in as GIVN of equal status, because when I delete either of the Alternative Names in Legacy the other assumes the Status & Position of "1st Alternative". Legacy exports them as GIVN & GIVN.
That means, & should be noted that, if there had been an intended Status difference in the Prog from which the GED originated it is lost in Legacy. Q1. Can these GED labels be "drafted" to specific labels in Legacy, especially ALIA which is likely to apply to a Surname rather than a GIVN or NICK name? Q2. How do you access Legacy Tables to view &/or Print? John ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dennis M.

John: Before you go trying to delete the evidence, you should try to figure out the exact steps needed to duplicate the problem. Is it an FTM bug? A GenesReunited bug? Or a Legacy bug? You can open GEDCOMs in any text editor and examine those to see what is being exported/imported. Then report the bug to the appropriate org. P.S. I would not advise deleting rows from tblNX unless you know what you are doing. Rows in other tables (like tblSX) might contain foreign keys that point to rows in tblNX. If you delete rows in tblNX without taking these into account you might lose some citations. -- Dennis Kowallek (LTools) http://zippersoftware.com/ltools http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ltools SNIP Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
