Now I am >not sure whether to do it or not. Elizabeth has not gotten back to me to confirm this, but the problem seems to be as I suspected. Here is the solution I sent her... 1) Go to Options | Customize | Data Entry. 2) At the bottom of the screen where it says "Rule for generating default names", select "0-None...". 3) Click "Apply. 4) When that finishes, select "1-Replace...". 5) Click "Apply. It turns out that something had dorked up one particular Legacy database table (tblNX). In particular, the married names that Legacy adds to tblNX somehow had gotten hosed over. Fortunately, one can simply delete them all and re-add them using the steps I have outlined above. But don't ask me what screwed them up in the first place ... maybe it does have something to do with renumbering RINs. I don't have V7 Deluxe so I can't easily test this. This is at least the 2nd time I have run into this problem (trying to help LUG'ers out). The first time was in May 2009. It makes me think that the bug that is causing this is still present. Maybe Sherry wants to enter a bug report on this. -- Dennis Kowallek (LTools) http://zippersoftware.com/ltools http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ltools 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
