Hi Ian, 1) Yes,Legacy is Access based. Legacy is just the interface that allow you to add,delete, update,view etc... the informations in the Access database. A database for a Family file has 29 tables in the latest update and a table like the Individual Records table has over 110 columns and as many rows as you have individuals in your file. 2) For the Window Clipboard, Legacy is not different than any other Window program. If you can highlight text, right click, Cut or Copy you will be able to paste the content of the Window Clipboard into any field in Legacy whether it comes from the same Family file, another Family file or a completely different program (eg.text on a web page, text from a text file, a cell from an Excel file etc...). The same goes true for the reverse. If you highlight a field in Legacy then right click, Copy you will be able to paste the content of the field into any program that accept it or any other field in Legacy if you do not go over the number of characters limit of the field. If you are having problems with Copy/Paste it is not related to Legacy there must be something in your dual screen setting that is not correct. I might be able to help you more later this week since I intend to go dual screen too. Regards, Michel Lacoursiere [email protected]
Hi, No matter what i do, I cannot cut and paste from one file to another. I can copy/paste within the same file but not using two different files. Specifically: On the let screen/split I have myself open in the new database, on the right screen I have myself open in the old database. In the right screen I open up details, open an event, then copy it to the clipboard. I then close that screen (have to to proceed), click on the left database and the clipboard in now empty. It doesn’t matter wether I save or cancel in the old database, the result applies, “THE EVENT CLIPBOARD IS EMPTY”. So I set up two new databases in split screen and tried the same thing, same result. The clipboard does not hold data once I click on the different file in the other screen. Someone mentioned access (is Legacy accessdb based?). So in access database I tried essentially the same thing and same result.
