Interesting. In looking for the display age option (which I'm sure now must have been a different program as it displayed always), I tried the relationship field and it simply remained blank so it's not automatically filled by default. For there to be a relationship there has to be a core person to calculate this back to. I imagine this will be in options somewhere and requires setting but to say it will be auto automatically filled may just confuse things a little. Actually just how is it accessed?

There are places all over Legacy where you can input information. Apart from the straightforward Names, Birth, Baptism etc which appear by default on the Individual's Information screen there are inputs for various fields in the Events/Facts section, there are several Notes fields - on the Marriage Screen, behind an icon on the Family or Individual Info views, behind the + signs next to the BMD fields, there are several address fields - Event, Mailing and Repository which are accessed from the + signs, or from icons or from the Source screens. In addition, there are various fields which are calculated by Legacy and which do not have to be input by you, such as Relationship or Soundex Code. If you add, for argument's sake, the Relationship field to the Family view, Legacy will fill this for you automatically. If you add, say, the Cause of Death field, you will need to click on a person's Notes icon, select the Medical Tab and enter the Cause of Death in that field. -- Jenny M Benson 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 Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
