Could just be a display/refresh glitch. Is the parent icon dimmed out? If you click on the parent icon, do the parents show on the list? Did you try going to the parents to see if the person still appears on their child list? Did you check on any of those you did before your dinner break? Did you try Check/Repair?
If the links really are gone, I hope it is just those last 3. I would think you could find the right parents to link to using the info in your rtf. Otherwise, I hope you have a recent backup. Until you can identify exactly what happened and why, it is difficult to say how to keep it from happening again. If it is just the last 3 records, then it may be that something in Legacy got lost or scrambled when you screen/power saver kicked in. That's not supposed to happen, but it would seem the likely suspect. If the problem extends beyond those 3 records, then there is something wrong fully internal to Legacy that the programmers will have to fix. But it's awfully hard to find what if the problem is not repeatable. -----Original Message----- From: singhals [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, January 25, 2014 7:51 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [LegacyUG] Oopsie -- people are unlinking themselves It's probably something I did, and if so, just tell me how to fix it, don't make me feel worse about it. (g) However -- I printed to rtf a descendant narrative book (over 1100 pgs of it) so I could find the places I have notes in General rather than Research. I'm using the v8 I d/l Monday, on a win7 32 bit box. It was working nicely, no problems, for the first 170 pages. I broke for dinner, then came back. Did exactly what I'd been doing: moved a note and saved; but this time the parents vanished. Huh. Ok, I'll come back to it later and fix that. Went on along to the next spot, moved the note, saved, and the parents vanished. What the...! Ok, more cautiously, one more time -- and sure'nuff, I've now got at least three people unlinked from their parents. What happened? How do I keep it from happening again? Is there an easier fix that back-counting those ugly Henry ##?
