Heeren, The easiest way to fix it is to go to the View tab, Master Lists and pick the Event Definition from the list. In the list you will find Fix this Event Type highlight that in the list and then click the button Show List to see who has the event so you can jog your memory of what the event is.
As for the Tagging if you have the Deluxe version you can display any three tags you wish. Go to the Advanced Taging screen Cntrl-T and change which tags to show on the Name list in the lower right hand corner there is a button to do this. From: Heeren Sent: Tuesday, May 20, 2014 4:48 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [LegacyUG] How do I find a specific Event ID #? I have spent most of the day working on a problem in Legacy 8.0.0.427. It started with the discussion here about unlinking disproved people/lines. Which made me think that I would really like to have the program put some kind of color/letter/designation of some kind next to people that you unlink since they show up in the Name List & when you are looking to see if someone you just found is already in your file it would let you know which ones are in or out. Made the suggestion. Was told how to do it with tagging. Did the tagging, using tag#4 only to discover that only the first 3 tags show on the Name List...I knew that... So...cleared out tag#2, tagged the unlinked people with #2, listed them again & went to each one to click on tag#4 to remove it. EXCEPT...I came to my 6th Great Grandparents...they are unlinked. My 5th G-Grandmother is shown as their daughter, she shows them as her parents. The have a marriage date, they are shown as married...BUT...he is listed as my 6th G-Grandfather but she has no relationship shown at all and they come up as unlinked. So, I started delving into that when I realized that "first" I should do a Check/Repair of the file since a new update was added just days ago. Did that...I coming to it...have patience... The first item in the Error.Log says: There are 1 Event Name record (s) referred to that have a blank event name. We have added a new Event Definition '!Fix this Event Type-1' and the following records now point to this new Event Definition. From the Master Event Definition List you can edit this record and change it to the correct value. Event ID=5295, Event Definition Name=, Event Location=, Event Desc=. The Event Definition Name is now '!Fix this Event Type-1' I know I'm getting old and am aging even faster today but, would some kind soul please tell me how to find Event ID 5295? None of the searches I have turned up seem to work with event numbers. Thank you for your patience, Sally -- Russell G. Strong P. S. Check out Legacy Family Tree today!
