I have tested and confirmed this is a problem when converting a Version 6.0 Database directly to version 8.0. A problem report has been submitted to have this fixed.
I was able to convert a version 6 file to version 7 without the conversion to uppercase problem. That version 7 file was then converted to version 8 without problem. If you wish send a backup of your original version 6.0 file to [email protected] with the subject line "Legacy 6 to 8 conversion". I will use the two step conversion to create a version 8 copy with mixed case details. If you do not want to send me your file you can download a copy of version 7 to convert the file yourself in two steps. copies of older versions of Legacy are available here: http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/helpDownloadVersion7.asp That will only fix the original file though, you will have lost all your additions since your update to version 8.0 Brian Customer Support Millennia Corporation [email protected] http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com On 23/06/2014 11:17 PM, Jane Tripp wrote: > I purchased Legacy 8 Deluxe for a new laptop running Windows 8.1 64 bit. > Legacy Deluxe 6 is on my old laptop. > I converted & restored my 6 backup to the new Legacy 8 Deluxe. > The Basic Source System *Detail Tab* Information is now all caps in 8. > > I didn't notice this at first and have added sources to my database. > I see that my *new* and *converted* Basic Source Details are in all caps. > > I did *edit a detail* and I can rewrite the detail so that it shows up *as > typed* not in caps. > I was hoping for a global fix to change my uppercase problem. > snip > > Thanks, Jane - Legacy user Deluxe Versions 4, 5, 6 & now 8, BUT really not > using all options.
