I suppose one can use it for a variety of purposes, but I use it for the number of a hard-copy document I file away. I give each such document a serial number as I file it. I think I mentioned in another program that I use the Research Data Filer program (RDF) to index the documents. It has a description of the document, and, and an index of persons mentioned in the document. If I use that document as a source for information in every,y Legacy database, then I would give the file Id, so I can go straight to that document to see what it says. -- Keep well, Steve Hayes Blog: http://hayesgreene.wordpress.com Web: http://www.khanya.org.za/famhist1.htm E-mail: [email protected] 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://support.legacyfamilytree.com Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
