Kris,
Free Passage Express creates a way to view media and send a copy of
your Legacy file and a link to download the Legacy installation file.
The Deluxe version is no longer available and perhaps the free version
isn't either.
Although it sounds good, it actually doesn't deliver something that is
easy for people who aren't very computer literate.
Generating Legacy web pages and burning them to CD or putting on a thumb
drive or in Dropbox or something provides a much more user friendly
experience as most are familiar with navigating web pages.

Hi, Sherry!
Thanks for the quick response! I had no trouble finding and adding the
PE icon to My Toolbar, the window pops up to install the free version,
but then the web page I'm redirected to throws a 404 error:
http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/PassageExpressFreeVersion.asp
FYI -- Creating web pages and burning them to a CD is a last resort
option, but I'd really like to avoid that. :-)
Thanks!

Arthur, not everyone wants web pages. Passage Express doesn't create web

Kris, you can add the icon for PE on the My Toolbar ribbon - click on
the
little block in the lower right corner of the My Toolbar ribbon and drag
the icon to the spot you'd like to have it.
If you need to install PE, it will tell you when you click on the
icon to
start creating the CD.

Hello Kris.
John Cardinal wrote SecondSite, a program to Convert TMG into a HTML
file. Produces a wonderful Internet Site, I really liked it. I used
TMG for years, when my daughter and my sister-in-law became interested
in genealogy I changed to Legacy, an easier program to learn. Since
the demise of TMG I started using Legacy as my only program. John, at
the request of many TMG users produced a program that converts GedCom
files into HTML (converted SecondSite). GedSite is now available at
http://www.gedsite.com
Had had a quick look at it and appears very good, same as Secondsite.
The above site also has a description and how to use section. The cost
is $25.00 USD.
Hope this helps.
Best Wishes.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Passage Express?
Yes, I'm taking the easy way out, but I've done SO much digging the
past couple of weeks trying to figure things out, I'm not going to
feel guilty about it. :-)
I had a vague memory about being able to create a self-contained,
auto-run CD to share with family. Couldn't remember enough about it to
know what to look for in the help files, but some Googling leads me to
believe the Passage Express add-on is what I was looking for.
Unfortunately, the links to those pages on the Legacy site are 404. I
*did* find Passage Express in the store.
I'm guessing the free add-on it no longer available -- yup, I'm quick!
Is there an alternative? I'm wanting to create something like this for
family members and it must be completely "I Know Nothing About
Computers" fool proof.
Thanks!
