The one thing that Legacy misses is an editor. I can understand that to
a degree, but there are points like this where it would be useful to
search and find a block of data and then make a change against all of
them. Of course, that needs knowing what the user might what to find and
what to change, and in which of the many data fields in the tables that
he wants to modify and in what way.
This is, of course, a classic IT issue with an IT solution, and one that
I could deal with, but not one that I would recommend to non-IT person.
The answer is that the Legacy database is actually a Microsoft Access
data file. Therefore, with Access it is possible to use SQL to modify
fields in the various tables or selected queries. I will not go any
further - if you have the correct IT experience you will know what I am
talking about, and if not then keep away from that route.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Changing location name based on event year?
I have been laboriously cleaning up my locations in Legacy 9. I
decided that all events in the US that took place before 1783 should
identify "Colonial America" for the country. After 1872, all US
locations should identify "United States" as the country.
This may not make sense to some, but it is something that I want to do.
Does anyone know how this might be accomplished without changing them
one by one?
Dave
