What happens if you write your own sources? I still use 8 since I don't have a tree online. I started to use Leagcy long before it offered "Source Writer" and hesitate to make the jump to 9. Marie

John Lisle wrote a more comprehensiveexplanation of the update now that we have had a few minutes. Legacy 9 Update 279Yes, we have been promising another Legacy 9 update for days... It is herenow. Yes, it fixes the Error 62 problem with Family group Report. (I am surethat many of you will be glad of that!) It also fixes a number of other issues that you can see from the revisionhistory. I am not going to go into all of them as you can read that list,and most are self explanatory. What I do wish to share with you are a few very visible changes. First, we discovered that we needed to check all of your source records aswe were finding that many users have records that are missing a field neededby FamilySearch. It does not hurt your data, but it does make it difficultto transfer sources properly to Legacy FamilySearch and other tools. When you open your Family File for the first time with this update, you willsee a display where is says "Checking Sources" This may take a short whileif you have a lot of sources. Do not worry. This is not changing any of yoursources, but, after it is complete, your sources will now transfercorrectly. Another major changes is that, in response to numerous requests, we havedone a major revision to how we handle the various IDs you see displayedwhile running Legacy and that you add to reports. We have this project about90% complete, but it is so much better that we did not want to hold up a newupdate to resolve the last few issues as they are relatively minor. (Yes, Ianticipate some of you dinging us for anything missing; we do want to hearfrom you to tell us if we are missing something you think we really need!) Before you start working with this new update, we need you to open theCustomize tool and go to option 8.2 and set it up as you want numbers todisplay in Legacy. The Option 8.2 settings will now have no effect on any reports! Option 8.2 has 2 sections: "On Family, Pedigree, and Descendant Views"and"Show RINs on all Name Lists" The first section, if checked, will allow you to display a RIN and/or one ornone of the "non-RIN IDs" after names in Family Viewm Pedigree View, andDescendant View . The non-RIN IDs are: AFN, User ID, FamilySearch ID, or FindaGrave ID.RIN will be displayed in square brackets after a name, eg. John Smith [231].The non-RIN ID will be displayed after a name as {L8SJ-WLR} in curlybrackets. The second section, if checked, will add RINs to Name Lists. That, ofcourse, includes Search Lists and Share Event with lists. It will add themto Marriage lists, Show Lists, Name Lists in Master Location List, etc. Andit is supposed to be smart enough to assure a RIN is not shown twice. IE,Show Lists normally have a RIN column; we do not add a RIN to them. The Relationship Calculator has its own RIN control and that worksindependently now of Option 8.2. Similarly, Chronology View on its DisplayOptions Formatting tab now has an independent control to display BOTH RINsand MRINs. Reports All reports now have their own independent controls to determine what IDswill be shown. The number of IDs that a report will be able to display isdependent on what we felt was necessary or feasible for the Report. All Reports will have an option as part of its Report Options to displayRINs; many will also have MRINs; some will also allow you to select ONE ofthe non-RIN IDs; and some will also allow you to select all of the non-RINIDs. The display of the IDs will be done on a report with labels so it is clearwhich ID is being displayed: RIN: [nnn]MRIN: [MRIN: nnn] Non-RIN IDs: AFN: {AFN: nnn}User ID: {UsrID: nnn}FamilySearch ID: {FSID: nnn}FindaGrave ID: {FGID: nnn} This is the design. I am sure you will find a few glitches as there are alot of tools to check and different user settings may give differentresults.(John Lisle) Michele Simmons Lewis, CGRLegacy EducatorLegacy Family Tree/[email protected] www.legacyfamilytree.com -- LegacyUserGroup mailing [email protected] manage your subscription and unsubscribe http://legacyusers.com/mailman/listinfo/legacyusergroup_legacyusers.comArchives at:http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
