Re: [LegacyUG] Modification Dates

[Kami Olsson-Tapp]

I agree, it is very useful to me for keeping track.  Unfortunately when I 
export data to post on my website, it appears as if all of my individuals 
were updated when they were not and my users get confused. You are correct, 
editing the gedcom does work, it sets the date I put in as the creation 
date and then it changes the date to "today" anyway (as the import date)!

I've found a way to suppress it on the export from Legacy which will serve 
my needs.

Thank you,

HI, IMHO there is no way to change it, but never felt the need to do 
so.  By going in and
"editting" the date through a Gedcom,  the program will probably do it,

used for the editting
process,  so it serves  other purposes.  I basically ignore it, and just 
do the 'real' work.
It is most useful if you want to re-verify info you typed in on a certain 
date. (Until it gets
 superceded again.

I've recently switch to Legacy from another program which did not include
modified dates.  When I imported my gedcom into Legacy, each of my
individuals was given a modified date equal to the date/time of import.
I was wondering if there is a way within the Legacy program to change this
date to something in the past?  I have not tested yet - could I solve this
by exporting, editing the gedcom for 1 CHAN, 2 DATE ..., and reimporting?
Is there a way to turn the modification tracking off?
