I applaud what you are trying to do. I was going to reply to your first email but I was at work and couldn't do it then.
I have been around and around about the legacy access database. There are a few things I wanted to do and when I asked for the schema I was very clearly told (Sherry) I couldn't get that information and shouldn't be reverse engineering their design ... without signing up as an authorized developer and sign a non disclosure with them. I did that, got some information but it was clearly very disappointing to see their documentation. So after awhile, I've given up. I'll use legacy until I can find something better. And until then I'll continue entering shared events multiple times, and trying to plan how I want the reports to look before I enter data - two very clear deficiencies (poorly designed DB) IMHO. I was going to sign up for your list but I'm tired of trying to find new ids (my standard id is already in use) and more importantly trying to remember them. If these lists can't use something that is (already) unique (like email address) I won't use them. I know this is petty but .... I wish you the best in your efforts and if there's any info or discussions you CAN have on Legacy, I'll catch it there. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve > Hayes > Sent: Wednesday, February 08, 2006 10:18 AM > To: Genealogy software > Subject: [LegacyUG] Genealogy software development > > A few people have responded positively to the idea of having a genealogy > software development forum on YahooGroups, so I've started it. > > If you are interested, you can have a look at it here: > > http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gensoft/ > > I've already sent invitations to some to join it. > > -- > Steve Hayes > E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Web: http://www.geocities.com/hayesstw/stevesig.htm > Phone: 083-342-3563 or 012-333-6727 > > > Enter the drawing for a FREE Legacy Cruise to Alaska or a FREE research > trip to Salt Lake's Family History Library.
