We finally abandoned our efforts so we could get on with our Legacy meeting. It is strange that the rest of our group hasn't had any problems with the latest update. For this reason, I suspect the problem is not with Legacy, but with our group leaders computer. Your thoughts are always appreciated.

Our group leader had just installed the latest Legacy update, before the meeting, and he had a really funky looking window. Some items appeared larger then they should be. For example, the right side of the Home View screen was gone. The Option button that is on the right hand side of the screen was not there. In the Family View, when we went to an individuals event view to enter a persons birth date a birth location, the word in which is located in the beginning of a location was hidden behind the location entry module. This made navigating through the program quite difficult. Since that meeting, I have updated to the latest revision of Legacy and didn't experience any problems. We still don't know what caused our group leaders problem.

Re: [LegacyUG] how to do coordinating with family matching to my data to new.familysearch.org
On Sun, 17 Apr 2011 17:22:00 -0400, Brian/Support br...@legacyfamilytree.com wrote: How does Drop Box handle the simultaneous use of the same file by more than one user? If two or more are using the file at the same time to make changes will both sets of changes be in the file after they quit and their amended files are uploaded to Drop Box? Hi Brian: I realize that you are not the OP... Some of us had this discussion a while back. First of all, we need to keep in mind that the Jet database is being updated by Legacy as you enter data, not at the end when you quit Legacy. Secondly, if the database resides in a Dropbox folder, Dropbox monitors the file for changes and only uploads the changed portion of the file. So if you make a change in a 20mb file, Dropbox will determine the chunk of the file that was updated (by some proprietary mechanism) and only uploads that chunk. Dropbox does have safeguards in place to handle competing updates ... I vaguely remember reading about this months ago. Google is your friend. I would definitely read up on this and create a bulletproof recovery plan before proceeding in this direction. And using Legacy in this fashion probably voids your warranty. ;-) -- Dennis Kowallek (LTools) http://zippersoftware.com/ltools/index.htm http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ltools NOTE TO LUG USERS: Use plain text if you want me to read your post.

[LegacyUG] Changing default file locations
Is there any way to change the default file locations within Legacy? Because I have so many families I have a directory where I break everything down va their surname, e.g. My Genealogy\Boles My Genealogy\Boles\Birth Documents My Genealogy\Boles\Death Documents My Genealogy\Boles\Marriage Documents Etc, and I have over 50 such directories Legacy's default locations are: C:\legacy\data C:\legacy\pictures C:\legacy\sounds C:\legacy\docs Etc Legacy won't allow me to type in a new file location and when I attempt to use the mouse/windows icon to identify the new location it takes me as far as c:\users but won't move down beyond that point. I am running Windows 7 so all my documents are located within the Documents directory under the Libraries. Has anyone found a workaround for this problem?

Otherwise everything is stationary and there are no problems, but this is annoying and frustrating.

Re: [LegacyUG] Mushed Pedigree Chart - Preview
The Ancestor chart or Pedigree chart? Your subject line says Pedigree chart but the body of the email says Ancestor chart. They're two different charts. The Ancestor chart looks fine for me. Try resetting the report options by clicking on the Reset button in the lower right corner of the main report window.
