Re: [LegacyUG] Deleting and reinstalling Legacy

Realised I didn't mention the most common reason for Legacy not being 
recognised. It's been blocked by your anti-virus program which has 
quarantined or deleted the Legacy.exe file.

Reinstalling Legacy usually fixes it. For some reason it isn't deleted 
the second time.

  Jane,

Autosomal DNA tests aren't under the DNA symbol in Legacy as the results
 are very different and can't be entered with a few numbers. People are 
adding an Event and attaching the results file or recording where 
they've stored it. The results are several MB.

Some are also using Events to keep track of matches. 
With Legacy 9 people are using Hashtags.
There's been quite a lot of discussion on this in the Facebook Legacy 
User Group.

Still using version 8. I add to name suffix box, "DNA Chr 1 match

  like to be able to include a lot more of the DNA match data.
Also is visible in reports and books sent to cousins and other

Anyone have a really good way of doing this in Version 9?
Must be able to easily search all the DNA data in Legacy!
I can not handle using extensive DNA spreadsheet data and
  updating. Expect Legacy to do that for me.

Re: [LegacyUG] Event problem - was (no subject)

[Brian Kelly]

You should not be trying to put the notes into the sentence override. 
That is designed to use codes for things in the event and is limited to 
255 characters. The code for notes is [Notes]. When the sentence is 
created in a report Legacy replaces that code with the content of your 
event notes.

Oddly enough, when I was working on my file a couple of days ago i came

Jane,
You could edit the Event Sentence Definitions for Occupation so that 
they all just read [Notes] which may not be what you want for other 
people with an Occupation event.


Either work with the Event Sentences.
eg you can change the definition to [FirstName] worked at [Desc] ...
or [FirstHeShe] worked ...
[FirstHeShe] alternates the first name with he/she for events.

OR use the Sentence Override for Elizabeth and just add [Notes] there.

I have an event note.  The  heading is "Occupation".  I have written 
the note to start:  "Elizabeth worked at"


The orogram sticks "She was employed" in front of the sentence I have 
written.  So it says "She was employed. Elizabeth worked at"


How can I get rid of the first three words.  I have tried everything I 
can see to remove it.

Good to know you have recovered.
All the best with your research.

It is comforting to know than when something weird and unexpected 
happens to the file, Check Repair fixes it.

I was able to restore an earlier version of the file from my Crashplan 
backup for the day before I used the Search and Replace. Curiously, it 
showed no instances of the characters I was trying to replace. I then 
went back to a version two days before and 3 days before and same 
thing. I know I didn't click on Replace All. I didn't even get to the 
screen which shows the first one to be replaced. I still don't know 
which 183 instances of the characters it thought it replaced.


I will save the current file and do a Check and Repair.

Sorry Jennifer,
Only you can decide whether it's worth reverting to the most recent 
backup you do have.


Search and Replace is really powerful. I rarely use "Replace all" 
button until I'm absolutely convinced it isn't finding anything I 
didn't intend.
I'm not sure that changing the citation text via search and replace 
updates the modified date. Some things don't.

Thanks, Cathy.

My reason for asking was that I was doing a search and replace in
Citations>Text, and I was very surprised when I got a notice saying so
many items were replaced. I had no chance to see whose data was
changed. I can’t reproduce this so it was probably something I did
inadvertently. I hadn’t done a backup before I started unfortunately.

Yes and No
It depends what you are asking.
If you want people modified on a certain date who haven't been
modified since - yes.
If you want the particular data that was modified for a particular
person on a particular date - no.

For the former - Detailed Search
Individual - Modified Date - equal to -

Is it possible to search for an individual’s data modified on a
certain date?
