Re: [LegacyUG] Error window wont close

[Jack Reynolds]

A big THANK YOU CHRIS. I used restart and when it reopened the Legacy
program was closed. I opened it and my main family  in the program I had
been using was in good shape.
I am going to stay off of Legacy for the rest of this afternoon
but will runCheck/Repair.tomorrow.
Excellent advice. Thank you.

Here are updated notes on how I use Legacy to help identify and track DNA 
matches. I use lots of different Legacy features but mainly hashtags and events.

This link will be valid for a month. It's a PDF file you should be able to 
download.

Thank you Chris for the fast reply.and your guidance with this problem.
Fortunately yesterday I made a backup copy on a thumb drive of Legacy
Family Tree folder with the latest Backup I had Legacy save. I also
have OneDrive.
I will let you know how I make out on this issue.

Re: [LegacyUG] Error window wont close

[Chris Hill]

Firstly, Legacy always saves information every time you close a display 
for people, marriages, events etc. So, normally there should not be any 
issues with force closing the program or PC, which is all that you can 
do. When closing the PC, use Restart, not Shutdown, since that will 
ensure that every thing is completely closed.


Secondly, after the restart load your Legacy file, take a backup and 
then run Check/Repair to get the program to scan through the various 
links between the data. Save the report file and use that to identify 
problems that it had found. You might need to run that multiple times as 
you make changes.


Thirdly, if your file does not load and you are left with no open file, 
you can force a Check/Repair and specify the file to be scanned.


If that does not work, then you can restore from a previous backup, and 
change the file name.


If you still have issues, then you will need to raise it as an issue 
with the developers.


Regards

Chris

Subject [LegacyUG] Error window wont close


I hope this message gets to the right spot.
My Legacy program is frozen. Here is the situation:
one sibling in the family died less than 2 years old. The Legacy 
program shows her married. I checked everything in the Marriage record 
and nothing shows a marriage.
I tried to cancel the Marriage record for the child and a window opened 
up stating

ERROR
Marriage was not found.

Clicking on the OK box just makes it flash and nothing else.
A red circle X when clicked does nothing.

The X in the upper right cornor of the screen to close that page is 
grayed out so nothing closed.


The rest of my laptop PC is fine. I put the PC on sleep and then opened 
it again but nothing changed.
I didn't want to shut the PC down and reopen because I don't know what 
that will do to my Legacy records, etc.


Your help is very much needed
