Hi Jenny,
I have the settings, correct, I have legacy in two computer I work mainly on my 
laptop, I use the PC as a back up, every month I restore the back up, to see if 
I still have I compare both files, lots of times I have data on the PC that is 
no longer on the Laptop, please keep in mind I only use the PC, I compare first 
then delete the file, and Restore with a new backup, I have done this for 
years, its been about 3 times this year that this has happened.
I the File maintenance and I gained over 00 people on y data base, I guess the 
missing data is back on the database, I sue to do file maintenance on when I 
got errors. next time I will save the code,Thanks for your help,I will now use 
File maintenance, once a weeks instead of when I get error, all back to normal 
for now.

We need a lot more information before we can help you.

Yoy say you are getting an error:  what is the Error Number or Message 
that you get?

Where is your media stored?  What have you entered at Option 6.2?  Are 
you getting any error messages when you try to relink your media?

Please try and explain exactly what you are doing and exactly what happens.

Re: [LegacyUG] Merging only a portion of one family file into another family file

2019-09-25 Thread Gloria DeSousa 
Cathy, Brian and all those who responded,
I did the "Tag and export the search list to a new Legacy file and either
review
those people with split screen or import them and then merge in the
correct file." I opted for importing and then merging in the correct file
(I understood the instruction to be one or the other). I finished the
checking for duplicates while merging, and discovered that all the
marriages have been duplicated with the same RIN numbers (number in
brackets). I can't merge of course, because it's the same individual.
Please tell me there's an easy fix for this :-)
Thank you all for your help,
Gloria

Re: [LegacyUG] Merging only a portion of one family file into another family file

2019-09-24 Thread Cathy Pinner 

George,

It sounds as if you don't have Legacy set up properly and you may keep 
opening a different file.


Check your settings at Options - Customise 1.2 that controls which file 
Legacy opens when you open Legacy.
Also check your settings at Options - Customise 6.1 and 6.2 which are 
your default locations for data and media.


Check the Recent File list to see if you are actually opening different 
files
The Recent File List is found by clicking the L top left corner of the 
Legacy screen if the L is larger than the title bar. If it isn't, you'll 
see a System Ribbon tab and it's on that instead. It depends on the 
Design Style you are using.


Make sure you understand that the backup on exit of your Legacy file is 
a backup file. Keep them safe off your computer. They are only used when 
needed. The data backup is used by opening Legacy and going to File > 
Restore File. Backup is not the way the file is saved. Your family file 
is saved every time you click a Save button.


Re the error. You don't say which error you are getting. But the first 
response is to use File > File Maintenance - Check/Repair.
This should be done regularly to keep your database healthy. It may take 
quite a while especially if you've never run it.
See http://support.legacyfamilytree.com/article/AA-00749  for help on 
using Check/Repair.


Your media won't keep getting disconnected if
a) you are using the same file all the time in Legacy and
b) if you don't move the media on your computer.

If you are really loosing other data between sessions, it's an 
indication you are actually using more than one file in Legacy. The 
other reasons people think they've lost data is that they are looking at 
a screen with the wrong tab open (eg the Notes screen) or with a filter 
on (eg the Assigned Sources screen or To-Dos).


If you haven't read some of the Legacy Blog posts read these:
https://news.legacyfamilytree.com/legacy_news/2018/05/compilation-of-legacy-101articles.html
and the series referenced in this one:
https://news.legacyfamilytree.com/legacy_news/2019/09/tuesdays-tip-options-message-boxes-beginner.html

And keep up with the current series.
This weeks Tuesday's Tip is on the File Ribbon Tab/Toolbar
https://news.legacyfamilytree.com/legacy_news/2019/09/tuesdays-tip-file-toolbar-beginner.html

You'll soon be as familiar and comfortable with Legacy as your were with 
PAF.

Gloria,
You were given the best answer on the Facebook group by Brian Kelly some 
time before any responses here.


For others who get into this muddle:
Search > Find > Detailed Search tab

Individual Modified Date after the date you started using 
the wrong file


Tag and export the search list to a new Legacy file and either review 
those people with split screen or import them and then merge in the 
correct file.
Note there will be people in this list that you haven't modified IF you 
use Save instead of Cancel when you just open someone's information to 
take a look.


Bottom line: If you make a new temporary file for some reason, delete it 
when you are done. When it is open, use File > Delete File.

Re: [LegacyUG] Merging only a portion of one family file into another family file

2019-09-24 Thread Bob Austen 
Hi George,



I can’t imagine that the issue is with Legacy unless you do not have your 
settings to properly go to where your files are.



Legacy is a very stable and excellent program. I have been using it shortly 
after it first came out.  I switched to Legacy from FTM as I needed a program 
that would handle a larger database.  I have used PAF and keep current on a 
couple other programs as well. I have 486,000 names in my file and a media file 
with 14,000 images and have never lost any data or had trouble with media 
linking. I do keep Legacy up to date. I am running windows 10 on a high end 
computer with Intel i7 processor.



You haven’t elaborated as to the error message when entering an individual. Is 
it always the same message?

You ‘keep losing data’ – is this data that’s lost after it has been entered? 
When do you notice that the data is missing? Is it when you reopen the program? 
 Do you have only one database file? Or opening the same one each time? Be 
careful that you are not opening up different files each time.



Be sure that Legacy is set to look for the proper files.  Make sure that the 
drive your files are on isn’t running out of room. Legacy usually defaults to 
the data and media files being on the same drive as the program. This usually 
means drive C:/ This drive is usually a smaller capacity on the newer computers 
and you could quickly run out of room.  I have my working files on D:/ and C:/ 
is only for program files.



Again, it is very doubtful that your problems are with the Legacy program. 



By the way, please don’t hijack another thread with a new issue.  Start a new 
thread.



Regards,



Bob

Re: [LegacyUG] Merging only a portion of one family file into another family file

2019-09-24 Thread Chris Hill 
I think you need to do this.

On the file that you were modifying you need to locate all of the modified
individuals and export those to a new database, and then merge that file
back into your original file.

You can find the modified records by using the search to look for everyone
with an update date after you started working on the wrong file. Then put a
tag on those entries and use the export against those by using that tag.

Merging those, and only those, will mean that they will be the only ones to
merge.

Chris

[LegacyUG] Merging only a portion of one family file into another family file

2019-09-24 Thread Gloria DeSousa 
Hi,
For whatever reason I can no longer recall, I began a "new" family file
using  my older family file, meaning it was the same file but different
name. I obviously then forgot to move to my main family file to continue
doing my usual inputting of information and where I do all my work.
Unknowingly, I kept working on this "new" file for 11 days before I
switched back to the family file I always work with, and the only file I
want. I want to move only the portion that is new from the new file to the
more established file, where I should have been inputting information in
the first place. I tried many things, such as importing the entire "new"
file into the established file but with over 30,000 individuals in my tree,
that produced 900,000 duplications to review based on the criteria I chose.
I tried the help index, read up on tagging and hashtags, to no avail. Is
there a way to do this?
Thanks for any help,
Gloria
