RE: [LegacyUG] citing land entry files

2015-05-19 Thread Brian L. Lightfoot

When opening an Individual Information window, the cursor will automatically 
appear in the next empty vitals field. Many times people have a birth date 
entered but no christening or baptism date entered, thus the cursor will appear 
in that empty field. So what you are seeing is a normal function. If there is a 
date in the christening field, but no death date, then you’d be seeing the 
cursor in the death field.

Hi Cathy, I did not think that it mattered where you were when you added the 
source.



Whenever I open an Individual’s Information dialog box, the cursor is blinking 
in the christening field.  That’s all I meant by that.



I just went back into my ancestor where I added the land entry source.  It’s 
there – in the christening field.  I tried to edit the source, and I got the 
runtime error message I cited.  When I tried to close it, I got the dialog box 
I was referring to – “Edit Mater Source Definition – Christening.”  When I 
close this box, I am bounced out of Legacy altogether.



It may sound as if I don’t know what I’m doing, but I’ve added many sources in 
the past without incident.  I don’t know what is happening here.  I  checked 
out Error 9, and I have the current build date (26 Feb 2015) and version 
(8.0.0.473).



I consider myself fairly computer adept, and have not had issues with Legacy in 
the past.  I feel at a loss as to how to proceed.

Hi Barton,
It doesn't matter where you are before you access the Add Master Source button.
I'm usually using the Source Clipboard, click on the Change Master Source link 
to access the Master Source List and realise I haven't already made a source 
for this data and so click the Add button.
But I could be on the Assigned Sources for an Individual screen accessed by 
clicking the books icon which is on all entry screens and on Family View. Then 
click the Add a New Source button instead of the Cite a Master Source.

If unsure if you are adding a Source correctly, check out the Videos available 
on Sourcing. There are a number and some of them are free including Sources 
and Citations Made Simple, Standard, and Powerful
http://www.familytreewebinars.com/legacy_videos.php

I have no idea what you mean by a christening diaog box or what you mean by the 
default position of the cursor.

Re errors. Have you discovered the website troubleshooting help?
Check it out and see if any of the Error 9 fixes help.
http://www.legacyfamilytree.com
Help Centre
Troubleshooting Help.

Instead of staying with this source that is causing you so much trouble, you 
might try entering a different source and check that is error free. Also, it's 
quite a good idea to practice with the Sample database rather than with your 
own file. That can avoid errors that may have crept into your file because you 
haven't run File Maintenance - Check/Repair which is needed to keep a database 
healthy.

Clicking on Alt Tab simultaneously brings up the menu you cited, as well
as the run-time error '9' menu.  The move/close menu appears on top of
the error menu.  I am able to move the run-time error 9 menu around the
screen after clicking on move, but this buys me nothing.  If I click
on OK on the error menu, I am bounced out of Legacy.


Why am I getting the run-time error 9 menu, and how do I resolve it?

Brian, I continue to have issues.  Here is what I did.  First, I removed
the existing source I had created which was showing up in the
Christening field.  Then, I deleted the Master Source altogether so I
could start from scratch.  Then, I created an event using Residence. 

It is not clear to me where I should go to add the source for this
event.  I do not find any instruction on adding Sources to Events in
Help.  I assumed I just clicked on the Source icon at the top of my
screen while I am in the Individual's Information dialog box.  This is
what I did.  Now in the Assigned Sources dialog box, I clicked on Add a
New Source.  I entered 11.23 to find the EE section I want, and selected
homestead files  basic format.  I filled out all the fields.  I went to
repository and clicked on the ... to add the repository.  I filled out
the fields and clicked Save.  At this point I hear a ding and I am
taken back to the Step 2. Fill in the fields below dialog box  My
screen is frozen and when I click Alt I get the Run-time error '9':
Subscript out of range message.  Clicking OK at this point bounces me
out of Legacy.  I checked this error as Cathy advised and it says to
make sure you have the most recent build and version of Legacy, which I
do. 

When I go back into Legacy and go to my ancestor for this event, I see
the event listed in the Events/Facts field.  When I go into my Master
Source List, I see there is a blank source at the top (before trying to
create the new source for the land entry file I had purged all unused
sources from the list).  The new source I had started creating is not

Please advise as to fruther steps I should take to resolve this issue. 
Thank you.

It doesn't matter where you are before you access the Add Master Source

I'm usually using the Source Clipboard, click on the Change Master

But I could be on the Assigned Sources for an Individual screen accessed

Instead of staying with this source that is causing you so much trouble,
you might try entering a different source and check that is error free.
Also, it's quite a good idea to practice with the Sample database rather
than with your own file. That can avoid errors that may have crept into
your file because you haven't run File Maintenance - Check/Repair which
is needed to keep a database healthy.

 bounced out of Legacy. It was here (before being bounced out) that the

 Since neither Cathy nor I can duplicate your problem there is no fix
 needed. The repository selection button simply opens the current list
 of repositories in your file. Legacy has no pre-defined repository
 data. If you do not see any list you have not created any repositories
 for that file.

 If your screen freezes when your try to add, the screen to add a
 repository may be behind the Legacy screen. This happens occasionally.
 To try and bring the hidden screen to the front try tapping the Alt key.

 If that does not work try using ALT-Spacebar to call up the windows
 Screen manipulation menu. If the hidden screen is off the visible
 monitor that menu will pop up on an edge of the monitor depending on
 where the hidden screen is located. Select move from the menu then use
 your arrow keys to move the screen unto the visible monitor area. For
 example if the menu was on the left edge use the right arrow to move
 the screen from left to right.

 You could also try adding NARA as a Repository from the Master List
 View Master Lists Address Lists Repository This will also cause
 your freeze problem if the off the visible screen
 problem exists since the Add button on the Master Repository Address
 list opens the same screen as adding from the source input.

RE: [LegacyUG] citing land entry files

2015-05-18 Thread Barton Lewis

Hi Cathy, I did not think that it mattered where you were when you added the 
source.



Whenever I open an Individual’s Information dialog box, the cursor is blinking 
in the christening field.  That’s all I meant by that.



I just went back into my ancestor where I added the land entry source.  It’s 
there – in the christening field.  I tried to edit the source, and I got the 
runtime error message I cited.  When I tried to close it, I got the dialog box 
I was referring to – “Edit Mater Source Definition – Christening.”  When I 
close this box, I am bounced out of Legacy altogether.



It may sound as if I don’t know what I’m doing, but I’ve added many sources in 
the past without incident.  I don’t know what is happening here.  I  checked 
out Error 9, and I have the current build date (26 Feb 2015) and version 
(8.0.0.473).



I consider myself fairly computer adept, and have not had issues with Legacy in 
the past.  I feel at a loss as to how to proceed.

It doesn't matter where you are before you access the Add Master Source button.
I'm usually using the Source Clipboard, click on the Change Master Source link 
to access the Master Source List and realise I haven't already made a source 
for this data and so click the Add button.
But I could be on the Assigned Sources for an Individual screen accessed by

repository,
there are no options (NARA should be listed). When I try to add NARA
myself, the screen freezes and I am forced to shut down Legacy. This
was an issue with another source template some time ago. LUG
support,
can this be fixed please? I want to add these important sources
to my
database!

Thanks,

Barton

Hi Barton,

Yes - the EE section number.
The field is on the screen where you choose a Source Template - the
top field which can be used to search the templates.

Hi Barton,

There's a virtually hidden feature for finding the template
corresponding to EE.

You can type the section number into the What kind of source do you
want to cite field.

Hi Cathy, so are you choosing the same template I did (Section 11.23 ...
Land and Property records Homestead files Basic format)? Is the
Repository line not blank, and when you click on the arrow, there are no
options? I clicked on the + to add NARA, and I freeze. But that's
not happening to you? What would the setting difference be that you
referred to?

I'll await submitting a bug report in case we're not on the same page
here and you're doing something different than what I'm doing. I
appreciate your help.
