Hi Don



That sound great. Is it code that you want to share and make public?

Jerry,



FYI – I solved the problem by writing some Excel VBA procedures to modify the 
GEDCOM file from Legacy to assign shared events directly to each person.  Works 
in TNG and Ancestry.

Don, I'm sorry I don't have an answer for your dilemma, but TNG also maintains 
an email list for its users and it has quite a few programmer types involved 
there as well as the owner/creator of the software.  If there is a way to do 
what you need, they might be able to help.  A large number of them use Legacy 
and TNG.  Here's the link to join the email group:

Jay,



That works for the “delete” lines, but doesn’t help with the “add” lines that 
are needed for the “secondary” individuals to get their “own” event.



I don’t want to give up the Share feature of Legacy because it’s a big time 
saver.  But I do want accurate trees in Ancestry to help with my research, and 
in TNG (though I’m just starting there) to get my tree on to the Web.



I ‘m going to play around with importing the text GED file into Excel and 
writing some VB macros to do what is needed.  Was hoping to avoid that effort.

Don.

Try Using Notepad++  for editing your gedcom

Search for
2 _Shar

and select the "find all lines with this"

then repeat the process for the 3 _Role

Then at least you can see all the lines and I think you can even delete them 
all at once.

Otherwise I would just go back to Legacy 7.5 and use that to keep in sync.

The partial GED file below shows that the changes are not complicated and could 
be made manually in a text editor – except for the fact that family files may 
have 100s or 1000s of shared events/individuals. Way too many to do by hand.

Are you sharing the VBA procedures?

I, too, experience this problem when uploading to Ancestry.com.

I've converted all of my census events (among others) to Shared Events and 
would be interested in your workarounds if possible.

Thanks,

Re: Re[2]: [LegacyUG] Modify GED File to Remove Shared Events?

[Dave Keeney]

Are you sharing the VBA procedures?
I, too, experience this problem when uploading to Ancestry.com.
I've converted all of my census events (among others) to Shared Events and
would be interested in your workarounds if possible.
Thanks,
Dave

RE: Re[2]: [LegacyUG] Modify GED File to Remove Shared Events?

[Don Quigley]

Jerry,



FYI – I solved the problem by writing some Excel VBA procedures to modify the 
GEDCOM file from Legacy to assign shared events directly to each person.  Works 
in TNG and Ancestry.

Don, I'm sorry I don't have an answer for your dilemma, but TNG also maintains 
an email list for its users and it has quite a few programmer types involved 
there as well as the owner/creator of the software.  If there is a way to do 
what you need, they might be able to help.  A large number of them use Legacy 
and TNG.  Here's the link to join the email group:

Jay,



That works for the “delete” lines, but doesn’t help with the “add” lines that 
are needed for the “secondary” individuals to get their “own” event.



I don’t want to give up the Share feature of Legacy because it’s a big time 
saver.  But I do want accurate trees in Ancestry to help with my research, and 
in TNG (though I’m just starting there) to get my tree on to the Web.



I ‘m going to play around with importing the text GED file into Excel and 
writing some VB macros to do what is needed.  Was hoping to avoid that effort.

Don.

Try Using Notepad++  for editing your gedcom

Search for
2 _Shar

and select the "find all lines with this"

then repeat the process for the 3 _Role



Then at least you can see all the lines and I think you can even delete them 
all at once.

Otherwise I would just go back to Legacy 7.5 and use that to keep in sync.

The partial GED file below shows that the changes are not complicated and could 
be made manually in a text editor – except for the fact that family files may 
have 100s or 1000s of shared events/individuals. Way too many to do by hand.
