[LegacyUG] Legacy and Access

2009-04-20 Thread SgtBob
Since I have heard that Legacy and Access are intertwined, is there any data written out that explains the columnar headings and their uses within the various Access reports. I am particularly interested in the correlation of the numbers noted in the columnar headings of 'SrcDetail',

Regrettably, all of my sources are embedded in my notes. Is it possible to view my family in split view mode with my family in both windows. Can I then view my notes for Individual1 in window 1 and then edit the sources of Individual 1 in window 2? My objective is to be able to view the notes

Simple answer: Yes. When you use SplitView, simply don't select a different family file. Better yet, make a copy of your family file, then open that one as a second file, but do all of your editing in the original. If you run into a problem you won't lose anything. Mike Michael J Method

You could copy the notes for the individual to Notepad and then edit the sources with that information displayed in Notepad. In Legacy, select the individual and open the Notes. In Windows click Start - Run, then type notepad in the box and click OK. Back to Legacy, select and copy the desired

Janet, Your question is very vague and I wonder if you could be more specific. Windows and Vista operate quite differently and store data in different places. When you installed Legacy7 from the Web on your Vista machine, did you follow the instructions for Legacy? You say: I did a backup

If you do the rename in the Picture Center within Legacy, all links to that file should be updated. If you do the rename outside of Legacy, you would need to relink every occurrence. Hope this helps. On Mon, Apr 20, 2009 at 2:23 PM, Brian Beddor bbed...@japsolson.com wrote: Welcome back!!! I

To me Janis is doing what the standard is; the name of the woman, if the married and maiden name are used, is first name (maiden name) married name.  But what Randolph was being told is that the order is first name, married name, maiden name.  That is very strange indeed and I would not want it
