This has been happening to me for some months, maybe a year. I've never used Access or Ltools, only accessing the data in Legacy or Legacy Charting. I tried this morning and could confirm that it is always the same people who cause the effect. OK if I choose the RIN to be the sort order, but

Dennis, In the Name List Options I had only one tick for Include Married Names. When I ticked Include Alternate Names it jumps on target to the correct person. Unticking again it returns to top of list. I don't know why I would ever not want to Include Alternate Names so I'll continue to work

I asked the same question a while ago. I wanted to change the initial selection of a Source Writer template (that generates the fields), to another initial source writer template, as I discovered a much better template than originally selected. The answer seemed to be that was not possible.

Hi Ron. See the previous post just written by Jim. So far, that has not worked. It allows you to edit the source to an extent, but not to go back to the very beginning where you created the basic template for that source. You are locked into the way that source was created, it seems, and

Jerry, If you really meant to ask how can one change a template for a Source once that template has been selected, then the answer is that it cannot be done. This is pretty well true for every template for anything. Ron Ferguson http://www.fergys.co.uk/ -Original Message- From: Jerry

Yes, sorry, perhaps I should have worded that differently, but I said: How can I go back into a source writer source, from the very beginning of the process, to make needed changes? So, yes, that would be referring to the template. Thanks. --Jerry On 11/13/2010 2:05 PM, Ron Ferguson

Jerry, I'm still confused.  Do you want to change to an entirely different template, or do you want to change what you entered in a specific template? If the former, as has been discussed, it is not possible to make a global change.  You will need to choose the new template, set up the new

Very true, Richard, but each case would have to have a customised solution. Given the number of templates in Legacy and the number of possible switchings, there is no point in waiting for Legacy or anyone else to cover any, or all, of these options. So, one either has to write it oneself, or
