Hi Roger,
No Legacy has to be installed onto the actual
computer. I know a few programs these days can
be installed and run from external drives but not many.
I assume you are asking because you want to move from computer to computer.
You can have your databases and media on an external drive.
Joseph,
I agree with all of your steps and also follow the same process myself.
In the merge process I take it one step further before I begin the main
merge into my masterfile, I 'clean-up ' the smaller file location names and

I'm stuck on how to do a mass replace for a family name at one point a

Since I presume there are people in the file who legitimately retained
the surname of the parents you cannot just edit the existing surname in
the Master surname list, that will apply the change to everyone.
Legacy does not contain a tool to change the surname for a tagged list

Unfortunately there are no options to limit a Search Replace operation to a
given tag set or the Search List or Focus Group (sounds like a good enhancement
suggestion), but I think you could limit the effort of doing it manually by
making the edits in the Edit Tab of the Search List window.
Hi all,
I reset the Ancestor Book options and that fixed my report. I had not

I hope I'm not repeating too much already found in previous posts, but,
since we don't have a Location Merge function, would it help to do these

Hoping that the Legacy programmers fix the file importing and merging
problems. I lost a lot of info on an import from another copy of my
Legacy data a while ago. Appeared to lose Ancestry numbers, etc.
Following your recommendations might have helped, but it should not be
