RE: [LegacyUG] Error in new version

The clue was “not an index in this table” The data wasn’t lining up correctly. I always like to think of a check/repair like the Windows “defrag” and “chkdsk” (though this might not be the best analogy if you ask one of the programmers). When you are working in your file making additions,

What would you consider a large file? Is there a capacity on Legacy?   My data entry is taking longer and longer. Also I am getting slower and slower... H Ian If at first you don't succeed, then sky diving is not for you. Ian Macaulay   Carp, Ontario Open at 10:AM   Close

Re: [LegacyUG] Error in new version

The only time I've seen a file go over the Access limit was a few years back when the person was a "name gatherer". He had been importing any gedcom he could find and eventually crashed Legacy. When I tried to look at the file in Access there were a gazillion "unknown" individuals, not to mention

Re: [LegacyUG] Error in new version

I have seen files with 500,000 to over 1,000,000 individuals! They're a little slow when you get up into those numbers but Legacy normally runs fine with that big of a file. The file size limit is set by Microsoft Access, the database Legacy is built on, to 2 GB but when you get close, you can

Re: [LegacyUG] Error in new version

Nan, have you checked out the Webinars that Legacy offers for free? They are wonderful & if you miss the live version you can still catch it free for a while afterwards. I especially like the ones that show how to use the Legacy software...it can do so much. Another plus is that if you do need

Re: [LegacyUG] question

Hi Donna, How aggravating! I would think you inadvertently clicked Cancel instead of Save. You don't say whether you were typing in General Notes, an Event Note or elsewhere. It's not such a bad idea to save more often. Another option is to do the typing in your Word Processor if that's set up

Nan Don't leave the group. Although there have been a few moans about problems recently it's not always like that. I've learned so much about using Legacy by reading all the posts here.  Do give it a bit more time Barbara Thomas Sent from Samsung Mobile Original message

Hi Sherry, My Legacy file now exceeds 438,500 names, 1.25 GB, and runs with no problems. I do have a lot of notes so I'll watch that 2GB file limit. Bob -Original Message- From: Sherry/Support [mailto:she...@legacyfamilytree.com] Sent: Monday, September 07, 2015 10:08 AM To:

RE: [LegacyUG] Error in new version

Whether you upload your file to the internet or not has no bearing. Regular check/repairs keep the data file on your computer in tip top shape which in turn means it will be in tip top shape if you export it in any format. Even if you have no pictures or documents attached the data file still

Good point. I will try it again tomorrow and see how it goes. I like the idea you suggested of typing in word. Sent from my iPad > On Sep 7, 2015, at 11:05 PM, Cathy Pinner wrote: > > Hi Donna, > How aggravating! I would think you inadvertently clicked Cancel instead of

[LegacyUG] question

I have just spent a half hour typing a large document into legacy only to find it has disappeared. This has happened a number of times to me. Anyone have any ideas what is going on. And yes I run file maintenance. Donna Newell Legacy User Group guidelines:

Re: [LegacyUG] Error in new version

Here is a dumb question before the group is finished with the discussion of the check/repair.  I am fairly new to Legacy.  I use it only on my computer -- not anything uploaded to the internet.  I don't attach any pictures or documents, but only put things in the notes section.  Is there any

Just my tuppence worth on this. This positive comment is good to see Sally. As a new user of Legacy, I joined this discussion group to help learn better how to use it. But, all I see are so many problems, issues and complaints, that I was seriously thinking of abandoning Legacy and buying

Thank you Michele. Good explanation and the check/repair worked. I'll start doing it once a week.Thanks for the fast response and fix to the problem. I've been using Legacy for years and you've come a long way. Gene "On some positions, Cowardice asks the question ‘Is it safe?' Expediency asks
