Jenny, There are a total of 13 standardization warnings. I am asking for the ability to globally turn off each one individually. Right now, you can either turn them all on or off.
I really like most of the warnings, just not the ones that warn me of, 1) Check for illegal characters in the name field, 2) Too many dashes in the name field and 3) Mixed case. Plus, I get this one - "Surname: If you are guessing a name, you should put your guess in the Research Notes, not a name field. If you do not know the name, leave the field blank. Put nicknames and alternate names in the AKA field" - every time I use [--?--] for an unknown name I am asking to be able to turn off each of the 13 standardization warnings individually, globally, in order to keep all the rest in force for the whole database. I want to do this in the Options>Customize>Other>Turn off or on Optional Reminder Messages, not on each individuals information screen. I hope this made it clear what I am asking for.

I must be misunderstanding what it is you are asking for because we can already "turn off the standardization warnings individually." You can uncheck any of the Standardisations you don't want to check for - such as illegal characters or too many dashes. You can run a PP report with particular options checked and then mark each individual "Mark as not a problem" or you can tick the box on an Individual's page for "Exclude from potential problems." What more do you want? -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
