I agree with you Kate. That is not asking too much.
A number of software programs maintain a website where known bugs are listed
and the dates they are rresolved. Does anyone know if Legacy does anything
like that?
Someone else suggested going back to version 6, but in moving to version 7
the database was modified and I am not sure it is possible to now go back to
6 except by using an older v6 backup.

Kate,
All that due diligence doesn't help when the problems are caused by
bugs in the program, advertised features that aren't working, etc.
Legacy needs to be up front about the problems by letting us ALL know
when a bug has been discovered and letting us ALL know when it has
been fixed. We shouldn't be forced into a trial and error situation.

Ron,
I appreciate your calm and logical approach for dealing with a new
program.
Your words proceeding with caution and in small increments are very
wise. If I remember correctly it took time, studying user manual,
viewing CD tutorials, and practice, practice, practice when I
switched from Vs, 5 to Vs. 6. Do we call that due diligence in
genealogy? Good results in your gathering of data.
Cheers!

I know that you are a long time supporter of Legacy and like
yourself I am aware of a number of bugs which still need to be
resolved (and let's not forget the pressure which some members of
this group applied to get V7 out).
However, these have not prevented me from continuing to publish and
update my web pages.
I have been careful only to move on a step-by-step basis. I have not
done a
bulk change of sources for example. I have the option set for the
Source Writer and do not change this but I have only introduced the
new formats for
new entries. So far this has covered, all UK censuses, BMDs,
Certificates, E-mails, Parish Registers and Personal. Whilst I have
needed to fill in some
of the boxes somewhat differently from the way they were intended I
have not
had problems. As time goes on I will slowly be transferring my
existing sources to the new formats.
Yes, I still hit problems, sometimes because it's just new and I
have to work out how to do things properly and others because of a
minor bug but I have consistanly managed to find a way of working
round them. Ron Ferguson
