Hi Ron, Thanks for the encouragement. I've never done any creating of web pages -- I think that will remain above my ability level for some time! I've only just started playing with reports (and have ordered the Legacy video on reports).
I'll try a bit more experimentation in the future -- problem is that I'm not sure what I want to accomplish yet! In appreciation, Brian -----Original Message----- From: k...@legacyfamilytree.com [mailto:k...@legacyfamilytree.com] On Behalf Of ronald ferguson Sent: Thursday, April 02, 2009 3:27 PM To: legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Disproven Birth? Brian, I know that with Legacy it's a pretty steep learning curve, and one of the great things about it, which also steepens the curve, is its flexibility. when I first started I played and played to see what effects various ways of doing things would affect the presentations. As my main interest is in the web pages this meant spending a lot of time changing something, creating a web page, deciding whether I liked it and changing it if I didn't. In fact I still do this when Legacy makes changes eg with the source writer and can usually come up with something that I feel OK with - if I can't then I don't change it (assuming I still have that option!) The other thing I did was to click everything, both left and right. Actually I do this with all programs which are new to me. You can't easily break anything but do make sure that your data is backed up.
