Hi Bonnie,
I believe Legacy would be able to do what you would like. For each individual you could create an "event" called 'membership status' and include whatever notes to this event if you would like. I would then create tags.. [Tag 1 active; Tag 2 inactive, etc.] Finally you would go into the search feature and create as search string to pull up all the records you are looking for and generate a list (i.e. have it locate all records which include a membership status event with tag 1 in the state of Iowa) Once you have the results of the search you can have the list include other details about the individual (i.e. name, date of birth, user id number, etc) Ange From: Bonnie <mailto:tutubon...@gmail.com> Stevens Sent: Thursday, April 16, 2009 1:22 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy User in Honolulu? Thanks for the response. Already tried all the help pages. The routine FAQ's do not address what I'm looking for. I am a regular user of another software package that I know can do what I want, but Legacy is said to be more user-friendly. If it can do what we need, we will purchase Legacy. But need to find someone who has experience with some of non-traditional applications of Legacy. For example, I want to add a field (in my software we call it a flag) for MEMBERSHIP STATUS in my organization. Within that field, I want a drop-down list of options: ACTIVE, INACTIVE, DECEASED, JUNIOR. Then I want to generate a report that will produce a list showing name, county OR state OR country of residence and Membership Status of everyone whose member status is designated [----] take your pick from one or more items on the selection list. In "my software" we call it a "list" report. Can Legacy do that for me?
