Tim:
Per your request for a repost of my problem and
Dennis' solution, here they are.
My original problem:
I have never changed a RIN. I have changed MRINS.
When I view the INDEX, I show up as my maiden
name and as my married name correctly as RIN #1.
I also show up for my married name as RIN #8
which is my husband's grandfather with all of his
information in all columns except the name column
(his grandfather also correctly shows up as RIN
#8). I.E. #1 is my maiden name and my married
name (correct). RIN #8 is my married name
(incorrect) and my husband's grandfather
(correct). When I double click my listing for the
incorrect RIN #8, my husband's grandfather pops on the screen.
The same situation has occurred for my husband's
grandmother (correctly RIN #7 for married and
maiden name) whose married name also shows as RIN
#2 which is my husband with all of his
information in all columns except the name column
(my husband also correctly shows up as RIN #8).
When I double click my husband's grandmother's
listing for the incorrect RIN #2, my husband pops on the screen.
The same situation has occurred for my husband's
aunt (correctly RIN #11 married and maiden name)
whose married name also shows as RIN #3 which is
my father with all of his information in all
columns except the name column (my father also
correctly shows up as RIN #3). When I double
click my husband's aunt's listing for the
incorrect RIN #3, my father pops on the screen.
The three errors occurred with RIN 1 (me), 2 (my
husband) and 3 (my father) and only for the married name of the women.
These errors also show up when using the SEARCH function.
Any ideas how to correct these 3 additional
assigning of incorrect RIN #s for the married names of the 3 women?
Dennis' solution:
Cathy and I have (sort of) resolved this off list. I thought I would
post the solution for anyone else that sees this problem.
I took a look at Cathy's tblNX. tblNX contains, among other things, the
married names. Her tblNX married names were all dorked up. I suggested
she turn off married names, then turn them back on. This caused the
married names to be regenerated and solved her immediate problem.
The bigger question remains ... what dorked it up in the first place?
Was there a bug at one point that later got fixed? If so, shouldn't the
new release have rebuilt the married names? Or is there still a bug out
there?

This sounds a bit like my problem where the
same person was showing up twice in the Index
(Name List) and one of them showed all the
information of an incorrect person except the
name, was attached to the spouse of the wrong
person and when you clicked "Family" to go to
that person, it took you to the incorrect person. (Man, this is confusing!)
Dennis Kowallek, maybe you can confirm that
this sounds similar to my problem and perhaps
the same solution will work for her that you suggested for me?
Lisa, I'm not saavy enough to give you advice, so wait for *Dennis'* comment.

Good morning
Please excuse me if this isnt the correct forum for this email.
I have been using Legacy for the past few
years and have been extremely happy with the
programme. I am using Legacy 7 and regularly
check for upgrades. I am using Windows Vista.
Today I opened my file to discover that when I
click on one of the children in one of my
families (A) I am taken to a totally
different individual (B) with no links whatsoever to the first person (A).
I have opened the Name List window and can
select the individual from that window (A)
the correct parents etc are shown in the
right-hand window but Spouse information for
person B is shown. When I Select person A
from this window I am taken to person B with
no connection to person A at all.
Person A never married and I have no marriage
links at all for them. When I go into Person B
directly there is no common information or link to Person A.
These two people are from totally different
branches totally different names no connection at all.
I have a backup copy of my data but this has
shaken my confidence in the programme Im
not sure now how widespread this problem might
be I have over 3,000 individuals in my file.
Has anyone else experienced this type of issue
any suggestions for fixing it?
Regards
Lisa Faulkner
