At the risk of reopening a long discussion on what characters should and should not be used in filenames, I would suggest that there is no need to delete the apostrophe in people's names in Legacy. The only place I have found that the apostrophe causes a problem is in using the navigation arrows in the picture center and that has been confirmed as a bug by Legacy Support and turned over to the programmers. It is an inconvenience when using the picture center to navigate multimedia files. Bobby

Jenny, The reason I'm asking is, some recent posts got me thinking about making global changes in Legacy. There was a question about deleting apostrophe globally. I asked about MS Access because it is an excellent database program. I've used Access before, but actually MS Excel would be good too, but after all, it is a spreadsheet program. BTW, Regarding your comment: unless you really want to concern yourself with getting to grips with Access I wouldn't bother inquiring any further! If you don't like my comment, Don't read it :-) -- There are lots of thing which can be done more quickly or easily ny manipulating the basic database in Access rather than via the limited options in Legacy. But unless you really want to concern yourself with getting to grips with Access I wouldn't bother inquiring any further! -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
