Unfortunately when File Maintenance, Check/Repair is run following the Access work around as Jim suggests, the Gender reverts back to the original setting.

Legacy won't let you do a same sex marriage or partnership. This may change in a future version of Legacy, but version 8.0. There is a work-around. Before you start, backup the family file. The first steps are exactly what you do when entering a straight couple. The change in sex is made in Microsoft Access. After adding the couple in Legacy (one will be male the other female), make note of their RIN numbers and close the program. Next open the file in Microsoft Access. Here are the steps: 1. Start MS Access. 2. Click on File and select Open. 3. Type *.fdb in the File name field at the bottom of the window and press Enter on the keyboard. Access will now see all files with a .fdb extension. 4. Browse to the directory where the family file is saved and open it. Change the gender of one of the partners: 5. Open the table named tblIR. 6. The IDIR field holds the RIN numbers. Use these to find an individual. 7. The Surname and GivenName fields are self-explanatory. 8. The Gender field holds the sex of the individual: Male = "0" and Female = "1". 9. Change the gender to be the same as his or her partner. 10. Save the file and close Microsoft Access Jim Legacy Family Tree Technical Support -------- Original Message -------- > From: "Sandy Inklebarger" <sandy...@gmail.com> > Sent: Friday, August 16, 2013 4:23 PM > To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com > Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Same gender marriage??? > > I tried the "Unknown" and once I put them as married & the marriage date it > shows with a "M" on the left & a "W" on the right.
