I have a somewhat different problem with importing GEDCOM files which is not covered by that article. At the moment I first enter my genealogical information in my main file in a program called Family History System (FHS). I periodically export data from that file to my main file in Legacy. So I might export RIN 13500 to RIN 13600. But if I import them directly into legacy, the RINs are scrambled, and do not correspond with those in the original program. My workaround for this is to first import them into PAF 4.0 (and do a clean-up there) and then import directly into Legacy from PAF (ie with no intermediate GEDCOM file). Apart from the fact that I'm using a PAF file instead of a Legacy file, this is in accordance with the advice given in the article. My concern, however, is this: PAF has now been discontinued, and though copies may be floating around, fewer people will be using it, and one day Legacy might abandon the option of direct import from PAF. Is there any way that Legacy GEDCOM import could be modified so that it does NOT scramble the RINs during the import process? -- Steve Hayes E-mail: sha...@dunelm.org.uk Blog: http://khanya.wordpress.com Web: http://www.khanya.org.za/stevesig.htm Phone: 083-342-3563 or 012-333-6727 Fax: 086-548-2525 --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://support.legacyfamilytree.com Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
