Well now they say they fixed it!!!  Only time will tell.   It a very
good piece if software and I USE IT! And I RECOMMEND IT!  But it has
many bugs in it,  if its used to its potential!  And as you say they
seem to ignore there problems and work on bells and whistles!

If they don't fix these errors it will fall by the wayside as people get
there data bases larger and larger and that is happening on a regular
schedule as many are just coping off of  ? Ancesrty.com and importing
them in!  But what ever.   The import part of Legacy needs a lot of work
its so slow you can go to sleep  just waiting for !  If one doesn't
believe this all they need do is try the same file in another program.

When importing in sometime people are in the file,   but won't show on
your screen??  You can restart the software and they will be there??
Its probably just a video problem!  You some times can ask it for a RIN
number it won't find that number? But restart it and it will!

The drag and drop feature is great !!  when it works!   Sometimes it
will not work till you reload!  Then sometimes  you can drag a person
into your data and  this person don't show on the screen?? Again
probably  the same !  Sometime when you drag a person in it will skip
the merge process and you got to go dig him out?  Well if its one person
that not to bad  but if it was a family it's a rather large job.

You can get a run time error and lock up the computer!!!  When you
reload, You can find your notes on the people you were working on messed
up. I have had it put words in every where!!!!!  Big problems,  But at
least with the Search and Replace feature  you can find them and remove
them  MAYBE!!  If you get a runtime error you had better do a cold
boot!!!! Or you can have big problems!!!

It is a very good program and I think most  don't use it up to it's
potential  and probably have very little trouble  But I can see this
little old person sitting here! With these errors !  Now what do I do
wait till my grandson comes over to help me??  Cause 9 times out of 10
you will not get a answer.  Just a reload the software and it will go
away!  That not a cure that's a small fix!

You say you hope they listen? They will listen  if its discussed right
here often enough   All these people are being used  and if you don't
think so just read the mail.

As I say GOOD SOFTWARE JUST NEEDS SOME REPAIRS DONE!!  And ISUPPORT IT
ON AS MANY AS 100 DIFFERENT WEB PAGES.
And their comments about Microsoft!  WONDER WHAT THEY WOULD BE DOING IF
HE HAD NOT COME UP WITH WINDOWS?   Maybe they would be in the soup lines
as they mention! Maybe you don't like windows but it sure works every
day!!


Take care

Gene

I hope someone will listen to you, I have been trying for months to get
attention to these issues and it has been useless. All I get are a bunch
of
very time consuming work arounds. Good luck.

Has anyone out there had the dreaded ERROR 3022  where you can not enter
anyone new in your data?  Can not find the next deleted Rin number! It
will be there sooner or later! And it sure needs fixing bad! When you
have a rather large data base it takes hours to redo it so it will
work!!
