Bill,
Just tried attaching a pdf file and an Excel xls file using the "sound"
and "video" links. Both opened fine from within Legacy . . . I also
am using 6.0.0.66 Deluxe. I know this doesn't help your situation but
maybe something is not quite right with your installation or with the
file associations in Windows??

Cathy,
Have you checked this "feature" in version 6? I have long used the
technique of attaching PDF and other files, such as worksheets, via a
"sound" file in the picture gallery. I can no longer get that
technique to work in version 6.0.0.66 Deluxe. I have queried Legacy
Support but no reply yet. The PDF files open fine using the default
system PDF viewer outside of Legacy. Ditto with a wks file that will
not open via a "sound" file link.

Hi John,
You can attach any type of file to Legacy in the Sound or Video
dialogues. Just change the file type to all types.
These attached files are available to you from within the program but
will not print in a report - just as a Video or Sound file can't be
printed.
Legacy uses your default PDF reader (and other default programs for
other document types) to read PDF files when you click on them. See
Options > Customise - Launch tab if you have several programs that
will read the same type of file and don't want to use your computer
default.

I am new to Legacy, but just recently got the Deluxe Edition, which
I think is great. I have one question:
Can you attach PDF documents to an individual in the picture section?
The reason I ask is; I generated a GEDCOM file from my Brothers
Keeper program which can attach PDF's., I then imported that GEDCOM
into Legacy (Ver 6.0). The PDF files are visable and I can access
and view them, not from a PDF viewer but from a Legacy internal
viewer (I think).
I can not find a place to link or attach the PDF file from the
picture section in Legacy, Am I missing something somewhere. Thanks
in advance
