1. The prompt for backup of multimedia files was added in the
latest build. Many users had asked for this because they did not
want to forget to backup their multi-media. The old prompt only
backed up the data file, you had to manually back up multi-media.
In fact the multi-media backup was introduced in build 6.0.073
but it only applied if you did a manual back-up. Now when you do
a backup on closing Legacy you will be reminded about your
multi-media after the data backup is done.
2. Elsie you are not doing anything wrong at all. Some of the
standard event sentences do not use [ondate] they use [date]. If
you would prefer to use [ondate] in all cases, or just some where
the standard sentence now has [date] you can, from the event edit
window click the button at the bottom to edit the event sentence
definition. Changes made here apply to all events with that name
(i.e. Alt. Death etc.). If it is just the sentence applicable to
one person's event that you would like to change click on the
sentence override tab nest to the event notes tab. Changes you
make to the sentence override apply only to the event for the
person to whom it belongs.
3. If you want to see what the standard event sentences are for
events you can use view > Master Lists > Event Definitions.
Clicking on edit brings up the screen with all the standard
sentence definitions for the event.

I had the same reaction when I shut down after installing the upgrade.
I thought it was because I added a few pics. I made a new folder for
the MM files for backing up. Is that what I should have done?
I'm having a problem with [onDate]. It doesn't always put "on" in
front of complete dates. What am I doing wrong?
Still loving this new program and all the help from the list!

Subject: [LegacyUG] Backing up
Have just left Legacy before getting some Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
When prompted I backed up the fdb file as I used to do under the
6.0.073 version.
But this morning I spotted that there was an update/patch 6.0.0.79
which I duly installed.
At lunch time and now at Zzzzz time another window popped up asking if I
also wanted to back up multimedia files.
Is this a standard new feature with .79? When I said "no" Legacy
closed. At lunch time I said "yes" and dummied up a MM file and another message
appeared saying (I recollect) that I was missing some files. Exactly
what happened after then I can't remember but Legacy did close out and
then
reopen this evening.
Whilst you all think about it I'm off for a cuddle with my wife.
