Re: [LegacyUG] Does Legacy print all spouses and all children on ancestor reports and import dual dates?
I am not sure what you meqan by irregular and dual dates. if you mean words like 'infant' in the date field, Legacy uses the list of 'words' used by the LDS church. I am guessing you mean 15 Jan 1751/1752 by dual dates. They are automatically converted, but I always check that it converted the correct way. I have not found a report that losses some of the children, but double-half children may be left out on some of them. I have a similar situation with my Norwegian branch that of about four thousand I am related to 80%, and they did the same intermarrying and out of marriage children they were cousins to. You must judge if the reports work to your specifications. I think it will, but each of us want different things. Rich --- Dora Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm just checking.

Re: [LegacyUG] Error 2147024882
Gwen, I have met this sort of problem when trying to view a large picture ( usually a census that I haven't reduced in size) in say the source viewer. There is no difficulty in displaying it in Irfan View or similar. In my case it is always a memory problem and I cut the size of the file to 25% and all is well.

[LegacyUG] Does Legacy print all spouses and all children on ancestor reports and import dual dates?
I'm just checking. It seems to me I've previously tried Legacy and wasn't satisfied, but it looks like your software has some new features. Does Legacy import irregular and dual dates? Does Legacy print on narrative ancestor reports, books, and web sites, ALL spouses for each ancestor, AND all their children? If not, is there an easy workaround through the publisher central feature? I'm working with several thousand French Canadan ancestors who married multiple times more often than not. This is not just an occasional issue. Thanks! Yours, Dora Smith Austin, TX [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Internal Virus Database is out-of-date. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

Hi again Les I managed to get the Resource Meter going. Not sure why it did not do it before. I did find on the net the cab it was in, so it made it easer I think.

This is a fixed amount of memory that is not affected my the amount of RAM your computer has. It can not be changed. The information stored there is dynamic in nature so when an application (or part of an application) closes down, memory used by that application should be released. If it isn't, eventually you run out of "system resources". My experience has been that version 6 apparently has problems with releasing used resources when moving from one part of the application to another. This even happens when using the same features I used in version 5. So it doesn't seem to be associated with the new features of version 6. Since I run a dual boot system (meaning I also have XP on the same computer) if I need to, I just reboot into XP to finish my task at hand. (For those of you who are interested, I access the same data file from W98 and XP). Gwen, what I suggest is that you do is what I have done. Microsoft has provided a handy resource monitoring application called the "Resource Meter". When running, it resides in the system tray down by the clock. You should be able to find "Resource Meter" by going to Start - Programs - Accessories - System Tools. If it isn't there, you can create a shortcut on your desktop by right clicking on the file name and selecting "send to" and then "desktop (short cut)". The file name is RSRCMTR.EXE and is located in the C:\Windows folder. I have the application start up when booting my computer because I put the shortcut in the "Startup" folder. When "Resource Meter" is running, you will get a warning message when the resources get low. You might be able shut down other applications that are running at the time to free up resource memory that Legacy Family Tree needs. Or, exit Family Tree and reboot your computer to create the most free resource memory. For further reading, see: http://www.informationweek.com/story/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=17200581 I believe there must me a memory leak that needs to be fixed by the programmers. Using the same features in version 6 that were used in version 5 and running into memory resource problems would seem to indicate that something changed with how memory resources are now being used in version 6. I don't believe you should have to upgrade to XP to solve this problem. I also believe that there are a lot of Legacy uses that wouldn't have a clue as to how to upgrade to XP especially if they are senior citizens like me. I don't think Legacy wants to force these people to upgrade to XP. It could be a costly mistake if they ended up loosing some of their files from other applications in the process. I hope this helps you Gwen (and maybe others running W98) to at least monitor the memory usage and to determine the applications that may be using a lot of resource memory.

Hi Ron Thankyou for your email. That is okay. I am running Win98 SE and my ram is 512MB. I have recently exported my records and then imported them again, and although this has alleviated some of the problems I still do have errors. The main one is when I ask for a Preview/screen print of any report I cannot get the pictures to show, only placeholders and borders. When I take a report to Html, Pdf I get the pictures.

Re: [LegacyUG] Notes on Events
Hi Elizabeth, You said: "It had lengthy (non-standard) source text that was cut to (standard) three lines by Legacy." I don't know where you had your Source Text. If it is in either Master Source Text or Source Detail/Text tab - Legacy does not have a three line limit. Re pages and pages of sources in a report. For a book report for relatives, I now use a database where only the Master Source is set to print. This cuts the size dramatically. Those who are interested in the Source Detail can get back to me for more information. I've found most didn't even look at the Source pages except to go WOW. For myself, however, I like the sources to be as full as possible so that everything is there when I want to see where information came from. Cathy At 10:04 PM 2/10/2006, you wrote: Identical source detail text might be easier to plan in a new Legacy file than a database started with a GEDCOM transfer or merging of files. Some researchers switched from few/no sources to a source for every variation of every detail years ago and found that an all-descendants report was too long to publish. Endnotes with detailed sources might take more pages than the main report. Source data entry results need to be checked DURING data entry and may depend on long-term goals for a family book or web site. A common choice is to print a "short" family book without sources and supply a database file with sources to another researcher. One non-Legacy GEDCOM repeated up to a dozen footnotes on the same page even when the original program was used for the "book" report. It had lengthy (non-standard) source text that was cut to (standard) three lines by Legacy. My "solution" was to copy the source text to the marriage note for the parents and delete the source (eg. cemetery transcription) repeated for individuals. The only remaining problem would have been a transfer to PAF which omits marriage notes in "book" reports. -- Elizabeth - Original Message - From: "Cathy" > Whether or not the source text shows when you cite a source depends on the > print setting you chose for the text.

Some researchers switched from few/no sources to a source for every variation of every detail years ago and found that an all-descendants report was too long to publish. Endnotes with detailed sources might take more pages than the main report. Source data entry results need to be checked DURING data entry and may depend on long-term goals for a family book or web site. A common choice is to print a "short" family book without sources and supply a database file with sources to another researcher. One non-Legacy GEDCOM repeated up to a dozen footnotes on the same page even when the original program was used for the "book" report. It had lengthy (non-standard) source text that was cut to (standard) three lines by Legacy. My "solution" was to copy the source text to the marriage note for the parents and delete the source (eg. cemetery transcription) repeated for individuals. The only remaining problem would have been a transfer to PAF which omits marriage notes in "book" reports. -- Elizabeth - Original Message - From: "Cathy" > Whether or not the source text shows when you cite a source depends on the > print setting you chose for the text.

Re: [LegacyUG] Question about viewing sources
It's quite simple. In any Windows PC there is a "PrtScr" key. If you press that key (usually it is in the shift position, so Shift-PrtScr) this copies you entire screen to the Windows clipboard. Open any graphics program (I use Paint Shop Pro, but any would do) and paste that into a new image. Crop it to show what you want, and you have a screen image you can use to send, print, whatever). Hope that helps.

When the screen to edit an event is opened from the main family screen there is the resulting sentence created at the bottom (great feature!). Most of the time there is what looks like a footnote mark (1) at the end of the sentence indicating (I suspect, maybe erroneously) that a source is attached to this event entry. However that is not always the case. As will be seen in the attached image (Legacy event.jpg), this "Education" event sentence has a superscript 1, but the sources icon is not lit up. Yet when I click on the sources icon to check the sources, I do find sources linked to other events for this person but not for this source that has the superscript 1 (see assigned sources.jpg, I've blanked out the names for privacy reasons).

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy 5 vs 6
So I took Cathy's advice, and installed Legacy 5 on the computer that has internet access. I have a CD, the deluxe version. So I tried to update it, and now I need a password. Where do I get that? Elizabeth C Cathy wrote: Hi Elizabeth, Visual issues with Legacy 6. The main one I think is the new icons. They're the bit that you can't change. Some find it difficult to see when they are coloured and when not. Their visibility is changed somewhat by the colour you choose for the background/panel. You will probably want to try various colour combinations (Options > Customise - Colour Tab) Legacy needs to be installed on both computers - yes it does write to the registry. So you need to move the installation program from one computer to the other and then install it on your 2000 computer. To update, you'd need to download the full program again, transfer it to the other computer and run it. Yes Legacy 6 has been updated several times. Current version is build 110 Hope that helps, Cathy At 08:52 PM 29/09/2006, you wrote: I am considering getting Legacy 6, but I remember when it was first instroduced there were a lot of comments about things being difficult to read. Has that been fixed? My visual problems are getting worse, and I do not want to add to my problems. I need clear contrasts from one spot to another, as well as good differentiation from type to background. Second, do updates affect the Registry? Legacy 5 is on a computer running 2000 with no internet access. My internet access is on another computer running XP. I can transfer from one to another using FileMover, but if the Registry is affected that changes the ball game. I presume Legacy 6 has been updated several times already. Thanks for any advice.

Re: [LegacyUG] Fam. Members by Generation
Hi Jennie, This has been very helpful to me. The tip posted online by Legacy did not work for me. Just a few clarifications, since I just tried this from scratch, and had to figure out a few things. Thank you! Susan My comments/clarifications between >yours: Select the individual you want to be at the top of the tree. Then select Reports/All Reports/Descendants. Actually you need to select Reports/Books-Other/Descendant Book Report. On the left side of this window, select All for the Generations window. On the right side of the window, in the box titled Include Main Entries For, select All individuals. This is key - I skimmed that last sentence and wondered why I was only getting some individuals numbered. Also at this screen check the box for "Generate Table of Contents" Create a Preview. Scroll to the Table of Contents, noting the number of generations found. On a piece of paper or a spreadsheet, start a table of the format: Generation 1 Generation 2 Generation 3 etc. Scroll into the text. Note that the first individual is number 1, but the spouse isn't numbered. Start a column 2 for the above table, filling in 1 for Gen 1. Scroll down to where Generation 2 ends (i.e., where the header Third Generation (Children) appears). Note the number of the first child in Generation 3, subtract one, and enter the value into the above table. Continue to scroll through the Preview, noting the number of the first member minus one of each generation. At the end, just take the number of the last member. You'll end up with a table like this: Generation 1 1 Generation 2 10 Generation 3 22 Generation 4 70 Generation 5166 Generation 6249 etc. Now add a third column to the table by putting 1 for Gen 1 in the third column Subtract the column 2 entry for Gen 1 from its entry for Gen 2 (10-1=9) and put it in the third column for Gen 2, etc. Now the table looks like this: Generation 1 1 1 Generation 2 10 9 Generation 3 22 12 Generation 4 70 48 Generation 5166 96 Generation 6249 83 etc. The third column above is the number of family members by generation (direct descendants only, not spouses). Have fun!

Re: [LegacyUG] Error 2147024882
Gwen, The problem with W98 is the memory that is used to keep track of running applications like Legacy Family Tree. This is a fixed amount of memory that is not affected my the amount of RAM your computer has. It can not be changed. The information stored there is dynamic in nature so when an application (or part of an application) closes down, memory used by that application should be released. If it isn't, eventually you run out of "system resources". My experience has been that version 6 apparently has problems with releasing used resources when moving from one part of the application to another. This even happens when using the same features I used in version 5. So it doesn't seem to be associated with the new features of version 6. Since I run a dual boot system (meaning I also have XP on the same computer) if I need to, I just reboot into XP to finish my task at hand. (For those of you who are interested, I access the same data file from W98 and XP). Gwen, what I suggest is that you do is what I have done. Microsoft has provided a handy resource monitoring application called the "Resource Meter". When running, it resides in the system tray down by the clock. You should be able to find "Resource Meter" by going to Start - Programs - Accessories - System Tools. If it isn't there, you can create a shortcut on your desktop by right clicking on the file name and selecting "send to" and then "desktop (short cut)". The file name is RSRCMTR.EXE and is located in the C:\Windows folder. I have the application start up when booting my computer because I put the shortcut in the "Startup" folder. When "Resource Meter" is running, you will get a warning message when the resources get low. You might be able shut down other applications that are running at the time to free up resource memory that Legacy Family Tree needs. Or, exit Family Tree and reboot your computer to create the most free resource memory. For further reading, see: http://www.informationweek.com/story/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=17200581 I believe there must me a memory leak that needs to be fixed by the programmers. Using the same features in version 6 that were used in version 5 and running into memory resource problems would seem to indicate that something changed with how memory resources are now being used in version 6. I don't believe you should have to upgrade to XP to solve this problem. I also believe that there are a lot of Legacy uses that wouldn't have a clue as to how to upgrade to XP especially if they are senior citizens like me. I don't think Legacy wants to force these people to upgrade to XP. It could be a costly mistake if they ended up loosing some of their files from other applications in the process. I hope this helps you Gwen (and maybe others running W98) to at least monitor the memory usage and to determine the applications that may be using a lot of resource memory. I would be suspicious of any of the Norton applications that may be running.

Re: [LegacyUG] How to show To Do reminders
On 02/10/06, John Murray <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I wanted to show ALL my open TO DOs on the Legacy Home page permanently when I log on John, the closest you can get to showing all open to-dos is to show those with a Reminder Date in the next 365 days. To do this, at the Legacy Home tab, select "Options" button (in top right of screen), and choose "Options...". Select the Reminder Options tab and either using the scroll arrows or by typing, change the "Show to-do-reminders this many days in advance:" to 365. As far as I know, this will show all open reminders with due dates in the next 365 days, and all those still open with reminder dates in the past (from my limited test, it will show them even if it's from more than a year ago). Unfortunately, if you have no reminder date set they will not be shown on the home page, so this may mean going in and setting reminder dates on some of your to-do items, just to have them show here. Hope this helps. Regards, Dermot.

RE: [LegacyUG] Internet Accessable LEgacy Database
Cameron, Legacy doesn't have any server space for users own use.

I haven't tried it but it is possible to use remote access to change data on another PC if one has XP.

RE: [LegacyUG] Passage Express
There are not lots of problems with V 6. The Passage Express is not the full version and is really only a taster and is useful if you wish to produce a CD of a picture display. The only problem (other than ones in V 5) is regarding the Relationship Calculator which seems to have a couple of other spin offs. I believe this will be sorted in the next updates. In my view it is well worthwhile up grading.
