Re: [LegacyUG] File ID assistant and deleting duplicates
Hi Beth, The File ID assistant is there to show what file IDs you've already used so you can enter the following number - or in your case, so you can check that you haven't used the name before. I use name + number (or rather type + number as I file by type - birth, will, census ...). That's why it has both a Select button (to use the same File ID again) and a Select + 1 button - so you enter the next available File ID number. It's not so useful if you don't add a number. If you've got into a mess, Print a File ID report so you can identify the ones that don't match the File ID on the actual paper copy. You can use the Edit button in the File ID Assistant to change them - but check out the options carefully. I suspect this won't help in your case, for, if I've understood you correctly, you've used the same File ID name for a number of different papers. You'll need to use the report to help you go back to each usage and change it to what you actually want. You might want to click the Help button on the File ID Assistant screen to learn more. Cathy At 11:29 AM 30/10/2006, you wrote: How may I delete duplicate file ID's? I use names only and the file ID assistant lists the same names every time that I use them to document my source location. This is driving me nuts. Help. Best regards, Beth G.

RE: [LegacyUG] Corrupted GEDCOMs - UTF-8 format
This is too restrictive a response. There is no problem using Wordpad under normal circumstances when the ANSI character set is used which is the default. The problem ONLY arises when the UTF-8 character set is deliberately chosen to produce the GEDCOM file, and that GEDCOM file with the UTF-8 character set is opened AND SAVED in either Wordpad OR Word. This will NOT affect MOST users of GEDCOM files. Ignore it!

RE: [LegacyUG] Descendent Narrative table of contents
Jeff, if you can bear to screen read, just create PDFs. But I agree that at the beginning you need to have paper copies if only of sections of reports to view the differences caused by different selections. I find that printing just the Index of a Descendant Chart, Book or Narrative is adequate now when checking a report--it allows you to quickly move to the onscreen page number without scrolling to find the things you know you need to check. You MUST use Report Setting files with descriptive indicator names so you can swap back and forth between trials, AND so you don't have remember particular settings, AND so you don't have to retype headings and titles and the like. See bottom right of every report options window.

Read about "Dates: Entering" and "Date" then read about unrecognizable dates, and how to do some customizing to be alerted, or not be. 1. Instead of 1970s, it wants you to use the range 1970-1979. But if you leave it at 1970s, it can sort it as if it were 1970. 2. It does not recognize non-standard ranges. You can use 1944-1954 if you want to make the program happy, then enter a note about the 1954 iffiness. I use my non-standard dates but write it in how I want it to print out (i.e. "1944 to about 1954"). 3. I like to estimate birth dates for people so that if they show up (online or in my names list) as the result of a search, they can easily be eliminated if the birth date is not within a certain range. This then also helps to keep children sorted in the correct order. I use the prefix Est. to indicate it is an estimated date. 4. Not sure what the error would be, but if you click on the "Exclude from Potential Problems" button on a person's individual view, you are given a list of things to exclude. If your event is running into one of those types of errors, then select that particular problem to end the continued reporting of that error. Hope these ideas help.

Re: [LegacyUG] Copying events (e.g., between spouses)
Dear Ronald and Patricia, Thanks for the suggestions with Event copying between spouses. I agree that for the most part, it's fine to have the husband's info reflect the wife's. I usually would assume residences the same unless noted otherwise, and occupations different unless noted. Still, I recently decided to go ahead and try to add residences where appropriate to both members of a couple, and relevant children/parents/etc also, because I like to be able to see where people were and were doing when I look at each individual. Just a personal preference thing! As for the copying procedure, the one Ron uses is the one I generally use too. Except, I have a bunch that I entered before I got to this point, and copying them individually (many different directory residence locations, for instance) is a bit of a pain. I had hoped that Legacy might make it easier for you. For instance, to hold down control or shift and copy several events using the Copy button, and then Paste these several with the Paste button. I would like to see that in a future version, but I might be a minority among users. Thanks again!

E.g., if he moved to San Francisco in 1935 and she stayed East with the children till 1938. Or, if he was an architect and she was too I'd enter that in both, since I'd assume an occupation was HIS occupation and that her occupation was HERS. If you can't tell certain events are individual or family I'd make it clear in the Events Description. This method is probably not pleasing to a lot of people, but personally I don't have a problem with it.

Re: [LegacyUG] date problems

Susan Daily wrote: Jeff, The Legacy Help section doesn't explain how to enter ranges, which leaves you guessing, like you've found. Read about "Dates: Entering" and "Date" then read about unrecognizable dates, and how to do some customizing to be alerted, or not be. 1. Instead of 1970s, it wants you to use the range 1970-1979. But if you leave it at 1970s, it can sort it as if it were 1970. 2. It does not recognize non-standard ranges. You can use 1944-1954 if you want to make the program happy, then enter a note about the 1954 iffiness. I use my non-standard dates but write it in how I want it to print out (i.e. "1944 to about 1954"). 3. I like to estimate birth dates for people so that if they show up (online or in my names list) as the result of a search, they can easily be eliminated if the birth date is not within a certain range. This then also helps to keep children sorted in the correct order. I use the prefix Est. to indicate it is an estimated date. 4. Not sure what the error would be, but if you click on the "Exclude from Potential Problems" button on a person's individual view, you are given a list of things to exclude. If your event is running into one of those types of errors, then select that particular problem to end the continued reporting of that error. Hope these ideas help.

[LegacyUG] XoftSpy - Legacy Problems
Dale, I had not considered Legacy to be the source of all my recent frustrations! Thank you for pointing out the possible conflict between XoftSpy and Legacy . About October 15, I began to have problems with opening Legacy. On the advice of Geoff at Millennia I reinstalled Legacy, did a full download of the program. However, that has not really solved the problem. I still must run the setup program each time I want to open my family files. Along about the same time, I began getting 14 Severe Risk Power Spy alerts from XoftSpy. I'm another of these paranoid people who also runs Norton, Ad-Aware, and WindowsDefender along with XoftSpy. None of these others found any problem at all. The thought of there being any connection between these two events completely eluded me. My son arrived to day with an "early Christmas present" of a mobile storage device to make a copy of my hard drive and then to begin the process of reinstalling XPPro and all my programs. At this point, I have written to ParetoLogic about the conflicts and will gladly wait for them to solve the problem before I go through the hassle of a reinstallation. Thank you for bringing your problem to the Legacy Users group.

Re: [LegacyUG] How to set marriage status to blank?
Steven, What version of Legacy are you using? I checked my newest two marriages, and they both remained blank. There is no customize option to change that, as far as I can make out. I have 6.0.0.110. How are you creating the new marriages? Do you have an individual and then click on the other side of the family screen to add a new spouse? Or are you doing some other step? Are you doing anything like "repeat" which might copy the same items entered in a previously accessed marriage record?

Rob, Good point. The sentence creation routine needs to take into account both the "Not Married" status and "Living" status so that the tense will read correctly.

Re: [LegacyUG] Here's a weird one
It is possible that you added the un-related individual to some family which gave him the relationship and then detached him. Click "Tools" then "Set Relationships..." where you will see the "Clear Relationships" button. Try that and then see if your un-related person still shows a relationship. Afterward you will probably want to use the "Set Relationships" button again to compute the relationship labels for your "Starting Person".

RE: [LegacyUG] Legacy Spyware
Dale, Legacy does *not* contain spyware. It's one of the overly aggressive ones that we've had a problem with, reporting that Legacy contained spyware. I don't know which specific files it's identifying and removing. Some spyware programs use the same dll and ocx files that Legacy uses, but that doesn't mean *those* files are spyware. I would suggest that you contact XoftSpy and explain to them that their identification and removal of Power Spy is disabling a legitimate program and ask that they download Legacy and test it. When we've had users report this to the support people for their spyware scanner program, the next update generally has fixed the problem so Legacy will run fine. It *may* be the cia*.* files, which have been associated with spyware before. They're simply the "button files" that we use for the icons and toolbars in Legacy. Thanks for using Legacy.

RE: [LegacyUG] Descendent Narrative table of contents
Jeff A Descendant Book by default has Generation subtitles in the Contents if you choose the Contents option. The nature of a Descendant Book report is across the generations, so they can be separated. A Descendant Narrative doesn't have such an option because it is travelling down the tree primarily, and then across secondarily, the opposite of the Book report. Consequently, the generations are not separated, but "families" are.

Re: [LegacyUG] Copying events (e.g., between spouses)
Personally, I just put all joint things under the husband's name and would enter it under the wife's name only if there was a difference. E.g., if he moved to San Francisco in 1935 and she stayed East with the children till 1938. Or, if he was an architect and she was too I'd enter that in both, since I'd assume an occupation was HIS occupation and that her occupation was HERS. If you can't tell certain events are individual or family I'd make it clear in the Events Description. This method is probably not pleasing to a lot of people, but personally I don't have a problem with it.

This way all the details and sources are copied. However, this will need to be done for each event. I tend to copy things like this to all persons at the time of entering.
