[LegacyUG] This may be a dumb question
This may be a dumb question but... I am FINALLY getting a laptop! I am excited about being able to do research in the field with my entire file available. Here is my question... Is there an easier way to keep my laptop Legacy file and my desktop Legacy file current to each other than burning a CD each time and loading it on the other machine? michele Legacy User Group guidelines can be found at: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp To find past messages, please go to our searchable archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ For online technical support, please visit http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe please visit: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp

Re: [LegacyUG] This may be a dumb question
At least two options. A home network - then before going in the field copy your data files onto your laptop then copy back on your home PC on return. A home networkis fairly cheap and simple to setup and would have other advantages - internet connection and printer sharing. There are two many different ways of setting up a network to go into here. Flashdrive - Simplest option if you have USB(preferably USB 2) on your PCs is to buy a flashdrive - cost from a few pounds/dollars depending on capacity. Plugged into a USB port the flashdrive appears as an extra drive. Plug in to one PC, copy the data on to the drive then plug it into the other PC and copy it off.

[LegacyUG] Making a list or doing a search
I think this can be done but haven't been able to do itI'd like to make a list of all the married couple on my data base that have been married for 50 years or more - I'd really appreciate knowing how to do this, if possible.

RE: [LegacyUG] Making a list or doing a search
I'm sorry Carol but I really cannot see how this can be done from within Legacy as it involves conditional and mathematical functions for which Legacy has no facilities. It might be possible using Excel or Open Office but even then I suspect that the construction of a suitable formula would be pretty horrendous. Maybe someone else can come up with something.

[LegacyUG] where to put a census for family
I am wondering what others do with census info for a family. I always enter all the censuses on each individual's information page as an event, so as to be able to see chronologically where they are. But, when it comes to the census for a family (or just a couple) I never can quite make up my mind. Should that census still go under each individual (husband and wife separately) or is it better to put it on to the marriage page and they show their lives together (which is really what I want to do) but I think that the reports print them out differently don't they? I know the individual type report would of course, but I mean the narrative type one. What do other folk do? (or should it go separately and together just a thought) June Legacy User Group guidelines can be found at: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp To find past messages, please go to our searchable archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ For online technical support, please visit http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe please visit: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
[LegacyUG] separate story
I am having a senior moment - (and I am only 14!!! - no, not true) anyway - I have a lengthy story I would like included with an individual but I don't want to put it in their notes as it is too long, and not everyone would want to read it all. What is the best way to have it written out separately but able to be included and read if sufficiently interested? I envisage a comment such as go to page xxx if interested to read more of this story and then have it written out in full there. I would like to be able to place it into the 'published book'. I am wondering if the place holders can do that sort of thing? Or now I am thinking abt printing the note separately but could I fit them in? I'm not thinking very clearly abt it at the moment. Many tks for any suggestions.
