I don't know what else to say about it. I'm not 'complaining' about anything. I'm simply stating a fact. I'm not stupid, apparently just inarticulate, although I write for a living.

Then we could confirm that we're both talking about the same thing :-) To me, it is a space or screen estate problem. The area between the list of sources and the buttons is used to display details from the selected source. This is presented as data from the Master Source record first, followed by data from the Source Detail record. The File ID # is part of the Source Detail record and as such, may or may not show depending on the amount of data in the Master Record and Detail Records that precede it. I think that this is the reason why some File ID #s appear and some don't. The area is also subject to the Zooming effects of font size that can act to restrict the total amount of information shown. As far as I can see, this always behaves as though set to Automatic. A selectable, fixed font size would help here. -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg.

Now that I (partly) understand the nature of the problem I have tried a few variations myself. I don't usually have a File ID connected to a Master Source, only to most Source Details, but I have added one to a couple of additional Master Sources for test purposes. In either case, the File ID is showing up every time *provided there is room for it*. Thus, the Master Source File ID is usually there, provided there isn't too much wording in the Title and Publication Facts and the Source Detail File ID is more rarely showing. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
Re: [LegacyUG]File ID#s - was (no subject)
If I understand you correctly, using this sequence Name List - Sources - some source - Detail button a specific source shows a File ID for some people but not for others. I have encountered that. What I found was two sources with what appeared to be the same name (Legacy identified one as Master Source 25, the other as Master Source 32). I printed the two lists (View - Master Lists - Source - select source - Show List - Print) and edited the people on the shorter list to use the other source, then deleted the duplicate source (although Legacy did NOT find any duplicate sources - my guess is that one had an extra space at the end or some other invisible character in it).

RE: [LegacyUG] RIN number changes
RIN and MRIN numbers are assigned in sequential order as you enter individuals and marriages in the family file. There can be no duplicate numbers because they are unique. When you import a GEDCOM file into an existing family file, the RINs and MRINs that were in the GEDCOM file renumbered, with the exception of possibly filling in any blank RINs in the existing file.

[LegacyUG] Primary Name and AKA
I have this one person which was christened 'Anton Marius Sorensen' (documented in the Church records). His father and well as 5 generations before him was christened using both a patronymic name plus the family name Vinther. As an adult Anton emigrated from Denmark to USA, and in the Ellis Island Passenger lists he listed his name as Anton Marius Winther and that's what he called him self for the rest of his life in US. All his children in all the US records I have found were named Winther. Whether the reason for the missing Vinther at Anton's christening was due to a clerical error or some other reason I don't know, but there is no doubt that Anton perceived him self as a Vinther. Therefore I'm inclined to set his primary name as Anton Marius Winther, and his christening name as an AKA name. Any views on this are very welcome. Erik P.

I would do exactly the same thing. Just make sure you include a note somewhere to explain the difference between the two. Cheers, Jan -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Erik Pilgaard Vinther Sent: Saturday, 2 February 2008 3:18:AM To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Subject: [LegacyUG] Primary Name and AKA I have this one person which was christened 'Anton Marius Sorensen' (documented in the Church records). His father and well as 5 generations before him was christened using both a patronymic name plus the family name Vinther. As an adult Anton emigrated from Denmark to USA, and in the Ellis Island Passenger lists he listed his name as Anton Marius Winther and that's what he called him self for the rest of his life in US. All his children in all the US records I have found were named Winther. Whether the reason for the missing Vinther at Anton's christening was due to a clerical error or some other reason I don't know, but there is no doubt that Anton perceived him self as a Vinther. Therefore I'm inclined to set his primary name as Anton Marius Winther, and his christening name as an AKA name. Any views on this are very welcome. Erik P.

Re: [LegacyUG]File ID#s - was (no subject)
I understand that's what you think and/or have experienced. In my own experience, if a File ID# can show up after 3 lines of 'other stuff' I don't see a 'real-estate' reason for it not showing up when there's only one line of 'other stuff'. JL Mike Fry wrote: JLB wrote: I'm glad you're standing in the Light now. I heard you suggest it might be a space issue the last time. It really isn't. Or rather I should say, you may have experienced that yourself, but it is not the why of what's happening in my experience. I wish we could attach screen shots. Then we could confirm that we're both talking about the same thing :-) To me, it is a space or screen estate problem. The area between the list of sources and the buttons is used to display details from the selected source. This is presented as data from the Master Source record first, followed by data from the Source Detail record. The File ID # is part of the Source Detail record and as such, may or may not show depending on the amount of data in the Master Record and Detail Records that precede it. I think that this is the reason why some File ID #s appear and some don't. The area is also subject to the Zooming effects of font size that can act to restrict the total amount of information shown. As far as I can see, this always behaves as though set to Automatic. A selectable, fixed font size would help here.

I checked the issue with the little boxes to check and it's not that either. JL Gene Young wrote: Mike Fry wrote: JLB wrote: To me, it is a space or screen estate problem.

It could also be something as simple as the Detail Information Tab not having a check mark in the bottom left box Add this Detail to the Source Citation on Reports or in the box labeled Include this Citation on Reports. There are too many variables here for accuracy without seeing all the settings possible.

Re: [LegacyUG]File ID#s - was (no subject)
Invisible characters - now there's an idea... JL John Carter wrote: If I understand you correctly, using this sequence Name List - Sources - some source - Detail button a specific source shows a File ID for some people but not for others. I have encountered that. What I found was two sources with what appeared to be the same name (Legacy identified one as Master Source 25, the other as Master Source 32). I printed the two lists (View - Master Lists - Source - select source - Show List - Print) and edited the people on the shorter list to use the other source, then deleted the duplicate source (although Legacy did NOT find any duplicate sources - my guess is that one had an extra space at the end or some other invisible character in it). John I don't know what else to say about it. I'm not 'complaining' about anything. I'm simply stating a fact. I'm not stupid, apparently just inarticulate, although I write for a living. I will repeat myself and see if that makes it more understandable. When I click on a Source under the Sources tab, in the Name List, where I know there is a File ID# attached, sometimes the File ID# shows itself and sometimes it does not. You're right, there is no File ID # 'field' on the name list. However if I, or you, click on a Source under the Sources tab, a summary of it will show in the free space under the Sources List. i.e. name of the Source, Detail Information and File ID# is there is such a thing. It's not about lack of space. The File ID# is simply erratic about showing up or not showing up, when I know there is a File ID# there that could be showing up.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy Charting Companion--PDF Exchange Driver
It's not a question of horsepower. |LCC cannot find the DRIVER for Adobe's PDF Reader in yout Vista. I suggest you check with the Adobe website to see if there is a Problems forum, if so, have others had a similar experience. With luck, though, someone here may have more knowledge about a fix than I do. (I'm not operating on Vista, plus have uninstalled my Adobe PDF reader in faviur of the smaller - free - Foxit Reader. - Original Message - From: Olds-Wills-Anderson-Simonson-Hodges-Harris-Liikala-Jukkara [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Sent: Saturday, February 02, 2008 6:39 PM Subject: [LegacyUG] Legacy Charting Companion--PDF Exchange Driver Just got a new laptop loaded with Vista.
