Re: [LegacyUG] sudden shutdown
No idea what happened, or why - you should have been fine. but it sounds like one of your .usr files got changed - not your data file.

Re: [LegacyUG] re: Sudden Shutdown
Hi Elizabeth, This doesn't normally happen with any form of scan on a computer but every now and again one of the AntiMalware softwares get false positives and it sounds like whatever was scanning took exception to something in the Legacy files. Closing Legacy by right clicking on it when it's minimised to the Task Bar is no problem. I do it all the time. It sounds like you've lost all your .usr files and they've all reverted to the defaults. The fonts etc that you are referring to aren't held within the .fdb file. That only has your data so going to a backup of your Family File won't return the fonts etc. You have to re choose your options in Options > Customise and everywhere else - unless you can see that whatever was scanning has quarantined the files somewhere and you can release them. Another possibility is that you've got two installations of Legacy on your computer and you've opened a different one. If you installed Legacy into Program Files, take a look to see whether you also have a C:\Legacy folder. That's the default location but many of us install to Program Files - though I understand things are different with Vista. If you are using Vista and you installed to the Program Files folder, then I think the .usr files etc get put in some virtual store or something? Sorry. I don't have Vista but know that programs aren't allowed to write to the Program folders after installation. There's information on the Legacy web pages on how to properly install Legacy to run under Vista. Are you a Deluxe user? Have you also lost access to the Deluxe features? If so, you'll need to re-enter your Customer Number as well. For another occasion: I include the .usr files in my regular computer backup so that I can restore them if/when necessary.

Re: [LegacyUG] timeline question
Yes, multiples are possible, and you can mix and match, using one or two from one or three timelines to add to a specific person. The only problem, (not a real one) is that after you create the timeline as wanted, then leave, you should uncheck the various ones so the next time there are no hangers on.

[LegacyUG] sudden shutdown
Earlier today when my computer was doing a regular scan Legacy suddenly stopped responding and shut down. I wasn't using the program at the time and had tried to close it by right-clicking the icon on the bar at the bottom of my computer screen. I re-started the computer and tried to open Legacy again. It asked me which file to open and found the Master.fdb file that I use but when it opened, all the fonts had changed to the default and other minor things were different.

Re: [LegacyUG] source problems

Does anybody know any way around this, or is it simply that I can never attach notes to those fields and thus would have no reason to edit them.? I'm sorry - maybe it's just me being dense again, but I am still not clear about what you are wanting to edit. You refer to "source notes" and then to "notes for the event". As there is no field called Notes within Master Source or Source Details, are you actually referring to the field Notes which is part of an Event?

Re: [LegacyUG] Information Left Out of Reports
Barbara, Yes, they are called Privacy brackets (probably more detail if you search in Help for them). Lots of us use them in all sorts of ways. I put much of my research data into brackets, and when I want to see that stuff, there is a checkbox on reports that says Print [[Private]] and Print without the brackets. (I don't have Legacy open so can't confirm.) You will never have to worry about the stuff printing if you don't ever select those choices.

Re: [LegacyUG] Information Left Out of Reports
Gene, This is EXACTLY what I needed--I just tried the double brackets, on the Individual View, putting double brackets around her given name and then another set around her surname. In the report, it just says "Unknown" which is fine (I don't want the actual data within my software to say Unknown, because she IS known, but I don't want her name to show up in the reports). Now, one other question: is there a reason why I would want to UNDO those brackets after I've printed the report (or were you just suggesting that in case I might want to print a report sometime that did include her name)? In other words, if I never want her name to show up in any report, does it work to keep the double brackets around her information always? thanks so much, Barbara On Fri, Feb 15, 2008 at 11:43 AM, Gene Young <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Barbara Ford wrote: > > Thank you, Ron and Cathy, > > Sounds like you all persisted until you came up with the answer! > > > > I'm sure it would've been much easier for you if I could have been > > clearer with my descriptions (with my lack of understanding of child > > list and main entry).

RE: [LegacyUG] Advice on event names
If you use the Chronology View, or Report, I think it's rather nice to have the census info display in it. Gives you a good quick overview of the family, without going to the source. It looks better if you follow Geoff's tip, and leave a blank line at the top of the note field, the Chronology page will have a cleaner look. As to relabeling my Census events by Census years, thanks to those who pointed out the relative uselessness of such a move. Somehow the thought that it could be useful just kept hovering..

Re: [LegacyUG] February 74% OFF
Paul Brown wrote Maybe some one more wiser could draft a comment on what to do in the event of spam on the list. I certainly do not claim to be "more wiser" but I think I know what to do about spam on the list - IGNORE IT. The thread relating to this latest piece of spam has generated 22 messages so far - and I am aware that I am now creating a 23rd. That's 23 messages that should have no place on this list and which many people on dial-up have, in effect, had to pay to download. 22 of them could have been avoided. -- 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
