You can't do an export to a .ged (regardless of how you intend to use the .ged)? Have you tried exporting the problem database to a new Legacy database first?

Re: [LegacyUG] Off Topic: Internet Explorer Security Risk
Art, My 78-year-old dad (former CEO of two high profile high tech companies) is like you. Still learning the new operating systems and moving on into the future.

Like many, I may be long in the tooth, (or should it really be short in the gums?), but I, like the others I mentioned, am fortunate to possess faculties which are still rather less tham impaired.

I would guess that the Wireless Router's firewall is sufficiently protecting you. Actually, the point of my post was directed at folks that use their computer for online genealogical work. I'm assuming that many are middle age and older. And I am assuming that, therefore, many have limited computer skills and/or knowledge - given that they learned how to use computers late in life. My stereotype developed from a long experience at my primary job with my school district (now retired) which was to teach teachers (many middle aged and older) and community members how to use computers. So, I hesitated to even mention a firewall. Just getting most folks to have Windows updated on a reliable basis is an accomplishment. The astounding number of zombie computers worldwide continues is testimony that many do not implement these security measures. If I were to get into detailing the scheduling of deep system scans, scans for rootkits, spyware, etc. - I feared that I'd get the same reaction that I have in the past when too much stuff was thrown at my stereotyped group. [http://gfx2.hotmail.com/mail/w3/ltr/i_safe.gif] I hope that I'm not offending anyone with this take on things. I'm a new member to the Legacy User Group, and a new user of Legacy, so I'm not sure how many use this user group. All of this has probably been said here before, but since the security of I.E. arose, I thought it would be a good time interject. Please excuse if I've overstepped!

Re: [LegacyUG] Error 3163, Take 2...
Roxanne, this is apparently a Microsoft Access error, Access being the underlying program Legacy uses. A Google search turns up a solution for another program, but it indicates Error 3163 is an AddToHistory function error. Have you tried any of the options under File Maintenance other than Check/Repair? One of the options I see is Set File Sorting Order. I do not know whether this would fix your problem, but the procedure rebuilds all internal indexes. Logic tells me that if you have an AddToHistory error, rebuilding the indexes may prove useful. (or it may not). In any case, make sure you have a good backup.

Hello again. I'm still having trouble with Error 3163, but have since discovered a few things that narrow it down. In the beginning, I would attempt to export my file to a GEDCOM 5.5 file, as I usually do once a month. While exporting individuals, I would get this message: Error 3163: The field is too small to accept the amount of data you attempted to add. Try inserting or pasting less data. Would you like to TRY IT AGAIN? If I click yes, the message repeats forever. If I click quit, the program closes, as I would expect. If I click no, the message may repeat once again further along in the process, but the export finishes up like normal. I ran a File check/repair, and nothing changed. I maintain 4 separate family files, working on 1 for about a week before updating the current file online at Rootsweb. Then I switch to another file for a week. The only reason this is relevant to the situation is this: about 3 weeks ago, I got a message when I opened a file that it was in an older format, and needed to be updated to the newer format in order to be usable. I have kept up with Legacy 7 updates right along. Up to now, I have updated 2 family files, and these are the 2 with which I'm having trouble. I have sent a bug report to Legacy, although I don't know that this is actually a bug. The only thing different is the updating of the files to the newer format. Connected?

Based on this article... http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;896950 ... the problem you are seeing is probably a bug, maybe introduced with a recent program update. I would also send support a copy of the .fdb file you are having the problem with along with a step-by-step set of instructions explaining how to reproduce the error. According to http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/RevisionHistory7.asp, there were some GEDCOM related fixes made in the 28 Nov build, so maybe this had something to do it. When did you first start having the problem? P.S. There is a new build out today (20 Dec), but I don't see any GEDCOM stuff in the release notes. -- Dennis Kowallek LTools - Legacy Tools http://ltools.kowallekfamily.com/ *** Holiday discounts on Legacy 7.0, add-ons, books, and more.
