Mike, I was going to ask you the obvious - have you checked your PC clock, but then looked at the reminder for my grandson's birthday on the 3rd January; it says: 3rd January x will be 12 years old in 2 days time. Today is the 31st Dec. So, no I hadn't looked but I have now and, yup, I agree! No excuse for being late then :-). Have a good new year.

Re: [LegacyUG] Merging basic sources into sourcewriter
Hi Lew, I too was very upset with Legacy after upgrading from build 55. I had done a half dozen merges of old syle to source writer which required only slight touch ups.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy Home Tab Problem
This is probably because of the difference in how Americans and British count years. In US, on your 365 day of life you become one, on your 365x2 day you become two. In some places people are called 2 after the 366 day, ignoring leap years. Is this what you mean.

[LegacyUG] How to convert Family Tree to Legacy
I have checked the archives but could not locate the correct answer, if it has been answered please accept my apologies. I have always used Legacy and think that it is the best program on the market. I have a friend who has always used Family Tree Maker, she has just purchased the Legacy 7 program and would like to know what is the best and easiest, step by step way to transfer all her data from her Family Tree Maker program into Legacy. I'm sure that there are quite a few x-ftm's out there who have been converted to Legacy, I'm sure that those of you who have transferred your data base incorrectly have learned by trial and error. There must be a way to transfer the data and still keep one's sanity intact.

Re: [LegacyUG] Vista Data Redirection
I use XP, not Vista, and Legacy is installed in its own folder, not Program Files. I thought perhaps your having Legacy in Program Files was something that Vista required, but looking at the Legacy Help page for Vista users, is the following: For Legacy Family Tree to run properly under Windows Vista, only install the Legacy program to the default C:\Legacy folder, rather than changing it to C:\Program Files\Legacy. If you install Legacy to the Program Files directory, you will discover that Vista does not allow users to write files to that location. Instead, Vista redirects any changes to Legacy files to a Virtual Store folder, a location in the user's profile. This creates serious problems, for example, if more than one user (people with different user accounts) attempt to work in the same family file. Hope this helps, Elizabeth researching the descendants of William and Sarah (Patterson) Thompson - Original Message - From: Gary To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyFamilyTree.com Sent: Wednesday, December 31, 2008 2:23 PM Subject: [LegacyUG] Vista Data Redirection I recently noticed some odd behaviour with Legacy that I will share here. I noticed I could only see all my data files and backups from within Legacy only. If I used Windows Explorer or using search, these files couldn't be seen at all. Odd indeed. I originally ignored this until I tried to do a update and lost all my files, or so I thought. As it turns out, under Vista you are not supposed to store data in the Program Files directory. all files placed there are supposed to be placed there by trusted installers. For backward compatibilty Microsoft has some sort of redirection driver that places your data in a directory called Virtual Store... C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files ...as opposed to... C:\Program Files Somehow in doing the Legacy update, the link to the data files was lost.

Ron, you've received several good answers by now, but your question struck me from a different angle. Does it take into account the need to record different source information when we use a church's baptism *certificate* as opposed to an image copy of the actual record entered into the original register?

[LegacyUG] Clipboard Source Automatically Changing
Prior to these latest minor updates, I had been able to create a Master source, without using the Source Writer, fill in the general details for the source and copy it to the clipboard, leaving the text/comments blank. I could then apply the source to multiple individuals, filling in the text/comments section as the specific details applied to each person. But currently, even if I save a source with blank text/comments to the clipboard, each time I add specifics for an individual, those specifics are added to the clipboard, which is very annoying and making sourcing a very irritating experience. The specifics will not apply to the next person for whom I wish to use the original clipboard source. What happened to the old source clipboard? It was hard enough when the tabbed clipboard was removed, but this new feature that has popped up all of a sudden is maddening!! Any solutions in sight?

Re: [LegacyUG] Clipboard Source Automatically Changing
Judy, I'm certain this has been the standard behavior since at least version 7.0.0.55 (the one we had for a very long time until this sudden flurry of updates). I often would realize after pasting a source into a few spots that I had mistakenly inserted the same detail in a few spots where it was not meant to be, and had to go back and fix the offending entries. This is not new to the recent updates. That doesn't answer your complaint about the old tabbed clipboard, but the behavior of the new clipboard is the same as it has been for a while (other than defaulting to 'prompt for detail' when you copy a source to the clipboard, which I believe was added in 7.0.0.76.)

RE: [LegacyUG] Error 3021
It probably does need a fix as an application shouldn't have an error displayed that is based on its underlying technology.
