[LegacyUG] Legacy unable to "lock file"

2009-10-05 Thread Pat Hickin
I am trying to create a .pdf (descendant narrative) with LOTS of pictures.
Without the pictures I was unable to create the file easily (it was roughly 800 
pages long).
With the pictures, I get a repeated error message that says:

Error opening temporary work file.
Error 3050.  Could not lock file. [I have no idea what is meant by "locking" a 
file.]
Would you like to TRY IT AGAIN?

I get this message several times, and the number of pages being created 
advances to c 3500!  I have a LOT of pictures but I don't think I have THAT 
many!!  At that point I am told I am out of memory and  Legacy crashes.

I went to Legacy online help, which suggests I run file maintenace, which I did 
without a problem.

I checked my picture files and all of them are showing up.

Legacy Help makes a number of other suggestions, which will be quite 
time-consuming) but does not deal specifically with Error #3050, as far as I 
can see.

After getting the out-of memory message, I restarted my computer and opened no 
other programs.   But again got the out of memory message.

I have 4gb RAM.  I  have Windows Vista, 64-bit, and keep it updated 
automatically.

I have Legacy Deuxe 7.0.0.109.

I'll appreciate all suggestions!

But it does not print the LOCATION picture unless you attach the picture to
the event.  And marriage pictures do not print at all unless you add a
separate marriage event and attach the picture to that event.

I disagree. I currently print Individual Reports, and it prints the events

There are several reports in which you cannot choose to have even event
pictures print, such as the individual report.

There are many reports in which only events can have pictures print, but NOT
birth, baptism, death, burial, or marriage.  BTW, those are events too, but
not classified as such for picture purpose.

Many reports do not allow a location report to be included.

All reports should have the option to include a location report that
includes the location notes and/or pictures.

then just how are you showing their residences; or don't you bother?

Re: [LegacyUG] Gedcom problem

2009-10-05 Thread Terri Brown
Margaret,

You should be able to open .mht files with your internet browser. I have saved 
some web pages in that format. Try to double-click the file and see if it opens 
in your browser. You won't be able to import to Legacy but at least you should 
be able to view it.

Maybe the person who sent you the file could try to create a new one for you. I 
think that somehow they did not export to a GEDCOM but to a web page.

Hi Listers

I have a problem.
I have been sent a gedcom file but it has an extension "mht" and will not open

I have made another file and inserted a "ged" at the end instead but still 
nothing.
I have been assured it is a gedcom file and have been in behind the scenes and 
it certainly looks as if it is as it starts with the "O head" and all that, but 
I do not have a clue therefore why I cannot get it to open.
Has anyone any suggestions or has come upon this before?

Re: [LegacyUG] Gedcom problem

2009-10-05 Thread RICHARD SCHULTHIES
What is the size of the file? Can you 'print' the file in any format?  Have you 
tried using Import Wizard to 'confuse' your computer. The worst that could 
happen is it doesn't work, either.  I have never seen the extension mht 
added with any genealogical file (though I am not an expert in all the programs 
out there). Since your e-mail is in Australia(?) it could be from a 'home 
grown' program. Ask the person if the Gedcom is Gedcom 5.5 . 
We will trie to muddle through this with you. Don't send until someone offers 
to recieve it. I am swamped for a few weeks, but if on one else steps forward, 
will leave the option open.

RE: [LegacyUG] Updating Legacy: Ron

2009-10-05 Thread Kirsten Bowman
Ron:

Of course you're right about the difference between upgrades and updates,
and the new features introduced with v7 were so huge that probably no amount
of beta testing could have caught every possible bug.  Furthermore, the ones
that did slip through seemed to affect relatively few users.  In fact it
seems that only *two* of us on the LUG list were seriously paralyzed by the
problems--a really minute percentage of users.  After that experience,
though, I personally would be reluctant to either encourage or discourage
others regarding upgrading or updating.  You're more experienced with the
software and can speak more freely.

Legacy is a wonderful program and I wouldn't switch to another even if it
promised to vacuum and do the dishes, but as long as my current version
works very well in most respects I'll continue to tread cautiously where
both updates and upgrades are concerned.

As I have said before on this list, there is a heck of a difference between
an upgrade and an update. Very rarely does an update create problems,
whereas with an upgrade of any program bugs are not that unusual - just look
at Microsoft!

Updates are aimed at getting rid of bugs and improving performance, and in
my view should be installed as soon as they are published.

RE: [LegacyUG] Pictures of Locations

2009-10-05 Thread CE Wood
Dear Alastair,

For starters, the following are what Legacy needs to do:

Allow a picture for the marriage!  Right now, you cannot attach a picture to
the marriage.
You must create a separate Marriage Event/Fact, called Wedding Photo or
whatever and attach the picture to that!

Individual Report, Descendant Report, Descendant Narrative Report, and
Ancestor Report:
Descendant Chart, Pedigree Chart, Family Group Records:
   Index Options>Location Index - Needs to include the option to Include
pictures.

Ancestor Chart:
   Needs to include Individual Dates and Locations option, as Descendant
Chart does, and then...
   Index Options  - Needs to include Location index, as the Descendant Chart
and Pedigree Charts do.

Location Report:
   Options should include the option to Include location pictures.

Event Report:
   Include - Report Style - List Style - Needs to include the option to
Include event location pictures.


As you said, many of us have invested great effort into researching and
linking pictures to locations, and there needs to be a way to print those.
Event pictures do not suffice for several reasons, among which:
   Several events for the same person may occur at the same location, so
rather than allow ONLY an event picture (and marriage is not an event!),
having a Location Index with one picture for each location would be
preferable.  I see event pictures as being pictures of the event itself
-such as a baptism or wedding.

RE: [LegacyUG] GEDCOMs From Legacy: Brett

2009-10-05 Thread Kirsten Bowman
Brett:

Provided your John Smith and Fred Dagg are the same person with Fred Dagg
being an aka, that's exactly what I want but no combination of choices found
so far will give me this result.  I can get the GIVN and SURN lines omitted
from the primary name but not from the aka.  I'm selecting "Produce file for
GEDCOM 5.5 only," a customized list of items to export with the GIVN and
SURN tags omitted but ALIA included, and all the boxes checked under "Groups
of Items to EXCLUDE from Export" except Alternate Names and Sources.  I've
tried a zillion different combinations of these selections, but no luck.  I
have version 7.0.0.90 and XP, but I wouldn't expect that to make any
difference.

After three days of testing, though, a friend has helped me with a
work-around so I'm getting the desired result now at last.

If you see anything in the choices above that may be causing the problem,
I'd appreciate hearing from you.

Hi Kirsten

I have just tried the procedure and it appears to do what you are wanting. I
created a 2 person test database with one AKA for one of them (very simple
so that I could see what was happening). I exported a gedcom for 5.5 Gedcom
format (not the Legacy format default, although I am not sure if this makes
a difference). I opened the file in my text editor (Notepad) so that I could
see what came through - the answer was:

0 @I1@ INDI
1 NAME John /SMITH/
1 NAME Fred /DAGG/

  where these are the name and the AKA.

Is this what you want?

Cheers, Brett

Brett:

I don't quite follow everything you've said, but it sounds fairly similar to
what my more knowledgeable friend is telling me.  As I understand it, Legacy
isn't programmed to permit excluding GIVN and SURN tags from the aka fields;
excluding those two tags only applies to the primary name.  I'm not sure
whether that's an intelligible response because I'm speaking in a foreign
language but perhaps you'll understand.

Thanks for taking a look at my annoying problem.

Kirsten

-Original Message-

Hi Kirsten

The tags you are using for names are (as in a Legacy 7 generated gedcom
viewed in Notepad) for example:

0 @Ixxx@ INDI
1 NAME Joe /Bloggs/
2 GIVN Joe
2 SURN Bloggs
1 NAME Joseph /Blogs/
2 GIVN Joseph
2 SURN Blogs

There may be other tags interspersed for sources etc where applicable, but
essentially there is simply a repeat of the name, given name and surname
tags for each name/AKA. I have looked at other gedcoms and seen only the
level 1 NAME tag, so obviously the gedcom structure does not rely on the
level 2 name tags to work. If you exclude the level 2 GIVN and 2 SURN tags
then you should still get the repeat of level 1 NAME tag for each name/AKA.
The AKA does not use a different tag from the "main" name in a gedcom file.

Cheers, Brett

- Original Message -

The usual format for an individual's page at RootsWeb WorldConnect for
records uploaded from a Legacy-created GEDCOM begins like this:

ID:  []
Name:  [John Quincy Jones]
Surname:  [Jones]
Given Name:  [John Quincy]

This is a useless repetition of names and clutters up the page, so I
eliminate the Surname and Given Name lines by deleting the appropriate
GEDCOM tags before creating the file.  The trouble starts again when an
individual has an aka (or 2 or 3).  For each aka I still get the same three
Name-Surname-Given Name lines.  I can't find the GEDCOM tags that cause this
in order to delete them.

Does anyone know why this happens and how to prevent it for aka's?

[LegacyUG] Source Citation consistency - for Access & ltools users

2009-10-05 Thread Richard Van Wasshnova
I just recently finished converting all my US census' from basic to
Source Writer using Access at first then ltools. Wanting to verify
completeness and consistency I created a Select query combining tblSX
(Source Citaions) and tblER (Event Records) and focusing on a single,
selectable Master Source (from tblSR).
This easily shows my common mistakes. When I filled in the source
citation for census I sometimes missed the same citation used for
another event such as birth or I sometimes added a copy of parents
census and left the old unedited census for same year.
Click on the Source Detail or Content to sort and look for inconsistency.


For ltools add this to MySelectQueries.txt:
"View Source Details for a selected Master Source + their associated
event","SELECT tblSX.SrcDetail, tblSX.SrcSurety, tblSX.Content,
tblSX.EnteredSD, tblSX.IDSR, tblSX.Type, tblSX.IDIME, tblER.IDIR,
tblER.Desc, tblER.Description, tblER.EventSD FROM tblSX INNER JOIN
tblER ON tblSX.IDIME = tblER.IDER WHERE (((tblSX.IDSR)={tblSX.IDSR}))"

For Access use this query - change 280 at end to whatever Master
Source you want:
SELECT tblSX.SrcDetail, tblSX.SrcSurety, tblSX.Content,
tblSX.EnteredSD, tblSX.IDSR, tblSX.Type, tblSX.IDIME, tblER.IDIR,
tblER.Desc, tblER.Description, tblER.EventSD
FROM tblSX INNER JOIN tblER ON tblSX.IDIME = tblER.IDER
WHERE (((tblSX.IDSR)=280));

Below is excerpt from my Excel Master Source list:
IDSRSrcName
280 Census > 1860 > Michigan > Monroe
404 Census > 1860 > Michigan > Wayne
434 Census > 1860 > Ohio > Henry
403 Census > 1860 > Ohio > Lucas
428 Census > 1860 > Ohio > Putnam

Below is from Excel database borrowed from Dennis Kowallek web site. I
inseted the 3rd col. to show where to get RIN or MRIN from the query.
I deleted some LDS source types as I can't verify. Also deleted Parent
/ child relationship types which this query does shw but which require
connect to tblCR not in this query.
TypeIDIME (fgn Tbl) RIN or MRIN Comment
0   tblIR   RIN=IDIME   Unspecified
1   tblIR   RIN=IDIME   Name
2   tblIR   RIN=IDIME   Birth
3   tblIR   RIN=IDIME   Baptism
4   tblIR   RIN=IDIME   Death
5   tblIR   RIN=IDIME   Burial
6   tblIR   RIN=IDIME   General Notes
7   tblIR   RIN=IDIME   Research Notes
8   tblIR   RIN=IDIME   Medical Notes
9   tblIR   RIN=IDIME   Death Cause
19  tblIR   RIN=IDIME   Never Married
20  tblMR   MRIN=IDIME  Marriage
21  tblMR   MRIN=IDIME  Marriage Notes
22  tblMR   MRIN=IDIME  Did Not Marry
23  tblMR   MRIN=IDIME  Had No Children
30  tblER   RIN=IDIME   Individual dropdown menu events
31  tblER   MRIN=IDIME  Marriage dropdown menu events

tblSX.SrcDetail:
For a basic source this field contains any entries for Edit Detail >
first tab labeled Detail Information (Source Detail text box, Surety
Level, Recorded Date and File ID).
After doing a Source Conversion, any text that was in the Source
Detail text box is lost to Legacy as the new SR citaion template takes
it's place. tblSX.SrcDetail shows the basic text box text until you
click Edit Detail and Save. Then it picks up the Series # from the
Master Source plus some of the entries from Source (citation) Detail.

RE: [LegacyUG] Pictures of Locations

2009-10-05 Thread CE Wood
There are several reports in which you cannot choose to have even event
pictures print, such as the individual report.

There are many reports in which only events can have pictures print, but NOT
birth, baptism, death, burial, or marriage.  BTW, those are events too, but
not classified as such for picture purpose.

Many reports do not allow a location report to be included.

All reports should have the option to include a location report that
includes the location notes and/or pictures.

Apologies for an incorrect reply in my previous post. I was certain that I 
tested my report in the Publishing Centre, but obviously not, as the 
generations *are* starting on a new page even when the "start each 
generation on a new page is unchecked". You are correct in saying that the 
Reset button does not correct this.

That "reset" button, done through either the individual Ancestor
Report or the Ancestor Report contained within the "book" in the
Publishing Center, resets the report to the default - start each
generation on a new page.  The button will reset the report to start
each generation on a new page, but UNCHECKING the selection,
**within the Publishing Center**, does nothing. Outside of the
Publishing Center, my Ancestor Reports looks good - one generation
follows another without a page break.

I appreciate your thoughts.

I'm pretty sure I've missed something, but can't figure out what.

I have multiple chapters in a book - the descendant reports look
fine, with sources as endnotes after each chapter.
But the Ancestor reports continue to break after each generation -
starting each generation on a new page, even though I have
unchecked the box in the page layout report options to start a new
page after each generation.

Creating an Ancestor Report, starting in the "Books and Other"
screen works well - no page breaks between generations.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to eliminate the page breaks in
an Ancestor Report when using the Publishing Center?

Re: [LegacyUG] Pictures of Locations

2009-10-05 Thread Alastair Lack
Thanks to each of you for your help.
I do in fact realise that there is a workaround by including locations
as events - long and tedious as that would be in a large database.
My fundamental question is how, in a location report, to include the
pictures. I gather from the replies that I probably can't!
I think CE is right
Regards
Alastair
