Re: [LegacyUG] living again

2009-10-08 Thread Evert van Dijken
Yes, according to the Help Legacy will only look at ancestors to determine
if someone is dead when you use the Advanced Set Living from the Tools menu.
So if you have a descendant who died 100 years ago all of his ancestors will
have Living set to No as well.
If someone was married 150 years ago he must be dead by now I suppose. So if
Legacy doesn't Set Living to No for this individual this might be a bug. If
it's not a bug Legacy staff might see this as a "Suggest a new feature".

Re: [LegacyUG] How would you add this event?

2009-10-08 Thread RICHARD SCHULTHIES
This was a case of finalizing a grant. Military land, and all US land was 
awarded in a four part process. First a person would recieve a warrant which 
allowed him to request a surveyor to go out and define/set boundaries for a 
piece of land the size of the grant (or he would pay for it). The 
Surveyor would do as many as he could each day, putting them next to each 
other. (and use rocks, rivers and trees carved in for borders.) He described 
the boundaries using compass directions and lengths of chain, from the above 
rocks etc. His land had already finished most of the process, so you might want 
to find the other documents described above, and package all it into the 
'deed'  file. Send to me privately for more assistance if desired.

RE: [LegacyUG] Publishing Center - Maintaining Selected Font and including sources

That's because the Source options have now been moved to the "Additional"
tab->Source Options for the Book (it's the second tab after Contents).  All
of the items in your book will use the Source settings selected from the
"Additional" tab ->Source Options.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Publishing Center - Maintaining Selected Font and
including sources

Is anyone else having a problem with customizing the font in a book created 
in the Publishing Center?  I have a specific font selected in the 
Descendant/Ancestor individual Report Options, and for a Multiple Lines of 
Descent Report, but it will not "transfer" to the settings in the Publishing

Center.

Selecting "Edit Settings For Current Chapter" shows the font I have chosen, 
but the font is incorrect in the print preview, when the report is done 
through the Publishing Center.  Individual Descendant/Ancestor reports, done

outside of the Publishing Center, preview with the correct font.

Additionally, in the Publishing Center, a Multiple Lines of Descent Report 
does not allow for the printing of sources - the entire "Sources" tab is 
grayed out.  Sources are allowed, however, when creating a Multiple Lines of

Descent Report outside of the Publishing Center.

Version: 7.0.0.109

File maintenance - done.

Reboot system - done.

Reset and select specific fonts - done.

Anyone have any other suggestions?

Judy

Hello all,
Awhile ago I imported a gedcom from somewhere (I think FamilySearch). It 
wasn't until recently that I discovered that the MRIN's imported were 8 
digit numbers and all subsequent MRINs generated by Legacy were 8 digits. 
I've corrected all those so that they are in sequence with the rest of my 
families BUT Legacy still generates 8 digit MRINs when I create a new 
marriage. What do I need to do to stop it?

I have the most recent version of Legacy Deluxe 7.0.0.109.

Thanks,

i wind up with a record that says(for example) Joe Blow m [[mother of

Maybe Legacy can add some additional parameters for automatically

he is probably dead.  If his mother died over 100 years ago he is

If you would like to send me your back-up file off list I will happily have

Jim,

I don't understand what you are saying here. If somebody has a date in the 
death, no matter what their age at death then the living flag will already be 
set to "No". Advanced set living only sets this flag.

One way is to run the following UPDATE query in MS Access (or other
tool)...

UPDATE tblMR SET tblMR.IDTRSeal = (DMax('IDMR','tblMR') + 1) WHERE
(tblMR.IDMR=0)

Another way might be to export your database to another Legacy database,
telling the export to renumber the MRINs (I haven't tried this).

Exporting to a GEDCOM and importing that back into another Legacy
database while renumbering the MRINs will probably also work.

[LegacyUG] MRIN troubles

2009-10-08 Thread Nancy

Hello all,
Awhile ago I imported a gedcom from somewhere (I think FamilySearch). It 
wasn't until recently that I discovered that the MRIN's imported were 8 
digit numbers and all subsequent MRINs generated by Legacy were 8 digits. 
I've corrected all those so that they are in sequence with the rest of my 
families BUT Legacy still generates 8 digit MRINs when I create a new 
marriage. What do I need to do to stop it?


I have the most recent version of Legacy Deluxe 7.0.0.109.

Thanks,
Nancy

Well I just hate to write again about anything to do with Legacy, I have
not
done anymore updates for fear of some unknown happening.  I'm on version
7.0.090 and have used the program since version 4.

I have been updating all my families with their 1850 census, I go to the
Master Source List, go to Source, open the file and go down the list
checking everything that shows it has a 1850 census.  Ask it to show me
the
list, to make sure all are checked with a number 2, close it and go to 
the

next one.

I have come on a group under Indiana, Clay Co., Van Buren Twp., - 1850 
and
the next on the list is the same everything except it's a 1860.  These 
two

list has 18 people, All eighteen have both the 1850 census and the 1860
census.

All of the people on both these lists have 1850 census and 1860 census on
their family screens, all information shows correct, all sources show
correct, but on the Master list, only half of them (11) show on 1850 list
and (7) show on the  1860.

So I went through all the 1860 deleted the old 1860 from the Events list,
re-added it and everything on my Master Source list finally showed up 
just

right, all on both the 1850 & 1860 lists.

Shut the program down, since I was almost sick thinking of all I was 
going
to have to change when I finally felt up to it.  Some hours have gone 
bye,

open up the program, went right to the Master Source and guess what half
is
on the 1850 and half are on the 1860. Right back to where they were 
before

all the work deleting and adding the census again.   What in the world is
happening?  Can I sent attachments so you can look at the papers I 
printed

out?  It might help you understand what I'm writing.

I know I don't seem to be able to explain things clearly so staff can
understand what I telling them.  But this is a mess and I afraid to check
anymore files but know that there are more errors.

Pleae help as soon as possible
thanks

RE: [LegacyUG] living again

2009-10-08 Thread Cathy-0

When I had that problem, I went to the Index view and added the column
entitled "Living".  While I had to re-adjust the columnar widths so that I
could see more columns for each person, I found it a lot easier to see those
who were marked as either "No" for not living or "Yes" for living.  

This allowed me to see people and their relevant info on one line.  Just
clicking on a line opened up the Individual's Information screen where I
could then change the status from Living to Deceased. I found this way to be
relative easy.  

I was also clicked on the RIN section at the top of the page which sorted
everyone by RIN numbers.  In that way, I knew where I stopped editing the
Living status when I stopped an editing session.  Then I wrote down the last
RIN number viewed or edited so that I knew where to start the next time I
picked up the task again.

Thanks, so much, Dan; your message was very helpful, and I changed the
virtual memory as you suggested -- to 8500mb -- it was previously set at
c6500mb.
 
However, when I again attempted to create the .pdf I got the Error 3050
message again.  So I came down a few generations and tried again and this
time it was successful -- the result was a .pdf file of just under 142,000kb
with c140 pictures.  It's 385 pp (c100 of them are citations).  
 
If I had gotten the whole thing, I estimate that I would have added 50-100
pp and c50 pictures--nowhere near the 3500 pages it previously attempted to
create.
 
I don't know whether the size of the pictures affects things, mine are quite
a nice size.
 
I am wondering whether there is a Legacy or Adobe "bug" involve?
 
It doesn't seem to me that it is too much to ask of Legacy to create a .pdf
of 200 pages.
 
I'd really appreciate any further comments.

Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Legacy unable to "lock file"

It sounds to me like you've run out of "virtual memory".
 
In short, the computer has not got enough space to work with the pdf file
that is being created.  PDF files are notoriously big especially so when u
add photo's to it.  And if generating a 3500 page file...wow!  Its going to
be huge, and will take forever to open if u ever get it created.  
 
Think of your virtual memory like your desk, and your hard drive like your
book shelf.  ...when u work on a project you work on your desk and all your
supplies are stored on your book shelf.  If you don't have enough room on
the desk...it makes working on the project extremely hard, or at the very
least very time consuming moving stuff on and off the desk.  Computers are
the same way.  That's why you're encouraged to have as much memory as
possible.    
 
As a rule of thumb, your virtual memory should be at least twice the size of
your RAM memory.  The computer will automatically set it but generally no
where near the proper size.  You have the ability to change it,
manually...(but you will get warning messages when you do so - don't worry
about them)
 
First, check how much space you have available.  You said you have 4 GB of
RAM.  This means your should set your virtual memory to at least 8 GB (I
would set mine to 8320 mb...which equates to 8 GB of space plus 128 kb -
just to be safe).  Make sure you have the available space on your hard drive
as this is where your "desk" is carved out of.  Assuming you have the space
continue as indicated.  My instructions are for XP...I don't use Vista as it
is to problematic...even Microsoft is moving away from it.  You'll have to
make the necessary adjustments in finding the exact location
 
1)  Right click on "My Computer"
2)  Left click on "Properties"
3)  Left click on the "Advanced" tab
4)  Find the "Virtual Memory" section and click on the change button.  
5)  Set the Initial Size and the Maximum size to the same number...8320 (you
set them both to the same size so the system takes all the room it will need
at one time.  Otherwise the computer will only take the bare minimum when it
starts up and continue trying to take more as needed.  It's similar to
having to work on 10 or 12 small desks vs. 1 large desk.  The large desk is
what you want)
6)  Click ok until you are backed right out.  
7)  Restart your computer
 
You will now have enough virtual memory to properly work with your
computer.   Assuming your have the hard drive space available, I guarantee
that ALL your programs will run better, not just Legacy.  
 
One word of caution...make sure you have enough disk space...or else you may
lock your computer up and not get it to start
 
Best of luck.

Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Master l Source is messing up


Well I just hate to write again about anything to do with Legacy, I have 
not

done anymore updates for fear of some unknown happening.  I'm on version
7.0.090 and have used the program since version 4.

I have been updating all my families with their 1850 census, I go to the
Master Source List, go to Source, open the file and go down the list
checking everything that shows it has a 1850 census.  Ask it to show me 
the

list, to make sure all are checked with a number 2, close it and go to the
next one.

I have come on a group under Indiana, Clay Co., Van Buren Twp., - 1850 and
the next on the list is the same everything except it's a 1860.  These two
list has 18 people, All eighteen have both the 1850 census and the 1860
census.

All of the people on both these lists have 1850 census and 1860 census on
their family screens, all information shows correct, all sources show
correct, but on the Master list, only half of them (11) show on 1850 list
and (7) show on the  1860.

So I went through all the 1860 deleted the old 1860 from the Events list,
re-added it and everything on my Master Source list finally showed up just
right, all on both the 1850 & 1860 lists.

Shut the program down, since I was almost sick thinking of all I was going
to have to change when I finally felt up to it.  Some hours have gone bye,
open up the program, went right to the Master Source and guess what half 
is

on the 1850 and half are on the 1860. Right back to where they were before
all the work deleting and adding the census again.   What in the world is
happening?  Can I sent attachments so you can look at the papers I printed
out?  It might help you understand what I'm writing.

I know I don't seem to be able to explain things clearly so staff can
understand what I telling them.  But this is a mess and I afraid to check
anymore files but know that there are more errors.

Pleae help as soon as possible
thanks

I have a married couple that are both marked as living.  Their son was born 
in 1847.  I think that Legacy should be able to say that his parents are 
dead.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy unable to "lock file"

2009-10-08 Thread Pat Hickin
Thanks, so much, Dan; your message was very helpful, and I changed the virtual 
memory as you suggested -- to 8500mb -- it was previously set at c6500mb.

However, when I again attempted to create the .pdf I got the Error 3050 message 
again.  So I came down a few generations and tried again and this time it was 
successful -- the result was a .pdf file of just under 142,000kb with c140 
pictures.  It's 385 pp (c100 of them are citations).  

If I had gotten the whole thing, I estimate that I would have added 50-100 pp 
and c50 pictures--nowhere near the 3500 pages it previously attempted to create.

I don't know whether the size of the pictures affects things, mine are quite a 
nice size.

I am wondering whether there is a Legacy or Adobe "bug" involve?

It doesn't seem to me that it is too much to ask of Legacy to create a .pdf of 
200 pages.

I'd really appreciate any further comments.

  Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Legacy unable to "lock file"


  It sounds to me like you've run out of "virtual memory".

  In short, the computer has not got enough space to work with the pdf file 
that is being created.  PDF files are notoriously big especially so when u add 
photo's to it.  And if generating a 3500 page file...wow!  Its going to be 
huge, and will take forever to open if u ever get it created.  

  Think of your virtual memory like your desk, and your hard drive like your 
book shelf.  ...when u work on a project you work on your desk and all your 
supplies are stored on your book shelf.  If you don't have enough room on the 
desk...it makes working on the project extremely hard, or at the very least 
very time consuming moving stuff on and off the desk.  Computers are the same 
way.  That's why you're encouraged to have as much memory as possible.

  As a rule of thumb, your virtual memory should be at least twice the size of 
your RAM memory.  The computer will automatically set it but generally no where 
near the proper size.  You have the ability to change it, manually...(but you 
will get warning messages when you do so - don't worry about them)

  First, check how much space you have available.  You said you have 4 GB of 
RAM.  This means your should set your virtual memory to at least 8 GB (I would 
set mine to 8320 mb...which equates to 8 GB of space plus 128 kb - just to be 
safe).  Make sure you have the available space on your hard drive as this is 
where your "desk" is carved out of.  Assuming you have the space continue as 
indicated.  My instructions are for XP...I don't use Vista as it is to 
problematic...even Microsoft is moving away from it.  You'll have to make the 
necessary adjustments in finding the exact location

  1)  Right click on "My Computer"
  2)  Left click on "Properties"
  3)  Left click on the "Advanced" tab
  4)  Find the "Virtual Memory" section and click on the change button.  
  5)  Set the Initial Size and the Maximum size to the same number...8320 (you 
set them both to the same size so the system takes all the room it will need at 
one time.  Otherwise the computer will only take the bare minimum when it 
starts up and continue trying to take more as needed.  It's similar to having 
to work on 10 or 12 small desks vs. 1 large desk.  The large desk is what you 
want)
  6)  Click ok until you are backed right out.  
  7)  Restart your computer

  You will now have enough virtual memory to properly work with your computer.  
 Assuming your have the hard drive space available, I guarantee that ALL your 
programs will run better, not just Legacy.  

  One word of caution...make sure you have enough disk space...or else you may 
lock your computer up and not get it to start

  Best of luck.

  Pat,

  How's your hard drive space?  It might be  having a problem creating some 
temporary work files on the drive due to lack of space.

  I'd also look over the drive for any left-over temp files that didn't get 
deleted after the crash.  No, I'm not sure where to look - don't know where the 
PDF utility might put them.

  First place I'd look would be:
C:\WINDOWS\TEMP
C:\Documents and Settings\\My Documents(where  is your 
log-in ID)
  Note that these locations might vary depending on what version of WIndows 
you have.  Maybe a better method would be to use Microsoft's Disk cleanup 
utility.  Under my XP, it is 

[LegacyUG] Tagging people question

2009-10-08 Thread Michele Lewis

If I tag a group of people that I need to check or fix something on

If I use the arrows at the bottom of screen to go through the list...

As long as I don't change anything on the person it will go to the next 
person.  If I make a change to the person then when I hit the arrow it will 
say "End of Tag List reached, moving to first Tagged Individual."


This is VERY aggravating.  If I am changing things on everyone in the list 
then every time I hit the arrow to go to the next person I get that screen 
and then I have to click it off, then hit the arrow again.


Does that make sense?

RE: [LegacyUG] no name people

2009-10-08 Thread William H. Boswell
I just do Mr. or Mrs. and whatever the surname is and tell Legacy to ignore
it for that person.  Legacy has unknowns married to unknowns in my data file
which is a mystery to me.  Unknown children who died before they were named
or in childbirth are just listed as Child or Baby, or something like that.

Personally I've experienced problems with Legacy naming the wife or husband
as Unknown when I imported my Gedcom file.  When I tried to fix it, the
Unknown didn't go away and it was a pain to get rid of it.  Fortunately,
it's fixed now.

[LegacyUG] Publishing Center - Maintaining Selected Font and including sources

2009-10-08 Thread Judy
Is anyone else having a problem with customizing the font in a book created 
in the Publishing Center?  I have a specific font selected in the 
Descendant/Ancestor individual Report Options, and for a Multiple Lines of 
Descent Report, but it will not "transfer" to the settings in the Publishing 
Center.


Selecting "Edit Settings For Current Chapter" shows the font I have chosen, 
but the font is incorrect in the print preview, when the report is done 
through the Publishing Center.  Individual Descendant/Ancestor reports, done 
outside of the Publishing Center, preview with the correct font.


Additionally, in the Publishing Center, a Multiple Lines of Descent Report 
does not allow for the printing of sources - the entire "Sources" tab is 
grayed out.  Sources are allowed, however, when creating a Multiple Lines of 
Descent Report outside of the Publishing Center.


Version: 7.0.0.109

File maintenance - done.

Reboot system - done.

Reset and select specific fonts - done.

Anyone have any other suggestions?

[LegacyUG] How would you add this event? Part II

2009-10-08 Thread Michele Lewis
Actually, I am not even sure how to add this as a source.  I guess just as a 
generic court document?


michele

My ggg grandfather appeared in court on 08 Nov 1851.  He was there to 
prove that he was the Silas Simmons that fought in the War of 1812 and was 
at the Battle of New Orleans so that he would be entitled to bounty land 
(there was another Silas Simmons in the area so he went to court to prove 
he was who he said he was).


I am trying to figure out what the best way to title this event. 
Affidavit? (that is what the document it).  Court Appearance (that one 
just sounds strange).  This document isn't a deed.  I don't know what I 
should title the event.  Any suggestions?


I want it to be an event so that I can show the progession of all the 
events of his life in order of dates.  (one of the reasons I like Legacy).

Step one

Add father with just last name of Mayo.

Step two...

Add (or link) all of his children to him.  

Step three...

Legacy will automatically add "unknown" in the wife's name

I get a short second set of source citations, numbered from 1. again. 
There

is plenty or room for these citations to fit on the last page of the long

The second problem is that if a direct descendant is married their picture
doesn't appear - only that of their spouse.  If the direct descendant is
unmarried their picture appears.  I have options set for show pictures of
husband and wife, show all preferred.  They have always shown in other
reports, specifically the Descendant Narrative.  Can anyone reproduce?

Something like...

UPDATE tblSX SET tblSX.SrcDetText=tblSX.SrcDetNote,tblSX.SrcDetNote=""
WHERE ((tblSX.SrcDetText="") AND (tblSX.SrcDetNote<>""))

... would move *ALL* Detail Comments to Detail Text for every citation

2009-10-08 Thread Ron Ferguson

Randoph,

I don't doubt that you are unfortunately getting this error, but I don't. 
Error 6 is probably the ms Access overflow error, usually due to trying to 
fit something into a data field which is too big for that field. So the 
obvious question is what do you have in your database which is rather a 
large number or string?

William,

There might be an easier way.  Can you email me some screen shots of what
you are doing?  If you are just moving the Master source record "comments"
field to the "Text" field; and it needs to be done for everyone linked to
that person; it should give you that option.

Otherwise, if you are talking about the specific details or "citation" for
each individual of the Master Source Record; then there is also a way I can
help you move this over.  You can email me directly at lask...@att.net

I think that Jan is certainly correct in saying that for the technical

CE,
I believe the limitations you are experiencing are part and parcel
of the type of output you are requesting, rather than a limitation
of Legacy. Asking for a text file will automatically strip / not
pick up the coding which allows for the creation of an index - just
as it strips / does not pick up any coding relating to font, bold,
italics etc.  It produces a text document only.  With the .rtf
document it includes something like the following

[ Note:  Using your word processor, generate an Index here. ]
[ All names have been marked as index entries in this document. ]
[ Erase these three lines. ]

at the end of the document so you can use your word processor to
create the index.  I find this invaluable, because I don't create
the index until I have edited the .rtf which may put people onto
different pages as I move things, change the size of photos etc.  So
the .rtf version retains the index markings, but allows you to still
create an index once you have finished editing.  The other versions
you cannot edit (unless you have a fully fledged PDF creator /
editor) so there is no need to hold off creating the index.

Cheers
Jan

I am not asking Legacy to be a word processor.  I am asking that,
when a report is Previewed and there are check boxes for printing
various types of files, that those options be produced in whatever
format which has a checkbox.

The simplest would be a text file because then you could format the
file in your word processor.

When the opening page allows you to choose Index Options, you assume
that the indices will be produced in whatever format is allowed, i.e.
Screen/Printer, Text file, HTML, RTF, PDF.

When the Preview shows you a report that includes indices, you
assume that when produced in one of the formats with a check box,
that the indices will be produced when you choose one of those
formats.

This does not happen!  The indices are missing!!!

THAT is what the problem is.

Options be greyed out and become unavailable. I believe there has been 
sufficient discussion of the inability of these formats to support 
creating indexes of names and/or locations to justify that suggestion.


Preview and PDF both include the indexes when selected because the 
Preview also uses the PDF creator tool to format the reports.


I would like more information on which reports you are including in the 
Publication Center book when you are only getting the first chapter in 
HTML format and are missing name indexes for the other chapters in PDF 
and Preview.

Reports.  When I choose Text file or HTML (there is no option for RTF), the

indices have been selected and do appear in Preview and PDF.

Also, when using Publishing Center, the HTML report includes only the first
chapter of the book even though Preview and PDF include all the chapters.

And, in the book, the Name Index for the book includes ONLY the names from
the first chapter.

RE: [LegacyUG] No report indices in text format, & other bugs in reports

2009-10-08 Thread CE Wood
RTF format is not offered for the reports in question.

It is both the Text and HTML formats that do not include either Index when
selected and when they DO show in Preview and PDF.

CE,
I believe the limitations you are experiencing are part and parcel of the
type of output you are requesting, rather than a limitation of Legacy.
Asking for a text file will automatically strip / not pick up the coding
which allows for the creation of an index - just as it strips / does not
pick up any coding relating to font, bold, italics etc.  It produces a text
document only.  With the .rtf document it includes something like the
following

[ Note:  Using your word processor, generate an Index here. ]
[ All names have been marked as index entries in this document. ]
[ Erase these three lines. ]

at the end of the document so you can use your word processor to create the
index.  I find this invaluable, because I don't create the index until I
have edited the .rtf which may put people onto different pages as I move
things, change the size of photos etc.  So the .rtf version retains the
index markings, but allows you to still create an index once you have
finished editing.  The other versions you cannot edit (unless you have a
fully fledged PDF creator / editor) so there is no need to hold off creating
the index.

Cheers
Jan

Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] No report indices in text format, & other bugs in

I am not asking Legacy to be a word processor.  I am asking that, when a
report is Previewed and there are check boxes for printing various types of
files, that those options be produced in whatever format which has a
checkbox.

The simplest would be a text file because then you could format the file in
your word processor.

When the opening page allows you to choose Index Options, you assume that
the indices will be produced in whatever format is allowed, i.e.
Screen/Printer, Text file, HTML, RTF, PDF.

When the Preview shows you a report that includes indices, you assume that
when produced in one of the formats with a check box, that the indices will
be produced when you choose one of those formats.

This does not happen!  The indices are missing!!!

THAT is what the problem is.

[LegacyUG] Central Place for All Source Details (Citations)?

2009-10-08 Thread William H. Boswell
I am still reorganizing my data in Legacy 7 and am finding it real time
consuming for the Source Details that are linked to many people.  For
instance, when I imported a GEDCOM from Family Tree Maker into Legacy, all
of the Detail Text was put into Detail Comments.  I've been moving them
manually, but many of them are linked to more than one person and finding
them all is not an easy task.  These include source text from cemetery
records and obituaries mostly, but are also census records.

What I've been doing is editing one Source Detail, copying it to the
clipboard, then pasting it back after removing the old one.  Is there a
central place where I can access all of them, update one and have the others
update as it does for Sources?  If there isn't, this should be something for
the next version.  Of course, by then I will be done with this tedious
project.

I'm always afraid I'm creating duplicates of the same citation.  I hate to
say this, but this was a lot easier in FTM 2009 but I'll never go back to
FTM again.

Re: [LegacyUG] how to print Event Address Coordinates

2009-10-08 Thread Dede Holden
Bruce and Leo,

This is what I was trying to avoid.  I have chosen to show only city,
county, state in the burial location. (Because that's what the
Tutorials taught, and I always wanted to be the teacher's pet!)  I may
have to change, but that will require that I figure out how to use
Dennis' wonderful Ltools, which I've purchased, but haven't taken time
to learn.

Leo's report is a good one, but it just gives the lat/long of the
Burial places NOT the Cemetery addresses.

I'll mull this over a little longer and decide which task I want to
undertake - changing all my burial locations to include the cemetery
name or manually going through the address list to see which ones need
lat/long info.

Thanks for your input.  I did learn a little from both of you about
customizing reports, so this was not a totally wasted effort.

Always looking for the positive!
Dede
