[LegacyUG] OOo Base
Ron, I downloaded OO and installed Base, but I haven't figured out how to open my .fdb file. When I tell it I want to open an Access file it does not give access to any files in the folder where I made a copy of my Legacy *.fdb Do I need to change the extension, or what?

I would not, however, recommend amending them and over writing the original - or at least be very very careful as OOo Base is not entirely bug free. Hence, in my view, is only suitable for having a look at the file. Ron Ferguson Have you unlocked the real power of Legacy? Legacy 6.0 Deluxe has 92 features not found in the Standard Edition.

[LegacyUG] SINGLE NAMES
Hi Listers; What is the accepted way of entering the name of an individual who oly has one name? I do not mean that the given name is unknown, but that he has only one name. I am speaking not only of historical characters such as Moses, but contemporary people with only one name, such as a businessman in Arizona whose only name is Nelson. That is what is on his business card and how he introduces his self. Art Seddon *** Give the gift of Legacy for the holidays!

Ron, this seems to have worked, together with running Registry Mechanic to clean up the registry. Legacy now starts clean and much faster! Thanks, Art Seddon Art, Have you considered uninstalling Easy CD and DVD Creator deleting all it's files and then trying Legacy? If all is well you could then reinstall Easy CD and DVD Creator. Although it's not unknown for a program to commandeer a Windows dll for its own use I fail to see why this should suddenly happen when both programs have been installed for a long time so I doubt if that is the case here.

Re: [LegacyUG] Namelist typing default
My copy, ver 6.0.0.110, defaults to Research Notes or Medical Notes, if last used, but not General Notes or Edit. All other tabs default to last used of Surname, Given or RIN.

I think it is). When you open the Name List, if the tab that is open is any of the tabs except Edit or Notes the cursor does default correctly to the Given or Surname fields. BUT, if you last used the Name List screen's Notes or Edit tabs, then when you later reopen the Name List to search for a person, that is the tab that opens and the cursor then defaults not to the name fields but to the Notes or Edit fields. I can see the logic behind that behavior but it can be annoying when you are opening a Name List for the purpose of searching for a person. In my case I just could not see why that new behavior was happening without testing it in a variety of ways.

Hi; Is there any way to tag a group in the name list, do a search of that tag number and then sort by date of birth?
