Re: [LegacyUG] Suggested improvement or is it just me?
Not necessarily... If Outlook Express is running in the task bar and you double click the Icon on the desktop then another copy is not started but the one in the task bar is brought up, so it would seem that Legacy could do this too. I wouldn't want multiple copies of OE or Legacy to be running either but some programs will allow you to have multiple copies running which can be a good thing in a lot of cases. Double-clicking on the desktop icon tells the computer to start another copy of the program. You shouldn't want to have two copies of the program running at once.

Re: [LegacyUG] splitting up a family tree
How I split my database was to save the database to two different files; One for my family and one for my wife's family. I then used advanced tagging to tag (all my wife's ancestors in my database) (all my ancestors in my wife's database) and delete them. Using the tree finder I found several tree fragments. A little clean-up a couple hours later it was done. For me, and possibly for others, some circumstances may make the option of two databases make sense. All my children are from a previous marriage and all my wife's children are from her previous marriage and we will never have children of our own. Our research purpose is to create a family history for our children so my kids would have no interest in her side of the family and likewise hers would not be interested in my side. I also felt no relatives from her side of the family would have interest in my relatives and vice-versa. So, combining the families would imo just add clutter for anyone interested in looking through the data for their family. We currently have no common ancestors and it doesn't look likely that a connection will be made in that respect. The only commonality between the two databases is: I'm in my wife's and she's in mine. As far as descendants go, I keep her kids and their spouses and descendants in her database and mine are in my database. At one point I too had everything in one database but divided it several years ago and I'm glad I did. If connections ever entangle our families I will entertain combining everything into one database again but until then I'm quite happy with keeping them separated. Note: I did try briefly to seperate the databases out into four databases (my father, my mother, her father, her mother) and that, to me, was quite unmanagable.

As I understand your post You want to change which colums are displayed in the index view and have several views with different colums showing. If this is the case then here's how... 1. In index view right mouse click on the column heading above the names. 2. Click on customize. In the pop-up, select the colums you want displayed and then on the right side of the pop-up click save. In the next pop-up give it a file name and save it. 3.Modify the colums again then save to a different name. 4.Do this for as many views as you need.

Re: [LegacyUG] creating a website using rootsweb freepages
Syble, here's my suggestion. When you create the web pages for the Cline family go to the Project tab and in the project name field enter cline. Use the Save button in the lower right to save this and any other custom settings for the Cline sitw to a file e.g. cline_web_project. Saving the project will allow you to load it in the future the next time you want to create the Cline pages. When you enter cline in the Project name field notice that the location field reight below it changes to C:\Legacy\Web\cline. This will be where all the Cline web pages will be located. Click the Create button to create the Cline pages. Next, open the other family file. Go to the web page creation utility again. Make all the changes or customizations to the web creation fields you want to change for the other family for which you want to create web pages. Change the Project name to the other family name and save it as you did for the cline family e.g. glasscock_web_project. Notice that the web page location changed to include a folder utilizing the new project name. Create the Glasscock pages. Now you have pages for each family in seperate folders. Upload these folders to your site. You should be able to access each site by browsing to: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~sybleg/cline http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~sybleg/glasscock The next thing you need to do is to greate an index.htm page with links to each of those sites and upload it to http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~sybleg/.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy - What is it for?
I agree too. However for me that (along with your includes) would include: a) web page generation (needs some improvement). b) single event attached to multiple individuals. c) separate the program files from the user files. i.e. put the program in Program Files and put the user files in My Documents. Of course I'm sure there are any number of Legacy users that would love to see things like photo manipulation, word processing capabilities and indeed other cool features included. These options are not important to me now but as the genealogy programs evolve they will inevitably have all these and other capabilities. A few years from now when they're talking about adding web crawlers to run in the background to search for all information from library, government, or any other linked info (and all databases will be linked) on anyone in your family and also checks for 100% surety and auto updates your file and generates new updated reports and web pages with advanced word processor formatting while you sleep. Well, how did they manage to do research manually back on 07? It must have been so tedious. I can't imagine spending hours and hours every week searching for family data. I think I'll just go back to sleep and see what my personal genealogist has found for me when I wake up. And if Legacy doesn't add these features someone else will! And that's how companies lose the edge. So, I don't think it's time for the Legacy folks to get rid of all the programmers in the new features development area. I'm looking forward to v7.0. Every once in a while I think about switching to another genealogy program. I'm very particular about fully investigating a programs capabilities before I buy and so far I haven't found anything that works better for me than Legacy. I've tried PAF and FTM and neither one is up to Legacy's capabilities. TMG has the witness feature but as far as I can tell their web page generation isn't as good as Legacy's. I hate to sound like a Legacy commercial but it really is a great program even if they keep adding all those dreaded advanced capabilities. ok, I guess I'm done rambling. -b On 2/15/07, malkajef [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I too support Legacy remaining a pure genealogy program.
