Re: [LegacyUG] Does anyone know how to increase max number of children from 60 to 99
If I THINK that the person may have a connection to my family, I put them in a separate database that I call "Unconnected People". There are lots of unlinked individuals in there. Once I make the connection, then I use split screen to move them from that database to my main one.

Re: [LegacyUG] Question about "Vacation Event" and Thank You for Godparent event ideas.
I have a His/Her Godfather and His/Her Godmother events (2 for each). These are given to a person who's baptism is being recorded. This is used regardless of whether the godfather or godmother is related AND in my database. I have Godfather/Godmother events that I use for the person who is actually the Godfather or Godmother. This event states that the person was the godfather or godmother for so-and-so on such date and in such location. That way if the person is in my database, he/she gets one of these events. If he/she is not, then this event is not recorded. There is not always a one-for-one recording of these.

Re: [LegacyUG] Naming documents and using File ID numbers

Re: [LegacyUG] Searching globally
Gee, thanks, Mike! When I first read your response, I took your tone to be that of someone who was tired of seeing questions from ignorant members of the Legacy user community. You told me to "wake up" as if I was blind or stupid. Am I wrong? You've never responded like that before, have you? I was looking at the "Search" function that results from the Toolbar button. I use this very often and am pretty well-versed with it. That is what I assumed Ron was talking about. But before you saying anything else, I know - I shouldn't assume anything. Since I couldn't find it there, I thought I would ask what I thought was an innocent question. I am not an ignorant user. I have done many of my own updates using Access. I just know that there are many functions of the program itself that I haven't needed or looked for in all the years I've used it. Mary Mike Fry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > M.
