RE: [LegacyUG] File IDs
Gary, I have submitted those suggestions to new features. I have also made the suggestion to Geoff R at the 2006 Cruise, and at the Chicago National Genealogy Meeting. So far I have not seen nor heard anything. I keep hoping, since I have my paper copies of documents filed based on the Clooz style, although I do not use Clooz anymore; simply use the Legacy File ID in the same manner.

First, Jim. You are exactly correct. Legacy does not provide a File ID report sorted alphabetically by name. This is a serious shortcoming for the many of us who file records the correct way (said with a smile for those who don't). :) I encourage you and others to use the Legacy Suggest a new feature feature and ask the design team to include a File ID report sorted alphabetically by LName/FName in their next update. You might also mention including on the report: LName, FName, FileID, Date, Caption, Description. Next, Nancy. I would encourage you to abandon the use of last names in your FileID reference. FileIDs are intended for record filing, not family association. If the record you are filing is a birth record you might consider using the prefix D for Document. Then issuing it the next number in your Document numbering sequence (for instance D0234). That FileID is then attached to each person mentioned in the record. When a FileID report is produced (sorted by FileID) it will list that same FileID multiple times (for each individual the record pertains to). If we also had an alphabetical FileID report we could also produce a FileID report sorted by name. With this you would find each individual listed with however many FileIDs s/he had attached. Thereby seeing all the records you had on file for uncle Joe. See my comments above regarding Submit a new feature in hopes that an alphabetical ID report will be added in the next release.

RE: [LegacyUG] File IDs
Hi Jim Hopefully with the resurgence of interest in this topic by several listers we will see some movement by the Legacy design team in an upcoming upgrade. Clooz was too fraught with glitches and promises of tomorrow for me to spend much time with. There is also a voice of caution whispering be wary of tiny publishers developing programs you depend on. I do applaud the basis of the Clooz filing methodology.

RE: [LegacyUG] File IDs
Probably because the File ID identifies the specific Legacy file (and there is only one of each) and is not designed as the identifier of a hard copy.
